Cat Burglar

Year is 1994, dogs are guards of the cookies these days. Cats are hungrier than ever but those dogs cause one hit death. As a cat stay close to the guard dog in order to multiply your earning while getting your cookie.

Gameplay

• Classic DOS style — Runs in retro-glorious VGA 320×200, palette-based graphics, and crunchy 8-bit sprites.

• Simple controls — Use the arrow keys to move, ESC to quit.

• Collect loot while staying one step ahead of patrolling guards.

• Score multiplier system — The closer you are to danger, the bigger the reward. Shortly; Risk It For The Biscuit!

• High score tracking — Push your limits, beat your own record.

• Quick restart loop — One key press and you’re right back in the action.

Features

• Authentic Mode 13h DOS rendering, double-buffered for smooth animation.

• Title screen, Game Over screen, and in-game HUD all hand-coded from scratch.

• 32 bit DPMI mapped CPU instructions.

• Built entirely in Borland C + TASM, running under PowerPack DPMI extender — a true retro-coding experiment.

Technical Notes

• Written using my MS-DOS VGA engine called CYBERVGA ( check my demo:) ).

• Runs on DOSBox (maybe on real DOS machine).

• Palette files (.pal) and sprite sheets (.raw) are loaded directly at runtime.

• Uses a tiny 3×5 pixel font renderer for all in-game text.

• Uses DOS Extender 32RTM in order to utilize extended RAM.
