- Note from Sami:
-
- This program originally started out as a quick hack: can we move a line in AMOS
- with a joystick? It has evolved into this. Please feel free to use/improve on
- the source code, it's included so that others may possibly learn from it.
- Please send us any improvements you have made to the code.
- While the source code is freely distributable, it is copyright
- Cybris Design, 1993.

- Notes from Jared:
-
- Since 1982, I've been playing the coin-op version of TRON. This is the
- original coin-op, with the four games (Light Cycles, Tanks/Recognizers,
- MPC Cone, and Grid Bugs).
-
- I've always wanted to see a proper conversion of the Light Cycles game on the
- Amiga (or any computer -- for that matter). This project took a great amount
- thinking, to convert to 680X0, from Z80 code (especially when we couldn't view
- the Z80 code!). I'm very impressed with the original TRON programmers; I'm
- also impressed with Nad and Sami, and their ability to take the verbal and
- drawn logic that I put on paper, and convert it into working code.
-
- I hope you enjoy this.
-
- The source code should be floating around on a BBS near you. Feel free to
- modify or enhance it.
-
- This program was tested on an A500, A2000, A3000, and A4000/030.

- Note from Nadeem:
-
- In case you were wondering, the instructions are:
-
- Survive.
-
- Press fire to accelerate, and point the joystick in the direction you
- want. If you manage to die, check the ** BOTTOM RIGHT ** of the
- screen for a <Play again> message. PS - the "fast" mode is very fast
- on the 68030!
