This is a Boulder Dash style game, tested with the r42 emulator.
Use the arrow keys or joystick to control the player.
Game play. Find the door to the next level within the time allotted, avoiding getting squashed by the boulders, while collecting enough diamonds to open the door.
The original version of Crazy Boulders by Dustan Strakl was programmed in Basic see https://www.8bitcoding.com/p/crazy-boulders.html.
8BitCoding has lots of useful information for people starting out programming the X16.
This C version is an exercise in writing a game in C using the cc65 compiler, the full c source code is available at https://github.com/robr345/CrazyBoulders.
This is my first game, it is also many years since last programming in C, so using Dustan's game design made it easer to concentrate on the coding while learning how game mechanics work.
The excellent libX16.lib by Chris Love provides functions vload and load_file to give the C equivalent of the basic commands VLOAD and LOAD.
