# Sir Lancelot (z88 version)

This project contains the source code for the z88 port of the

ZX Spectrum game Sir Lancelot.

## Compilation

To compile you'll need a modern version of z88dk setup and

available in the path. The application can then be generated

by invoking `make`.

## Background

The source code is pretty much as it was when released in 1998, so 

contains (amongst other things):

- Wonky whitespace

- Commented out code

- Cryptic labels

- Development comments/queries from the disassembly

- False comments

The following changes have been made:

- Update to assemble with the version of z80asm within z88dk

- Updates to remove old email addresses

As a result, the version has been bumped.

## In-game Controls

The preset keys are:

* Left    - O

* Right   - P

* Jump    - Space

* Pause   - H

These movement keys can be redefined to suit your playing style/hand size!

There is also a set of control keys which cannot be redefined:

* ESC     - Quit back to intro from game

* TAB     - Toggle screen size - mini/standard

* DEL     - Toggle inverse background

Sir Lancelot is quite a noisy game, with music and sound effects, these

may be toggled on or off by using the Sound setting from the panel - this

can be set at anytime and it will be immediately obeyed.
