A VideoNuLA version of the classic BBC Micro game. Features reworked graphics for:
- Player
- Fuel pod
- Platforms
- Items
- Aliens
- Score/Lives font
The rockets are left alone because I felt these were so iconic to the game.
To build and apply the patch you'll need these tools:
Emacs Lisp is used as a scripting language to post-process some of the graphics, make tables etc. mainly because I use Emacs heavily so this was at my fingertips already. The repack.el file drives all this, and requires 2 other packages to be installed (see comments in the file).
Edit the makefile to point at the tools detailed above and running make gfx followed by make should build jetpac-nula.ssd which can then be loaded into a BBC Micro emulator, preferably one that supports the VideoNuLA, eg b2
