My name Chris Perver and I am from Northern Ireland. My first Amstrad was a CPC 464, a Christmas present from my parents around the year 1987. I really enjoyed playing the [[Amsoft]] games the machine was bundled with, as well as typing in the many example programs contained in the manual. I bought a 464+ in the nineties, unfortunately after the machine had already flopped. I always had a great interest in programming, and reminiscing about my childhood days, decided to teach myself Z80 assembly. Using [[WinAPE]]'s built-in assembler, and following examples from [https://www.chibiakumas.com/z80/AmstradCPC.php ChibiAkumas] and other websites, I gradually learned how to code in assembly. I had a desire to create an open world game, using procedural generation, and so began programming my first assembly game [[Mimo's Quest]]. Although development on this has paused. I have also upgraded some of my favourite childhood games by disassembling them and redeveloping them for the Plus. Hence the name 'CPSoft', as this was the shortest name that could fit into the Harrier Attack scoreboard! I am currently working on an 'arcade perfect' conversion of [[Qbert|Q*bert]] and hope to develop other games when this project is completed. I would heartily recommend anyone learning Z80 assembly!

== Games ==

[[Mimo's Quest]] - Development paused
[[Harrier Attack Reloaded]] - An adaption of [[Harrier Attack]] for the Plus range
[[Oh Mummy Resurrected]] - An adaption of [[Oh Mummy]] for the Plus range
[[Qbert|Q*bert]] - Currently in development

Source code for some of my games is available on [https://github.com/chrisperver GitHub].
You can also visit my own website [https://www.mimosquest.com Mimo's Quest].
