8bitDave's own repo for BASIC vs C: RPG

This is my repository for Amstrad GameDev Challenge.

Here I will (trying to) follow up the challenge, code my own game and learn a lot, Git included.

My BASIC is as rusty as my C, so I want to do both projects and learn. Hope I'll have the time to do so.

My background: 20 years ago I got my Senior Technician (Técnico Superior) on App Development and after that I dropped off university (UPV) before getting my grade. Now I'm part-time a Filemaker database freelance developer and part-time a teacher of CAD software for garment industry and fashion designers.

+ Reference materials:

• I find this AMSTRAD BASIC manual interesting
• Also, I always go to Locomotive BASIC online reference on CPCWiki

My system:

• macOS Mojave, if I keep myself busy with this challenge, I won't install Catalina betas, but sure I will install it when gold.
• Homebrew installed, with g++, bison, flex and all needed stuff to run CPCtelera.
• Also Wine installed with 64bit version.
• CPCtelera stable version, with some modifications ↓↓↓.

Some changes I've made in my installation:

• Put cpct_rvm script in cpctelera/tools/scripts from 1.5 WIP to run Retro Virtual Machine.
• Modified the app bundle of Retro Virtual Machine 2 to get the sript recognize the path. I named the bundle just rvm2 and the binary inside /Contents/MacOS/ also rvm2. If anyone knows a more 'elgant' way, I'm open to hear.
• In cpct_winape script, modified wine to run wine64 and get rid of that Mojave message about 32bit apps. Also to be prepared for Catalina.

Below you'll find basic challenge info:
