self made amiga game in development stage (spacewar clone)

[Martiiin2008]

Great music... can I download it? :-)

[Szeki28]

Not bad not bad!!!!!

Assembly forever!



[DevilMaster]

This looks like something one would code in AMOS in an afternoon, or in a weekend at most ;-)

[SamusDrake]

I'm about to be come the owner of a second hand AMIGA 500!

Although I know it includes AMOS for programming, I don't know if it has an Assembler built in, too. Can any one confirm this for me?

Awesome video btw!

[nicholasthetaylor]

@SamusDrake You need to buy an assembler to compile assembly code. Look for Devpac. That's the best one.

[SamusDrake]

@nicholasthetaylor

Cheers! ^_^

[nicholasthetaylor]

@SamusDrake No probs. If you look on the net, tutorials do exist, including sourcecode to various old school demos. The reason I mention Devpac is 'cos the top Amiga games were written using it. You're in for a difficult at first, but eventually very rewarding time. If you understand C, Pascal, Lingo, BASIC or any imperitive style code (List of instructions with moveable instruction pointer) then you'll have little trouble learning assembler. Biggest problem will be getting to know the hardware

@nicholasthetaylor

Once again, I must thank you. I know a bit of C, C++, Basic and Java, and hope to do a future Open University course in Assembly language.

Its really a case of seeing how I measure up to the "classically trained" programmers of yesterday, and of course expanding my programming skill. How the pros got so much out of limited hardware makes me feel sloppy in comparison!

[JeDorsBeaucoupTrop]

Interesting, but you definitely need a good graphic designer.

[nitturo]

@JeDorsBeaucoupTrop - as graphic designer, i like the visual simplicity of the game - but otherwise i can imagine some backgrounds can disturb the gameplay, maybe because we may need some more visual contrast between sprites and background - sometimes the background dittering noise can be more eye-catching than the sprites themselves

[deamiel]

Great work!

[faaret]

looks really good and fast, nice, please release it in some form :) Maybe you'd be interested in the 96k game compo at BreakPoint?

[nitturo]

@faaret yes, it's awesome to know there are still people coding in asm on Amiga! :)

[RJLeffmann]

Sweet. I always wanted to write a game for the Amiga myself but always canned the ones I started on.

The tune is a nice remake of the one found in the classic Paranoimia cracktros, where did you get it from?

[scriptmasterGD]

Impressive!

[alex76gr]

Do you intend to release it ?

[geldo79]

Well, when it's finished, it will certainly be available somewhere on the net. I will post the link here I think. But there's still some work to do and I do not not have so much time for programming....

[leondustar]

wow smooth stuff!

[nitturo]

@leondustar yes, very surprising! i loved it! :)

[Testaware]

Really cool, hope you'll final it...!

[vagosgta3]

Very GOOD!!! nice work!

[wabeti]

Wow! It Looks awesome!
