Chuckie Eggs was one of my favorite games when I was
a kid. I used to play it on my first ZX-Spectrum, later on C-64 as
well. On ZX-Spectrum there was a sequel entitled Chuckie Eggs 2 which ´
is a great game too. Once I learned enough about programming the VGA
card, I started to develop this game. Though the drawing methods and
the way I refresh the screen is not the best, the game works fine even
on a historic 486 machine. It works with Windows XP too, but I do
not recommend it, because the timing won't be perfect. Instead, use
the well known DOSBOX to execute this game.
You can download the complete source code for the game and for
the level editor. Both are written in Borland Pascal 7.0. I used
the assembly and the pascal language mixed. Some comments in the
source will be Hungarian, others are English. Sorry about that. I
am too lazy to do all the translations. Anyway, if you want to learn
something about the VGA programming, especially about the MODEX video
modes, this game is a good reference for you. Have fun!
