Following the success of the updated version of [[qlwiki:dday|D-Day]], [[qlwiki:CGH Services]] asked [[qlwiki:Rich Mellor]] to look at this program with a view to eradicate bugs and improve the game, as well as converting it to run from disk. As with [[qlwiki:dday mkii|D-Day MKII]], the original SuperBASIC code was completely re-written to make it modular and to merge the three original scenarios so that the game formed a single narrative, and decisions you make in the earlier scenarios can affect the outcome of the later scenarios. The speed of game play was again radically increased by creating hand written 68000 machine code routines to smooth (and speed up) the panning and scrolling of the huge screen; along with compiling the program with the [[qlwiki:Turbo]] BASIC Compiler. The RWAP Software version has the following improvements over the original version: * Correction to bugs in the game * Correction to routine used for display of fonts, so that it worked on all QLs * Improvements to speed of play (including compiling the game with [[qlwiki:Turbo]] and custom scrolling routines) * Addition of 2 player and postal games * Changed to work from disk * Ability to continue playing the next module from the end point of the previous module - making for longer term strategic planning. * Improved computer intelligence For more details on the game see [[qlwiki:war_in_the_east|War in the East]] ---- {{qlwiki:wite.gif?direct&240x120 |Screenshot of Sinclair QL War in the East MKII}}\\ Title: **War in the East MKII**\\ Language: Written in [[qlwiki:SuperBASIC]] and compiled with [[qlwiki:Turbo]] and some 68000 machine code\\ Author: Mark Stueber and [[qlwiki:Rich Mellor]]\\ Publisher: [[qlwiki:RWAP Software]]\\ Year of Publication: 1990\\ Platforms Suitable for: All Sinclair QLs and emulators, although not SMSQ/e compatible\\ Commercial Status: Commercial\\ Price as at June 1990: £10\\ Reviews: Unknown\\ Sources Available from: n/a\\ Latest Version available from: [[http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk/wargames.html|RWAP Software website]] qlwiki/war_in_the_east_mkii.txt Last modified: 2023/08/25 12:21by 127.0.0.1
