Hunt4Gems - an arcade game in 10 lines
======================================

Coded by Robert Naumann in 2017 for the Basic 10liners Contest 2017

1. Motivation
=============

I read about the contest on forum64.de and thought it would be a nice challenge to contribute something.
As I never wrote a game that is not a text Adventure (or something that simply prints something) I had a 
lot of fun to make something that interacts in "realtime" (that what you can call realtime in an interpreted basic).
I think that more experienced people, that are 20 years older than me (and with 20 more years experience ;p) would 
be able to make this in fewer lines but I am proud of it because I didn't even believe to finish it when I started 
to work on it.
In general this is an adaption from an XNA game I started years ago but never finished due to critical laziness.
I just change the theme and the name from Hunt4Food to Hunt4Gems. I used the C64 as target platform because this was
my first computer and it will be ever my favorite 8bit platform. 


2. File contents and requirements
=================================

hunt4gems.bas		--> the source code in 10 lines
hunt4gems_nice.bas 	--> the source code in 86 lines aka almost every command in an own line
hunt4gems.prg		--> the executable file

The source code was written via CBM.prg Studio and can be built with it: 	http://www.ajordison.co.uk/
The executable file can be run in VICE: 					http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/


3. The story
============

The master thief Johnny stolen managed to rob the safe of the old rich lady Gloria and steal all her gems.
He escaped by plane but while flying to a lone island the door of the plane opened and all the gems fell out
It's your duty to catch them with a basket and give them back to the old lady.


4. How to play
==============

The game is played via joystick in port 1:

left/right 	control the basket

You have 90 seconds per level to reach the value of gems that the old lady requests.
The points from the last level are kept.

There are 3 kinds of gems that can be collected

emeralds	5 points
rubies		10 points
