- Merry Christmas everyone! Asteriods (sic) is my Christmas gift to the
- Amiga community, I hope you all like it. Asteriods is Giftware, feel free
- to give it to whomever you please but charge no more than the value of the
- media plus your copying time if you charge anything at all.
-
- Asteriods loads all of its images from a single IFF/ILBM file called
- "template.ilbm". If you don't like any or all of the shapes of the
- asteroids or ships just edit this file. The images must remain the
- same size as before and be roughly circular (collision detection is
- based on circular objects). Sounds are loaded from a set of IFF/8SVX
- sound files which you can also change to your liking. Imagine the
- Vincent Price laugh instead of an explosion when you die! The files
- are:
-
- crash.snd -- played when you are killed
- fire.snd -- played when you fire a shot
- cheer.snd -- played when you get a free man
- thrust.snd -- played when you press the thrust key
- boing.snd -- played when the alien fires a shot
- alarm.snd -- played when the alien appears
- break.snd -- played when an asteroid is broken
-
- Playing instructions & other info are available from with the program,
- briefly use Z & X to rotate, . to thrust, / to fire and space for
- hyperspace. (Surviving hyperspace is a really healthy thing for your
- game situation but you've only got a 50% chance of doing it).
-
- If you've got Blitzfonts, run that first --- it makes a difference
- on the higher levels.
-
- Source will be released as soon as I clean it up enough that I'm not
- ashamed of it :-)
-
- Hope you like
