CGA Robots

The robot insurrection never ends! Caught in a space station where the robots have taken over, you have to survive for as long as possible. The robots will relentlessly pursue you, but there is a way to beat them. These droids are stupid, and in their headlong rush to reach you they will bash into one another, making a mess of their internals and externals. By this means you can make them destroy themselves.

Use the cursor keys on the numeric keypad to control your character. Alternatively use Q,W,E,D,V,C,Z,A for 8-directional control (S also moves down, for WASD fans), if you don't have a numeric keypad. The space bar will teleport you to a random location if you end up being cornered. But it comes at a cost: you will spend half of your accumulated score to escape, and you may just exchange one danger for another. Any other key will stand still and let the robots advance.

This is a modified version of the demonstration game supplied with the CGALIB graphics library, and was created for the DOS COM Game Jam. To fit within the rules of the jam, it's supplied as a single DOS .COM file. All graphics and fonts are included in the .COM file, rather than in external asset files as in the original CGALIB demonstration game. Only one feature was added: the alphabetic movement keys for keyboards without a numeric keypad.
