BARRAVENTO
O Mestre da Capoeira
©1993 Hitek Softworks
©1997 Freeware released by Mauro Lourenço
This game was made to be a part of the A600 pack software released by
PCI, a Brazilian enterprise licenced by ex-Commodore-Amiga in '93. It was
a commercial product but now its authors give me permission to release it
as a freeware game.
The first codes was made in C and later in Amos. The screen mode is NTSC
LowRes with 32 colors but it runs on Pal too.
The English language wasn't included. Choosing the USA/British or
Brazil/Portugal flags the language will be always Portuguese. The final
version was planned to be released in English/Portuguese with all the
Capoeira blows, 30 fight stages and 5 different bonus stages!
Barravento messages:
Portuguese - English
"Por favor digite seu nome" - Please, write your name
"Aguarde" - Wait
"Voce perdeu!" - You loose!
"Parabéns!" - Congratulations!
"Voce é o novo" - You are the new
"Mestre da Capoeira" - Capoeira Master
About Capoeira & Barravento
Capoeira is a dance-fight sport style from Brazil. A musical instrument
called Berimbau is played during the fight and Barravento is the name of
the fastest Berimbau rhythm at final fight.
Installing on Hard Disk:
Just click on Barravento drawer icon and drag it to any dir or make a
drawer called Barravento and copy to it the following:
files: Barravento (with its icon)
INTRO
dirs: fonts
data
If you want, this guide and Blows.iff file may be copied too.
Installing on Floppy Disk:
Make a bootable disk and decrunch Barravento.lha files to it. Just delete
this guide and copy the followings Workbench files from your Hard Disk:
C: Assign, EndCli
L: Disk-Validator, Ram-Handler
Libs: Diskfont.library, icon.library, mathieeedoubbas.library,
mathtrans.library
Copy then to c, l and libs drawers.
Note: Aminet doesn't permit to put these files and .dms format too.
Note about the speed on A1200:
This game was written to run on A600 1M machine so the speed increases
on A1200. If you wish to decrease it do this:
1) Disable CPU caches & original chip ON
2) Get degrader 1.3 program (on Aminet util/misc Degrader.lha 17k),
install it on C: dir and add to barravento script file:
degrader timewaste 180
Assign BARRAVENTO: ""
INTRO
If you have an expanded A1200 change the first line to:
A1200 + FASTRAM:
degrader nofastmem timewaste 180
A1200 030/33:
degrader nofastmem nocache timewaste 150
A1200 040/060:
the same as 030 but with timewaste <130 (try some values around it)
Note: This program WASN'T TESTED on these accelerator boards!
If you don't have any HD (I don't believe?!) run degrader first,enable
these options, click on "SurviveResets" and boot this game.
The Barravento Blows
Each blow is composite of 6 frames. These frames were digitalized images
from a camera and the animation was made by rotoscope.
You can see the blows here and its joystick commands.
Notes:
- The head is the best local to blow.
- There isn't energy waste on human-computer fights during the trip.
- Arrows and Space keys can be used to select on the options screens.
