3D/!README

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

The wallsblnk file is a Mode 13 file sized 320 by 256 pixels, in 256 colours. It can be loaded into any art package (Paint works fine, though 24 bit packages might not agree with the low number of colours!). To draw your own graphics just fill in the coloured tiles up to the edges. (The levelblnk text file is a blank level file for you to design levels inside).

The Office directory is merely a demonstration as to what sort of walls you can design, and indeed the sort of level design you might be looking for. Feel free to make alterations.

Any level text files and walls sprite files emailed to me will be uploaded to my web site for everyone to download:

I must apologize that you can't really do much with your levels yet, but next month will but an end to that.

Greg Scott.
