Basic Pascal version 1.21 "Sand Road" – mods!

 

Crest and Shooting Mod X. This is the very first modification. This game opens the modifications section. The mods folder has been created. This game and other modifications should be found in the mods folder.

A turn-based tactical game. Cover and shooting. You emerge from cover and shoot at the enemy. The enemy does the same.

The game's core is the same as the original. It just has a few new features. These are effects. Some are purely visual, while others affect gameplay. This is a visual choice of cover. As the game's title suggests, there are tank crosses here. That's why they're available. Double, triple. Just the letter X drawn multiple times.

Also concrete, a square like this. A brick wall. A square with a pattern. And a house. This is a wall with a pattern and a window opening. This is an external visual choice. And a choice of weather. This is rain. Snow. Small, medium, or large. This is a visual effect. A static image of stripes or stars symbolizing snow and rain.

There's also fog. It's also small, medium, or large. There will be horizontal stripes on the other half of the screen—where the enemy is. And the option of pitch black or long range. This affects gameplay. You can't see the enemy. It's either very dark or very far away. You only see the bullets fired by the enemy.

 The initial idea for the modification was to use the long range or pitch black mode. The menu has also changed a bit. The title screen, but not much.

 

Fish Arcade Extreme Mod. Another modification. This one revolves around line of sight. Gameplay has been sped up. And the line of sight is constantly decreasing. You swim like a fish. And dodge rocks. It's still the same game. But there's a line of sight. And as you level up, it gets smaller. So, the game has become more dynamic. And a life bar has appeared.

The first level is similar to everything before. And during the first half of the game, the line of sight decreases as you level up. Little by little. At first, it's unnoticeable. But starting in the second half, you only see half the screen. And you have to react a little faster.

A nice game about a fish. I also changed the story. There's a bit of text here. And the main menu background. You just use the arrow keys to move. Only up and down. And you move within a narrow plane. And avoid the black rectangles—rocks.

The fish swim everywhere. In the ocean and the river. In the pond and the lake. In dark water and clear water. Otherwise, it's the same game as before. About a fish that swims and swims. Still, the dynamics have increased. But again, not by much. This is where the limitations of the Graph module come into play. For Turbo Pascal or Free Pascal. 

The Graph module is perfectly suitable for graphics, but more static ones. You can draw and color beautiful graphs. That's true. But full 60 frames per second gameplay will flicker the screen a lot. I deduced this from my attempts to do something about it.

And so the happy fish swims somewhere further! And you have 10 lives. The stripe at the bottom is like this. Bright green. Or blue. Such a bright color. A bright toy about a fish.
