New 8-Bit Guy game QUARX for the Dragon 64

[pshoemaker]

Hi everyone,

I ported the 8-Bit Guy's new game, Quarx, to the Dragon 64 (or Dragon 32 with 64K RAM). It is available for free download on the 8-Bit Guy website at https://www.the8bitguy.com/25753/petsci ... available/.

Scroll down past all the PETSCII Robot stuff to find the Quarx downloads.

Thanks to sixxie for helping me put the game binary onto a Dragon virtual disk!

Thank you very much!

The game is wonderfully executed on the Dragon, complete with music and sound effects and nice screen effects.

Congratulations on such amazing job!

Thanks so much, I'm pleased that people are enjoying the game. It was fun to write.

I saw some feedback on the CoCo Nation podcast yesterday about the colors being inexplicably reversed in the border graphics on the play screen. That feedback was spot on. I have no idea why I didn't notice that myself. Anyway, I've made that cosmetic update, and the latest version has been sent to David Murray to post on his 8-Bit Guy site. Also, it's attached here.

Thanks again to sixxie for helping my with the Dragon disk!
