- Senseless Violence DEMO
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- By Cas Prince © 1993
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
-
- SV has been totally ripped off of Extreme Violence, written by my good
- friend and comrade Si Green (if you haven't got Extreme Violence, you
- haven't lived. It is a hallmark of gameplay etc. etc.). Therefore the
- most part of the credit actually goes to Si for this one, since it's
- basically his idea :-)
-
- SV is however vastly improved, running twice as fast. There are now nice
- graphics and many extra powerups, and the keyboard controls actually work
- properly (which they didn't in EV_7.2).
-
- Note that SV was written in Amos1.35 and compiled. It took about 4 weeks
- to write to its current state of near-perfection (it could be more perfect
- but then so could everything, could't it?). It's about 2100 lines of code.
-
-
- What Do I Need To Run SVDemo?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- You need the following files:
-
- SVDEMO
- SV.CONFIGURATION
- LIBS/ (dir)
- MATHTRANS.LIBRARY (AMOS is a little wierd, isn't it?)
- DISKFONT.LIBRARY
- FONTS/ (dir)
- MICROSCOPIC/ (dir)
- 5
- DEFENDER/ (dir)
- 8
- MICROSCOPIC.FONT
- DEFENDER.FONT
-
- It will run on ANY Amiga (I hope). Make sure you boot off a disk with the
- relevant libs and fonts, or it just won't work. You may find that on
- machines with only 0.5Mb chip RAM will need external disk drives removing
- etc. because of memory limitations.
-
-
- The Title Screen Options
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- F1 - Joystick or Keyboard controls (red player)
-
-
-
- How To Play
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Kill the other player. I mean, it's not difficult is it? There are
- powerups to collect. Rather than detail them, I think I would rather let
- you find out for yourselves. For those without joysticks, the keys are:
-
- W
- A S RSHIFT to fire
- Z
-
-
- Help! I'm Stuck!
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- If you get stuck so that neither player can kill each other for some
- reason, then tap the HELP key to regenerate a new arena.
-
- To quit the game, use ESC. To quit back to Workbench, use ESC as well, or
- you can use CTRL-C. Left Amiga-A will flip back to the Workbench as well
- (if it is open; by default, the disk will boot up and switch off the
- Workbench screen to get some extra Chip ram).
-
-
- What's In The Full Game?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Should you decide that SV is worth a fiver, then you'll get the following
- features:
-
- * 7 extra powerups (fun ones, too)
- * option to play against a human opponent (the whole point of it)
- * arena designer (may amuse you for a while)
- * select which powerups you want to be available
- * multi-point games (up to 25)
- * option to change how many bullets are used (obscure)
- * the source code and associated files! (FREE!)
- * a demo of XAP (my other game) if you want it
-
