Jet Set Miner

Licence

GNU GPLv3 license

Introduction

Jet Set Miner is a 'highly original' platform game originally coded for the C64 for the 2003 Minigame competition (under the name of Plat 3064) and subsequently ported to the BBC Micro / Electron and, in 2011, also to the Acorn Atom.

Due to the size limitations of the competition, the game is a bit 'lightweight'. However, it can very easily be expanded should anyone wish to work on it.

Features

• Very small size (current binary is under 4k)
• Fully working game engine
• Four levels (though this can be _very_ easily expanded - the average level size is 65 bytes)
• The Acorn port is totally OS legal, so should work on almost anything
• With some modifications, the Acorn port will run on a 16k Model A

Port Details

Updates to the BBC Micro / Electron port by Murray C (MurrayCakaMuzer) in August 2009:

• fixed the bug when returning to the title screen on game over (previously it would crash, since the initial setup routines were being repeated without interrupts being disabled. I added a new label after the initialisation of things like the replacement event routine, etc and modified the jump)
• made the game wait for fire to be released on the title screen, so that you don't jump first thing
• added sound effects for jumping and falling (similar to the ones in Jet Set Willy)
• implemented much more efficient, and smaller, screen clear routine

Port Details

A new port of Jet Set Miner to the Acorn Atom, complete with a fully-functioning, all-new level editor was showcased at the In Da 80s show in Manchester, July 2011. It runs on a standard unexpanded Atom and does not need any extra ROM or hardware. The code is not optimal due to 1 on 1 conversion. The sprite routine is not flicker-free and has room for improvement.
