10 years later, great to discover this. Any chance of making a one-switch / one-key version, as with the original? Great little game, and so unique in the one-switch field.
Unfortunately it would be a problematic because of extra features I added, but also because the Monkey programming language this was made in, is not supported anymore. So it is a bit out of reach for me at this point. Still I want to thank you for your comment. The original Wizard Battle I wrote in 2004 so that is almost 20 years ago now!
Fair enough. I thought it unlikely, but worth a punt. Time flies! Do you remember much about that Blitz Coder competition in 2004? How was it first made known do you know? Any idea if anyone won it?
That's a really handy link. Thanks for that Foppygames. Appreciated. Turned this 2003 competition one-button up too: https://web.archive.org/web/20041020195436/http://forum.qbasicnews.com/viewtopic... - I wonder if there was no prize ever awarded though for the 2004 Blitzcoder compo. I assume "Specis" is not OddBob from RetroRemakes, although looks a bit similar.

Based on your link I did some searching and it was announced on the Blitzcoder website:

At the end of that thread (2nd page) the contestants were waiting for the results of the competition. I don't remember there being an actual result! :)

Indeed they are two different persons.
is the source included on github? wondering how you do the sprite effect!~
Sorry, the code is not on Github. It is also a bit old (2012). Which effect do you mean? Maybe I can explain. :)
Nice concept! Really enjoyed it!
