Thanks to three big fudebas from the brazilian mail-list, FRS , Adriano and Daniel Caetano, now I have working mouse routines, which can correctly detect if your MSX has or not a mouse... but strangely it still works only on emulators, on real msx the mouse just won't move...

 
 


30, January, 2004
New screenshots online! One of them showing the criminal profiles, which is completely done! Now only missing the jail sound fx, the hall of fame and the mouse bug =P

More time passed, but finally I have mapped all the flight times between all cities. A hell of a job! It's nothing less than 30 cities that can connect to each one on a random basis... now the game needs the sound fx of a "closing jail door", to implement the hall of fame and the criminal profiles, and to fix a mouse bug - on the real machine the mouse is not detected, but on all emulators they are... the biggest problem with this is that I don't own a MSX mouse... so it will be very hard to figure out what's wrong with this =(

 
 


23, November, 2003
After a looong time, I finally hammered some nasty bugs that were preventing the game to be completed. Just a couple more of bugs to go, one sound fx and some tweaking and the game will be ready.

 
 


17, September, 2003
Animations when you arrive to a city where the thief is, fully implemented! Also implemented the music played at the same time ;)

 
 


15, September, 2003
Witnesses fully implemented!
What's still have to be done in the 5.7kb I sill (miraculously) have left:
    * Implement the time between cities
    * read/write detectives from disc/hall of fame
    * animations when you arrive to a city where the thief
       is/was
    * musics (convert them and how to play them)

 
 


14, September, 2003
Watch out! The thief is in the game!
You can now chase the thief, and the witnesses actually help you! But they still have to give you hints about the thief's appearance...
Still lots to be done, but only 5.7kb free... and MSX-Rio will be in 13 days!

 
 


12, September, 2003
The game now asks your name ^_^.
Also, fixed a couple of bugs with the witnesses and freed a little bit of memory in the process.

 
 


24, June, 2003
Some screenshots on the site.
The texts for witnesses are more correct now. Still getting tips where the thief are from the original game, and trying to figure out the time table and the tips on the thief looks.

 
 


12, May, 2003
You can sleep now, and also the printers head follows the text being printed.
