New Strategy Game Screenshots for AMIGA(tm)

[ajk]

No extra hardware cards are requred to enjoy this delightful game.

Yes but what I meant was does it work if I have those. I do not have AGA output on my A1200.

It should run on OS4 without any modifications, unless it accesses hardware past the OS APIs.

(it was me who suggested the Turtorial)

Cool!  Thanks man!

I suggested tutorials years ago but nobody on Team Chaos listens to me  :shocked:

Could you please suggest -more- tutorials to the Tutorial Design Department?  Thanx!


I hereby dedicate this Tutorial to you, Lempkee


It seems a bit overcrowded with text to me.
What is your opinion?

[Desolator]

You should program it so when you hold the mouse pointer over the coloured text, the line pointing to the correct icon appears. It gets a bit cluttered with all those lines back and forth..

soooooooo, any plans for an AROS port of Total Chaos then? :-D

Does your friend have an Amiga 1200?

If she does then tell her to quit looking and start playing it!  :-)

If your friend lives close to you then this is a great game to have some friends over, gather round the miggy and have some fun.

I don't even know what AROS is.

Does that answer your question?  :-D

AROS at the moment is a pc-thing, but will being ported to Pegasos too !!

Is a implementation of AmigaOS 3.x or something, but i consider that isnt an usable OS at the moment, but noce code for know some things of amigaos...

Yes the game works if you have a gfx card and/or sound card.
Many people with gfx and sound cards play Total Chaos every day.

I do not have AGA output on my A1200.

Yes you do.  Every A1200 EVER built by Commodore, ESCOM, Amiga Inc., or Joe Blow amd his brother Bob,
all have AGA output.  Its a standard feature of all A1200 and A4000 Amigas built 1993-2003.

Look on the back of your A1200 for a connector that says RGB.  That is it.

So unless you went psycho with a hacksaw, you've got AGA output.

Wrong.  OS4 API is different from OS3.x API.
OS4 API is not compatible with OS3.x API.

>Wrong. OS4 API is different from OS3.x API.
>OS4 API is not compatible with OS3.x API.

This remark is probably targeted about the Interfaces. If you include inline4/... you can use the oldstyle API in your code (you only have to include two "special lines" when opening and closing the library.

Generally it is of course an improvement to have interfaces (for multi-interface-libraries).

Anyways, when I for example ported GBE to OS 4 this was maybe 5 minutes of work, and 2 KB of diff-file. There are of course things in the OS 4 API which are not supported in the OS 3.x API.

This is of course about source-code, a OS 3.x Binary would work out of the box.

Without Total Chaos, my life would be nothing.

My favourite game of all time.

[Imerion]

Wonderful game!!! Its good to see such nice developers making coll games for the amiga!

[mantisspider]

hi guys

is total chaos just for team play or can i play it by myself on my machine with no net connection?

[jeffimix]

As to e-mail for being only a one v one thing... how do you set up e-mail games? Do you use a central host who recieves and transmits all turns, or do you have some decentralized method? Do you have unique ID codes for everyone so as to block two or more races being the same guy in a game?

What was obviously ment is that there is no AGA compatible monitor around.....

[Im>bE]

yes, you can play alone.

Infact, I have yet to play it
with another human,
and its still my favourite game!

You can however assign cpu wizards to your side.
Forexample you and 1 cpu wizard
against other cpu wizards. Great fun.
