Making a MegaZeux Game - ADG Mod 10
196You know... I don't think I ever properly completed my own original MegaZeux game until now... :o
Today on ADG Mod, Gemini's put together an ENTIRE GAME using MegaZeux, but not just any old MegaZeux game, one which breaks beyond the expected boundaries of the software! Thus we'll be stepping through exactly how this was done, how the main mechanics of the game work, and why certain things were done the way they were given the limitations and functionality of the old DOS versions of MegaZeux!

Additional Information and Corrections:
* If you'd like to download the ADG Lazer Warz game and try it for yourself, head to the MegaZeux Games page on my website: http://www.pixelships.com/megazeux.html
* To download MegaZeux itself, required to play the game, as well as many other MegaZeux games created over the years, head on over to the DigitalMZX website: https://www.digitalmzx.com
* I am aware that the game created here isn't 100% free of glitches and exploits, for instance, any vertical lazerwalls produced automatically in the game can technically be overcome with brute force from the right side because of the nature of how things are being processed, or you can switch your active lazer just as the lazer robot is firing, resulting in a different colour being processed compared to what you visually see, but it is extremely difficult to take advantage of these glitches and don't harm the normal gameplay at all, so I decided trying to prevent them from being a problem was way more trouble than just leaving them in. :B
* This is technically only the second MegaZeux game I've ever finished, the other being a port of Town of ZZT to MegaZeux. I almost finished my BattleSuits RPG back in 2000 but a hard drive crash destroyed it two weeks before it was finished. In fact, I still have the hard drive; the crash was due to a faulty chip on its board so the data may still be intact on there... might find out for certain some day, but even if I do I have other ideas for how to make a better BattleSuits game without MegaZeux!
