# Rebelstar Raiders - game source code

Source code for the 1984 ZX Spectrum game _Rebelstar Raiders_, developed by

Red Shift using Sinclair BASIC, with a few small Z80 assembly routines

for dealing with graphics and sound.

[These source files](https://github.com/mrcook/rebelstar-raiders-BASIC)

have been extracted from the original TZX tape files using the `tzxcat` Python

tool, along with a custom script written in the Go language (found in the

[extract-go](https://github.com/mrcook/rebelstar-raiders-BASIC/tree/master/extract-go)

directory), used to format the data and add various comments.

## The Game

_Rebelstar Raiders_ is a two player tactical combat game with three separate

scenarios. Each player controls between twenty and thirty characters with

individual names and characteristics, and armed with various weapons. Each

scenario should take between an hour and two hours to play.

The game manual can be found in the

[docs](https://github.com/mrcook/rebelstar-raiders-BASIC/blob/master/docs)

directory.

## `extract-go` Usage

If you wish to extract the game programs/data from your own set of TZX tape

files, you'll need to have the Go and Python languages installed on your

computer, along with the Python [tzxtools](https://github.com/shred/tzxtools).

Then from the Terminal/Console, run the following command from the same

directory where this `README` is located:

```bash

go run extract-go/main.go

```

_Note: the location of the `tzxcat` command needs to be specified in your `$PATH`_
