Sir Lancelot (z88 version)
This project contains the source code for the z88 port of the ZX Spectrum game Sir Lancelot.
Compilation
To compile you'll need a modern version of z88dk setup and
available in the path. The application can then be generated
by invoking make.
Background
The source code is pretty much as it was when released in 1998, so contains (amongst other things):
- Wonky whitespace
- Commented out code
- Cryptic labels
- Development comments/queries from the disassembly
- False comments
The following changes have been made:
- Update to assemble with the version of z80asm within z88dk
- Updates to remove old email addresses
As a result, the version has been bumped.
In-game Controls
The preset keys are:
- Left - O
- Right - P
- Jump - Space
- Pause - H
These movement keys can be redefined to suit your playing style/hand size!
There is also a set of control keys which cannot be redefined:
- ESC - Quit back to intro from game
- TAB - Toggle screen size - mini/standard
- DEL - Toggle inverse background
Sir Lancelot is quite a noisy game, with music and sound effects, these may be toggled on or off by using the Sound setting from the panel - this can be set at anytime and it will be immediately obeyed.
