Well, I should not talk about ongoing projects, since they
might not get finished, but...
I have been writing StarMines II. It will be an arcade style
game with similar controls as the original StarMines available
as a demonstration of the Sprite Toolkit. SM II will have
larger than screen playground (1024x1024 pixels) with tiled
background. The basics, like sprite storage, animation,
scrolling, video syncing, keyboard handling and collision
detect are about ready. Missiles, explosions, alien
intelligence, map creation etc. remains to be done.
It will probably be released as Freeware, perhaps even with
source (C/ASM). Timeframe unknown, this is only a hobby
project. If someone is interested in helping, contact me
through e-mail.
(Harware target: 12MHz 286 or better with fast VGA. Current
plans no include sound, I am not an expert on that subject)
