I’m very glad to see there is an official warm up :-D! This looks like great fun. As it happens, I have already written a clone of the classic game Repton 3 as my warm up. I am currently polishing off the details of the game (GUI, neatening source code etc). Once all that is done, I shall post it to the warm ups page. If you haven’t played Repton before you simply must give it a go! The game is older than me (it is 26 years old, I am 22), and is still by far better than the vast majority of games on the market today.

My dad meticulously documented all of the maps from all Repton 3 games when he played the original game so that he may remake the game later. Since then he has remade the game twice (as various technologies have died. Specifically the BBC micro and DOS). Hence I shall post all of the map files along with the game. I won’t have the original artwork, though. I should be able to use the music from Repton 3. I ultimately aim for something as close to the original as I can get.
