# Lode Runner for Roku

Remake of the classsic game Lode Runner (1983) for Roku streaming devices and TVs

## About the Project

I developed this project during the nights and weekends of September/2016, after finishing the port of 

[Prince of Persia for Roku](https://github.com/lvcabral/Prince-of-Persia-Roku) as part of my studies about BrightScript 2D gamming API.

There are six selectable sprite modes from the classic computer ports: 

* Apple II (original version)

* Commodore 64, 

* IBM-DOS CGA, 

* Atari 8 bits

* Sinclair ZX Spectrum 

* NES

**Note:** The sound effects are from the Commodore 64 port.

The player can also select from five different versions of the game (level sets): 

* Classic (150 levels)

* Championship (50 levels)

* Professional (150 levels)

* Revenge (17 levels) 

* LR Fan Book (66 levels).

The level sets, guards AI and some assets were converted from the [Javascript Lode Runner](https://github.com/SimonHung/LodeRunner_TotalRecall) project by Simon Hung.

The also has a **Custom Level Editor** where you can create up to 15 personalized maps.

## How to Play

* You can play the game (on a Chrome based browser) with the **Roku emulator** I also developed, check it at: https://lvcabral.com/brs

* If you have a Roku or Roku TV you can install the game using this link: https://my.roku.com/add/LodeRunnerPreview

* You can also _side load_ the game on you Roku, downloading the [latest release zip](https://github.com/lvcabral/Lode-Runner-Roku/releases) using the developer mode ([click here to see how](https://developer.roku.com/docs/developer-program/getting-started/developer-setup.md)).
