Title: [JavaScript] Rock N' Roll Racing
Post by: combatking0 on May 14, 2013
Many of us may remember this classic from the 16-bit era, and I have recently started playing it again, but...

I have seen posts around the internets referring to a QBASIC password generator for this game. I've downloaded the generator, but what I'm interested in is the source code for it, as I can't find it anywhere.

Has anybody here downloaded this in the past? If so, please share it with me, as it would be interesting to port it to JavaScript.

Although, reverse engineering it would also be interesting.

K++ Perfect! Just what I was looking for.

No worries. Maybe you could move the thread to a search engine -indexable forum? It might help somebody somewhere sometime and that's what we're all about, I guess.

I'll give it a go - since this is a JavaScript project, it could go into Other Languages.

Cheers. Keep us updated on your port.

Here's a rough cut - I've upgraded it from a command line tool to a simple GUI with compatability for 2 players.

I plan to jazz it up a little and remove the unused / glitch inducing options, but it does seem to be working.

When it's finished I'll host it live.

(edit) It's now live here:

I still need to dress it up, but regular players will know how to use it.
