}Doom for the Amiga? Mike Richmond investigates
@4Veteran programmer, Steven Limpman (he was the man behind the 8 bit smash
hits 3D Warzone and Leapin' Lenny) recently unveleiled his latest project,
`Operation Climacteric', a texture mapped 3D game in the Doom mould. I have
personally played a demo of this game, and I am telling you, it is going to
be MASSIVE - remember where you heard it first!
Running at a comfortable 25fps in a 16 colour quarter screen display, `OC'
is perhaps the most impressive piece of Software ever to hit the Amiga, and
the AMAZING news is, it was partially written in AMOS PROFESSIONAL!
Steve told AZ, `I have been an Amos user since the first version of Amos
Classic. Although it is not the quickest language, it is capable of some
truly stunning results when in the right hands,'
Indeed, Steve seems to have the right hands, because his special extension,
`Warp Speed' looks set to revolutionise the Amiga world. It enables Amos
to run at near Assembler speeds, but also requires a good knowledge of
Assembler itself. It will also need a 68020 based Amiga at least. `OC' is
going to be AGA only for the simple reason that it will not run fast enough
on OCS and ECS Amigas.
`The problem with the A500', says Steve, `is that the screen handling
routines in the OS are simply too slow. Commodore rewrote much of the OS
for Workbench 3, and in some cases the routines are up to 500% faster'
Look out for `Operation Climacteric' some time in 1995, probably around
Christmas. The Blitz beating `Warp Speed' extension is due out about now,
Steve and his team are in the process of adding the finishing touches to
make it more user friendly.
