Wizardry - Atari 16bit

Work in Progress WIZARDRY

For Atari 16bit, tested on Atari MEGA STE 4

Coded in GFA BASIC.

After starting to work on an 8-bit version, I decided to tackle the 16-bit adaptation for the Atari STx at the same time.

I might as well take advantage of the data structure I’ve already set up.

The graphical flexibility offered by 16-bit computers makes the project much simpler than the 8-bit version, as does the amount of available RAM.

Dungeon Controls

Movement

• ↑ — Move forward
• ↓ — Move backward
• ← / → — Turn left / right
• X — Turn around (180°)

Interacting with the maze

Spells Available in This Version

Spells are cast by typing their name — nothing lists them for you in-game, you need to have learned them and remember (or read your spellbook at Camp).

Mage Spells

Spell	Level	Where	Effect
Halito	1	Combat	1-8 fire damage to one enemy
Dumapic	1	Camp	Shows your exact position, facing and depth in the maze

Porfic	1	Combat	Protects the caster only, strongly improving their own AC
Matu	2	Combat	Protects the whole party, improving AC further
Dialko	3	Any time	Cures Paralysis or Sleep on one ally

Notes:

• Combat spells can only be cast during a battle and their effect (protection buffs, weakened enemies) lasts only for that fight.
• Any time / Camp spells can be cast from the Camp menu while exploring the dungeon.
• Protection and weakening spells stack — casting the same spell (or several from the same family) more than once in a fight keeps adding up.
