FX-Repton is a game that replicates Repton 3 and is portable, meaning it can be played on various devices.
The FX-Repton project is a portable version of the classic game, Repton 3. It is built using the portable FOX Toolkit library and is available for both UNIX and Windows. Originally produced for the BBC Micro, Repton 3 was the third hit game in the Repton series from Superior Software.
The game's objective is to collect all of the diamonds while avoiding obstacles and enemies. In some episodes, the objects may vary. The player must also grab the bomb before time runs out. The game is simple to play, requiring only the arrow keys for movement.
Users can easily restart a level using the F2 key, pause the game with P, minimize it with ESC, or quit with Alt-X. Additional key bindings are available for movement: Up, Down, Left, and Right.
If players need help, they can find descriptions of objects in the Legend Window from the Help ? menu, or get tips on gameplay in the Map Window. Once levels are completed, users are encouraged to annotate the password.
Players can also customize their gameplay experience by changing the graphics. If they do not like the graphics in a certain episode, or are more comfortable with another scheme, they can switch it up easily by selecting the graphics from another episode while holding down the SHIFT key.
Requirements for the game include the FOX Toolkit library version 1.0.28. This new release of FX-Repton includes a not-yet-finished level editor, the ability to load graphics from another episode, a revamped sound and animation for when Repton dies, updated documentation, minor fixes to the user interface, and bug fixes.
Overall, FX-Repton is a solid and enjoyable game, ideal for those who appreciate classic arcade-style gameplay. With its easy-to-use interface and customizable graphics, it offers a fun gaming experience that can be enjoyed on a variety of devices.
