ATARI ST auto boot Tangram puzzle game request

Post#1 » Sat Jun 11, 2022 1:01 pm

This was a request from ShindouGo

video


Improvements over normal Dcastaway emulation

Controls
start = reset the game
left trigger = onscreen keyboard
right = remove onscreen keyboard
analog= mouse if you dont have a real one
B = mouse button 1
x = mouse button 2

--custom splash screen
--custom ip.bin
--gdemu image
--Real and analog stick smooth mouse movement[Still very tough on this game]
--Mouse to analog stick scale deadzone smooth speed progressive
[how hard you press the analog stick is how fast it moves slight press it moves slow scale and dead zone]
--autoboot fast
--fixed all sound problems eg no clicks and pops
--Music emulation now perfect

One of the best parts of this game is the chip tune music :)

Description

Code: Select all

For around 4000 years the Chinese have been enthralled by this puzzle concept. It consists of a set of 7 shapes, representing squares, triangles and trapezoids, which must be arranged to form a pre-defined pattern. In this version there are 200, representing things such as animals and buildings.

The shapes are on the right of the screen, and you move the mouse cursor over one to select it, then place it onto the shape as required. They can be rotated using the right mouse button.

All this is done against a time limit. As well as points for clearing a level, you get bonus time for completing them with time to spare. This bonus time can then be used on later levels if you run out of the allotted time. Once you have no bonus time, you can dig into your main score to provide more time.

There are two difficulty levels - the Novice level sees time elapse half as quickly as the Expert mode, and presents the levels in an approximate order of difficulty, whereas in Expert mode they are in randomised order.


The game is very hard the shapes have to be perfect placed or you will not even get past the first level.. The controls where always tough on this you have to place the shapes 100% perfect to even count this is even with a real mouse..

Real mouse dc emulation is support also..

If you like fustration till you want to break something this is the game for you hehe

Yes i did get to the 2nd level after 25 mins I did not record that in the video it is possible just so you no there is no game bugs.

This game is this fustrating and hard.. Kinda of i need one more go type of thing hehe..
