# Robot Chase
Copyright 2020 Andrew Pamment
Based on the game "CHASE" appearing in the book
"More BASIC Computer Games" by David Ahl.
The original files can be found here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~apamment/CPM/
## The game
You are trapped in a maze of high voltage power fences and posts. There are also
killer robots trying to destroy you.
Your only hope is to lure the robots into a fence or each other to destroy them.
If things get hopeless, you can do a mega jump, but you could end up anywhere,
including on top of a power fence or a robot!
## Keys
Use the numpad to move, even diagonally.
Use ``J`` to jump and ``0`` to pass a round.
7 8 9 J - Jump
\ | / 0 - Pass
4 - * - 6
/ | \
1 2 3 Q - Quit
* - You
X - High Voltage Line
+ - Killer Robot
## Compiling
Robot Chase is written in C for the ZXCC compiler which can be found in [z88dk](https://www.z88dk.org/).
Use this command line (tested in Linux) to compile:
zcc +cpm -lm -lndos -O3 -o CHASE.COM chase.c ansi.c
