Welcome to Ye Olde Amiga zone. |
This is a project that I started a couple of years ago.
Originally, the game was going to consist of many more sub-games.
Unfortunately, due to having too many irons in the fire, I never finished
it completely. The game is of an edutainment type theme and
uses various special effects to implement the graphic routines
(Dual playfields, direct copper/blitter programming etc).
The game consists of two sub games that are aimed at a 4-7 year old
audience. As well as giving the game away for FREE I'm also giving
away the source code (and data for compilation) for you budding programmers
out there. The code was written in Amiga E and 68000 assembly. Amiga E
is an excellent language that is similar to both C and BASIC (so non E
users will still find the code useful). To aid understanding the code is
also heavily commented.
This the first program I wrote for the Amiga. Once again it is an educational game which helps kids learn to spell. Unfortunately I can't give this one away free as I have signed a contract allowing F1 LICENCEWARE to sell it for me at £3.99 (cheap at half the price). Instead I've just provided a few screen shots from the game to let you get a feel of it.
This section contains the source code for a few programs/modules written by me in Amiga E. They cover areas such as copper programming, creating dual playfield displays and intuition proportional gadgets.

Please note that I could not provide screenshots of actual game play due to special effects used and also the fact that I remove certain interrupt service routines. This means that the average screen grabber can't function corectly. You can always get hold of a copy of AMIGA FORMAT November 1996 issue 90 which contains several screenshots.
