- Hi, Thye Chean here.
-
- I have almost finished doing my Super Magic 3.2, the graphics and animation
- routines library.
-
- Well, I am a little lazy at the moment (too tired writing my hypermedia
- system for SUN), and will probably not doing anything for Super Magic 3.2.
- The new game is temporary on hold again because the artist just get a new
- job and cannot get the shapes done.
-
- But while developing the game, I have added many features to Super Magic, so
- I think some of you might like it.
-
- Some of the new features:
-
- * Able to grab sprites directly from screen, and automatically generated the
- mask.
-
- (This is to answer the complains in the past that user have to define the
- sprites in the source code, and generate the mask themselve)
-
- * Joystick routine
-
- (For writing games)
-
- * A simple demonstration that shows a ship flying, contrallable by a joystick.
- It allows user to add in the aliens and made it into a game. It is actually
- a very early version of my game. I am not releasing my current version,
- already with enemies attacking the space ship...yet.
-
- * Happy Birthday Demo and S320 demo source code.
-
- If you are interested in the program, drop me a mail. If enough interest, I
- will also post the current Super Magic 3.2 to the net, and drop it in
- tybalt.
