- AMOS is also a good alternative. It allows you to do very impressive
- things very simply. such as graphics, animation, and sound. While some
- people call this "a game making language" (and although it excells at
- that), it is actually an extention of BASIC. It utilizes all the
- standard BASIC commands with addition support, such as Procedures, the
- ability to play converted MOD tunes (with a single command), and more.
- The initial package costs between $70-$80 American. There are support
- packages available, such as a compiler and a 3D graphics package. There
- are hundreds of PD programs written in AMOS. If you would like to see
- an example of what AMOS can do, there is a PD AMOS magazine available at
- FTP sites (like wuarchive.wustl.edu) and others called Amoner (it should
- be in .dms format). Amoner4e.dms is a demo using AMOS 3D.
-
- Amos is available from Mandarin software, or though a local dealer.
