Sabotage is a conversion of the classic Apple II game with same name. Sabotage requires BasiCE to work. Read all the text for details. Although it's basically the same game it's controls are slightly different than the original.

ATTENTION! This game was developed and tested using Windows CE version 1.0 and a Cassiopeia A-11. In tests with Windows CE 2.0 the game screen appeared jammed, but the game still playable.

Instead of the point-and-shot style you should control your cannon using the numeric keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Each of them will shot in a different direction as shown. Its much more practical when using a small HPC keyboard.

Press P to pause and Backspace to finish the game. Press Backspace again to quit.

Sabotage was developed using the BasiCE language, and typed in directly at my Cassiopeia's keyboard. What a masochism, eh?

As it's interpreted Basic, the source code is the program itself. Most of the routines were written in a weird way in order to improve the overall speed of the game. Don't blame me, it's Basic.

I'd rather make games in C but I cannot afford the Microsoft C++ cost. Take a look on my PC game written in C called Back to the Moon.

Sabotage requires that you have a copy of BasiCE properly installed in your HPC. Follow the instructions in the BasiCE documentation to install it correctly.

BasiCE was developed by Dean Gienger deang@usa.net. It's a full implementation of the BASIC language for Microsoft Windows CE. BasiCE features include support for floating point, long variable names, procedures, functions, a user extensible run time extension library, and the ability to draw graphics.
Sabotage shows some of its versatility.
