Marc Golembeck has released his entry for the Apple II Software Enthusiasts Challenge 2021 programming contest. The program, The Pudding Strikes Back, is a double low resolution graphical shooter game, is appropriately themed for the Christmas 2021. Pudding runs on an enhances Apple IIe, IIc and the IIgs as well as a variety of Apple II Emulators including Applewin and Virtual II.
This is an unusual First Person Shooter game as it features a number of effects not normally seen on the Apple II computer including:
- Steerable crosshair for aiming and firing on objects
- Five different objects to shoot at with varying flight trajectories and velocities
- Points to earn depending on the difficulty to shoot an object
- Pause key option (NSFW!) during timed gaming
- Hi-Score management
- Background scrolling
- MockingBoard PT3-soundtrack (if MockingBoard is installed)
- Lots of pseudo randomness for varying game action
