Hello. I`m back after a months break with a few questions at the
ready.
1. Everyone go and download two of my games (or more if you want).
Specifically. Banana Islands and Kill Em All. (Nice titles I know)
http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~agm/banana.html
http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~agm/kill.html
OR link to them at: http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~agm/amiga.html
I think that both of them are quite reasonable compared to the
usual standard of AMOS stuff. Admittedly, I knicked SOME gfx of
people (but not without significant changes to them) and they can slow
down but..... oh someone just tell me what you think please??!
2. Does anyone use the Turbo extension?
I have a problem using the faster icon 32 commands. They often
cause graphical displays to go wrong (especially if memory is low)
and if you try to display them anywhere near the sides of a screen,
they are moved so that they fit fully on. I realise that the author
cut down on clipping to speed them up but what i`d rather is that
they are simply not pasted at all rather than moved where I don`t
want them. Any ideas?
3. I don`t suppose that the AMOS source code has been released into
the PD in the last month? Thought not.
4. Using a combination of the JD extension and the turbo extension,
there are commands to turn off multi-tasking (Multi No and JD Multi
off - I think). Well these give a reasonable speed increase but as
the authors say, it disables the keyboard. One of the extensions (I
can`t remember which) gives a command - n=Raw Key(x) - which is
supposed to overcome this, but it is EXTREMELY unreliable and often
just causes a lock out. Any one have any solutions? I also find that
these multi tasking off commands will crash AMOS quite often even if
you turn them off at the end of your program.
5. I`m sure I`ve some other things but I can`t remember right now.
Thanks for reading!
-Murray
