The Game
Complica Dx is a board game you can play against the computer or another player, featuring multicolor graphics, AY music and sophisticated A.I.
- Play Complica, the most exciting variant of classic Connect 4!
- Some of the best graphics and songs for the ZX-Spectrum ever! Amazing visual design by Dave "R-Tape" Hughes! Awesome soundtrack by Yerzmyey!
- Customized version of Bitfrost* engine powering graphics and animations in multicolor 8x1, compatible with all official ZX-Spectrum models!
- Huge game content for a ZX-Spectrum game (packing 12K of 100% Assembly code, 61K of standard and multicolor graphics, 12K of AY music) in 48K only!
- The smartest computer opponent ever! Play against Brainiac (TM), an Artificial Intelligence algorithm implemented as recursive Minimax strategy with alpha-beta pruning, highly optimized for Z80 registers allocation, using heuristic evaluation and arbitrary recursion depth, multi-tasked in background from machine state controlled multicolor animated graphics... Yes, the A.I. really is as strong as it sounds!
- Full source code available!
