HeartQuest is the biggest demo in SAT. This obviously makes it hardest to grasp, but it includes a bunch of useful routines that you may need, including:
• Menu and window handling, using the TransSkel package.
• A score and level display, updated using SAT's background modification functions.
• High score list.
• Crystal Quest-style mouse control using fixed-point numbers. (Note: never use floating point in an arcade game!)
• Optionally zooms to fill the entire screen (though the sprites stay the same size).
• Dithered background generated on-line by QuickDraw calls.
• Preference file in the appropriate place in the system folder.
• Uses SATSetStrings to make it possible to localize without recompiling.
Please note that this is an old game that I wrote five years ago. Much of my coding style has changed, which is evident from the parts I have updated more recently. Sorry, but I donät have time for the complete rewrite it would take to clean it up. The dialog centering code is pretty obsolete by now; it is better to do it with the options in ResEdit.
There is no C version yet. Any volounteers?
Binary not included, since it will be distributed separately.
