Manic Jet Set Willy.

V1.05

Mistake wise just two bytes difference from V1.04 (order swapped)

However the attic bug was just one bit.

Thank you. 🙂

I was going to replay it, but upon thought I'd rather leave it a day or so, to give others the opportunity to create their own .rzx

Failing that I'll do a recording of it on the 26th all being well.

Cheat for Manic Jet Set Willy is.

Same room as original and on the same lower floor.

The code is time sensitive and pressure sensitive.

It must all be typed in within 10 seconds.

There must be No keyboard roll over. e.g. do not press any key for longer than needed.

You must not pause. The cheat has a timing loop and changes in tempo will abort the input.

The clock must be before 11:00 am and after 7:07am.

No objects can be collected.

There must not be a high score.

The tune must be off.

The speed must be set at full speed.

You must wear a mask, and take all the necessary Covid precautions.

Sterilise the keyboard before usage to stop program code bugs. 

Your socks must match, absence of socks or mismatch of socks will abort cheat.

;----------------------------

The cheat is "Hero Joker Kilt" - it can be typed out as I have listed it here. The only restriction when typing the spaces, is Willy must be on the floor when each letter is typed. In short form do not type the spaces and just type away  "HeroJokerKilt".

cheat as usual is 9+ <123456> 
A copyright symbol will be on the screen at the next room change. 

Illegal rooms such as room 61/62/63 will be ignored the old "[" room will also be ignored.

Not a spectacular or updated cheat - Squashing it into the game was the objective

No cheat in Manic Miner

No cheat available in auto game play modes. (final toilet dash etc)

Hopefully another game I can forget about soon.

Thanks again Norman.

I've just replayed it. I took a different route in JSW and also played the MM caverns slightly differently too.

All good.

Final score : £0040426130

A huge congratulations.

So it is completable... Yehhh.

As I was increasing bonuses here and there I was starting to wonder if it would manage to overflow the score. Which is why the score field is so big.

Kong / Skylab / Eugene were written from scratch.

Thank you. 🙂

Other players could take a more efficient route however I did not take such an extended tour so much in JSW this time, I passed via The Attic twice instead of three times, taking the floor then the top for variety.

I did note the nicer effects on those special screens, Skylabs especially actually. 🙂

I do think this is well worthy of submitting to the Downloads section please, along with a short description (copy/paste really from the topic) of the control keys that are not 'standard' i.e. the speed option.

If I had to say anything negative it would simply be:

Spoiler

A quick loading screen would be nice, even if it was just a copy of the title screen or even just the "block" letters.

Primary objective was, can I compress Jet Set Willy enough to also fit Manic Miner into the same 48k.  The short answer is YES.

=====================================

Intrepid explorer, mega socialite Willy has had a party to celebrate his social standings and his retirement from work (Not that Willy ever had a recognised occupation) . The party as usual got out of hand. Maria is yet again refusing to lift a finger to tidy up. And as luck has it, the mess of bottles, glasses and various objects are scattered in pretty much the same places as of old. The only twist is that now simple economics are being exercised on his petty cash. Time takes cash to cover simple and everyday running costs.

Oh and this quest needs the full Jet Set Willy, followed by Manic Miner as well - as simple as a walk in the park for WILLY intrepid explorer and socialite.

The rewards are plenty.

=====================================

Keyboard keys that are different from the standard game

While the demo screens are being displayed- pressing any key from

• <YUIOP> will pause the display untill the key is released.

On the title screen / demo screens or scrolling message. Pressing

• <ENTER> will start the full game ( Jet Set Willy + Manic Miner ). You start in the Willy Mansion.

On the title screen whilst the music is playing pressing any key from

• <HJKL> will start the game, playing only the Manic Miner Screens (no end game if this short cut is taken)

keyboard game keys 

• <ENTER> will toggle the sound on and off.
•  <H> will increase the music speed and game speed.
• <J> will decrease the music speed and game speed. 
• <ASDFG> will display the high score and also pause

Normal keyboard game keys

• <QETUO> move left
• <WRYIP> move right
• <ZXCVBNM><space> JUMP
• <ASDFG> pause - any other key to unpause

Cheat code

Spoiler

Cheat code is "HeroJokerKilt"

Cheat position is lower platform in the "first Landing"

Cheat keys 

<9> the activator + combinations from

<123456>
Rooms 61,62,62 and "[" will be ignored
No cheat usage in the Final toilet run
No cheat usage in any part of Manic Miner

=====================================

Technical changes.

Compaction of two games to fit into 48k

• Full Jet Set Willy Game with 60 screens
• Full Manic Miner game with 20 screens.
• Scrolling demo mode
• Variable game speed
• removal of raster sprite break up
• Runs at a Far higher speed.
• Manic Miner now has object sound collection
• Manic Miner has Solar Power sound on contact, and beam turning red
• The above is some of the noticable changes. The code has a great deal of un-noticable changes in program flow and logic.

=====================================

Thanks 🙂 Just seems a bit more 'complete' with a loading screen somehow! Perhaps that is just me.

[Spider]

To add to Norman's stats:

Via 'tapir' the loading times are:

3m 16s for 'mjsw v1-05.tap'

3m 57s for 'mjsw v1-05a.tap'

I was going to suggest with my trickery (for my own curiosity) not for distribution without permission I may be able to get that down to a fair bit less however initial tests show I can only really compress it down to about 28(ish) KB , so even with a 4K loader (about the max you'll sanely get to work) you'd be looking about 1.5 to 2 minutes loading time at a guess.

I've added a mp4 video (it was a huge 895mb .avi before I converted it) to the post above with my .rzx in, although relatively large for an attachment here at nearly 48Mb

Tt is quite good quality and its potentially longer than it could be as I let it run through the demo screens afterwards too, however for quickly checking a certain section of the gameplay its useful as you cannot 'fast forward' or 'fast rewind' an .rzx 🙂
