Basic Pascal Version 1.19 “Frozen” – We are unfreezing! It is time to melt and to show what is inside.
Every long winter comes to an end. Freezing process is also going to its end. And starting process defrosting. This is funny! And so long version 1.19 at its final. So, it is time to show this version. There are lots of games here. And most different kind of games. It is start with space theme. Alien invasion. Far space. Future.
It is such a space shmup. It was inspired by sci fi tv series about space. And shooter about a future. Two games this kind. Mainly, my main programming language here – it is QB64 version 2.1. And Free Basic.
Some simple games I have made. About them I think for a long time. Like clone of Amazing Maze. About labyrinth. Like mouse in labyrinth. Or little coin. Like circle. And you need to find exit from labyrinth. As a child games. In a books. And, also, I enough brave to touch theme of dreams. It is text adventures. Long ago theme for me. Two games. Short and long. Long game is about frozen arctic station. Most long development. And by this title this version takes a name. Frozen. Such a winter, snow, ice, blue, long. Such a long waiting when it start to melt. And starts a warm little days as a true things for everyday.
With this version, I have used programming languages – Free Basic + VIM, QB64 and BBC Basic for SDL2.
With this version “Frozen” there are such games.
Free Linear Space
Vi Aliens
B Ball
BC Row
Near the shore
Frozen Arctic Station
Basic Maze
BufColor

Little games like style retro 8 bit BBC Micro. They are two little games about little ball. Pseudo three dimensional ball you throw. And smash the wall. And one more variation even little ball smash opposite it elements. With a colorful solution.
Text quests. Style of MS DOS such text screens to read. So, you read text and get the story next. With some interaction. Magical shoreline. Yellow sand. And sky. Jean. And sci fi action movie as VHS cassette. And it also has walk with the labyrinth with view from the eyes.
Simple games. Labyrinth, Where it is generates and you simply searching the exit. There are different variation of the labyrinth. And a game about how to collect columns with one color. And you collect them with different colors.

Somewhere in the snow. And ice. Whole continent is covered with snow. Where blizzards and hurricanes with the snow. There is station science. And something has happened there. You are most real person, who is in this episode. Little game is something like text quest and retro walking with labyrinths.
This time I do programming. I am working about programming. First time, I left standard problems. Such as collisions with objects. Move player. Which are rather typical. And I can do them much or less. Since 2024. First time – I take development with unknown for me problems. And of course I run into difficulties. How to rotate map. I spent lots of time for this.
And now, I am already doing interface. Labyrinth is reading from file. And can walk with it. And with space you start a menu. With actions. So there, you can take item. You can select item. From what you have in inventory.
Now, I need to finish programming part of gaming systems. And for me it looks more as a problems. But slowly, I have success with one problem after another. Not so fast as I want it. But I have results.
And by now, there is a station in the snow. And it has a critical situation. Maybe it is already snow there, at the station itself, and cold is everywhere. And maybe no. But there are monsters. Withing corridors. And you are worker at this station. And you get up. You lost conscious. Knocked conscious. And now it is empty here.
Withing corridors -it can be monsters. And it rooms – you can perform some actions. Take item or use it, for example.
And game is also made with from the eyes view. As some first – most first three dimensional games. Where you can also walk with cells. Or something this way was a method for move in role playing games. In 80s or 90s. With IBM PC compatible computers. Or with 8 bit computers.
This is like action movie about polar station. Experiments. As a first part for Resident Evil. You are walking the building. And try some rooms. Make some actions. And try to understand what is going on. Or like – the thing (movie). Something strange is happened with distance station.
But with turn based mode. With text insertions. Now, it is already, I understand, how it will work game system. And I do programming for these things. All the game options. And will need to add content. To write story. To create labyrinths. To setup objects. Monsters. To write, code interactions between objects.
So about this freeze it is lots of things to do. Now, for example. There is menu. And there you can take item. And enter the inventory.
