Short: Space shooter for 3D graphics card and PPC
Author: MarginallySinister(TimHanson)msinister@connectfree.co.uk
Uploader:MarginallySinister(TimHanson)msinister@connectfree.co.uk
Type: game/shoot
Requires:WarpOS PPC Warp3D 3DGfxCard CyberGfx lowlevel.library AHI
(recommended: Joypad)
S P A C E
-----------
Space is a 3D shoot-em-up for high end Amigas. Minimum spec is a 603e@160Mhz
and CyberVision3D/64. Cyber/BlizzardVisionPPC is highly recommended as is a
faster proccessor.
Installation
------------
You will need a fully working Warp3D installation. This can be found at:
ftp://ftp.haage-partner.com/3DWorld/Warp3D/
and a fully working WarpOS installation from:
ftp://ftp.haage-partner.com/WarpUP/
Please try to get the demos of these running before reporting bugs to me.
Read the docs carefully but if you have any problems feel free to contact me.
The game can be unarchived to wherever is convienient.
Starting
--------
To run the game simply double click the icon or open a shell and CD to the
'Space' drawer and type 'space.wos'.
Prefs
-----
When starting for the first time space will request the following:
Sound : I recommend you use AHI here as the Direct Paula Hack is buggy.
If you do not have AHI or have problems you can use the Direct
Paula Hack
Conrol: I recommend you use JoyPad here as the game is much more difficult
with keyboard control. If you don`t have a joypad the keys may be
user defined. Any combination of keys is possible but you will have
to experiment on your setup to find which work. On my Power Tower
certain keys jam one another.
Display:I recommend sticking to the 15Bit modes. The 16 and 24 bit modes
look no different and are slightly slower. On my 603e@160Mhz
BVisionPPC 640x480 is fast enough. 320x240 is UGLY. If you have a
faster proccesor try higher resolutions.
If you need to change these prefs after running for the first time you will
have to delete 'sound.prefs', 'control.prefs' or 'display.prefs' from the
'space' drawer.
Menus
-----
You can left mouse click through the demo and explainations. The load/save
menu is controlled with joypad. I`ll add keyboard control soon.
Remember to read the mission descriptions before entering battle.
Playing
-------
For joypad the controls are as follows:
Roll left/right
Climb/Dive down/up
Accelarate right wing button
Deccelarate left wing button
Fire Lazer Red
Select Target Green
Fire Missile Blue
ECM Yellow
Cockpit indicators:
Shield ----------
Lazer Temperature / \
Remaining Missiles [ RADAR ]
Speed \ /
---------- TYPE OF SHIP TARGETED
ATM the game is at the beta stage. Don`t expec too much. If you can report
that the game runs without crashing I`ll be pleased. I`ve got about 4-6
months work to do on it before it`s finished.
Things to do include:
Between level shop for upgrades to ship and to buy more missiles.
Better collision detection.
Some improvements to the main algorythmn will mean I can add more complex
enemies.
Lots of general tidying up.
I should be able to write all of this tommorow afternoon. It will then take
me until Christmas to debug it. ;)
Suggestions are welcome as are bug reports, critisisms insults and
compliments. Whether you entirely fail to get the game running or run it
for three days continuously without a crash I need to hear from you.
