Another Code the Classics Game Conversion: Cavern

Next to the game Infinite Bunner from the book “Code the Classics” – as published by the Raspberry Pi Organization – also the game Cavern has been converted to RISC OS BBC Basic. Cavern is a modern take on the game of Bubble Bobble.

The game is available as a free download from the PlingStore.

Cavern is a platformer type of game whereby you try and trap robots. You do this by blowing orbs towards them. Robots trapped by an orb will float inside the orb to the top of the screen and pop/dissapear. Try and defeat all robots this way to progress to the next level. Bonuses will appear at random on the screen. Pick them up for a few extra points. Be quick though because they do disappear. Orbs with trapped enemies that pop will give extra bonuses.

Features:
- 2D game
- Levels are being generated with an increasing number of enemies
- 800 by 600 resolution and 256 colour graphics
- In game music and sound FX
- High-score list

Compatibility:
The game has been tested on Raspberry Pi 2B/4/400 and RPCEMU 0.9.3 with RISC OS 5.28/9. Being an AMCOG Development Kit game the game is expected to run on other RISC OS 5 platforms as well, but this has not yet been tested. On Raspberry Pi the following controllers are supported:
- SNES
- XBOX 360

It works with the ARMX6

Thank you kindly Kevin, once again ;-) and good to hear. I’ve updated the !Store information that it runs on ARMX6 as well

Thank you for another nice conversion it seems to work fine on the Titanium.
