8BP (8 bits of power) is a library composed of several [[RSX]] commands for creating games using Amstrad BASIC and C
'''====Description'''====
------------------
8BP allows BASIC programmers to create platform games, arcade, etc without the need of compiling. Games run on top of BASIC interpreter.

'''====Main features:'''====
-----------------
* 32 sprites with clipping, overwrite, ordering (4 order types) and collision detection (mode 0 and mode 1)
* multi-directional scroll (based in command MAP2SP)
* allows in-game music based on WYZtracker 2.0.1.0 tool (command MUSIC) and allows simultaneous MUSIC with FX channel and SOUND commands
* layout ( which is a kind of "tile map"), for maze style games (like Pacman) with collision detection.
* only takes around 8 KB, leaving up to 25 KB for BASIC programs. 8BP reserves 8KB for sprites and 1.5KB for music, but your BASIC program can have up to 25 KB length
* STARS command for sand effects, rain, snow and stars planes.
8BP is always under development, but new versions always are backward compatible. The current version is V42
