GRAC2 information

[J-Golden]

Hey doc,

I looked into GRAC2 and GRAAL, and personally am going with GRAAL.  There are TONS more features and it is way better documented.

It's also free like GRAC2!

It's funny you should pop on about this time because a community group was made just a few days ago for us amateur game makers.  Also because I just got into it myself a few weeks ago and started down the same path you are going (seriously, I just e-mailed myself all the text files for GRAAL so I can read them during down time at work).

To answer your question, there is no AGA game maker that I know of.  They are all ECS/OCS only to date.  But GRAAL does offer Half-bright colors so you can do 64 instead of 32 and so may some of the others like "Backbone".  Search it out on Aminet, you won't be disappointed...

Where can this be found?

+1
 
I looked on Hall of Light, Lemon Amiga and Aminet but couldn't find even a mention of it.
 
GRAAL is looking cooler and cooler as I read the docs.  You can even make it a "talky" (add audio recordings instead of text), it'll do auto scaling for objects/characters that move into hte distance AND you can have four characters under your control at the same time!
 
Really REALLY cool!

Ok, that makes sense.  I was looking for INCA which is how you spelled it in your first post, not INGA as you've been calling it since.
 
One letter can make a BIG difference!
 
As for your offer, I'd LOVE to get my hands on it even to look at it and see what it can do.  Do you know if it was a finished product?  The link you posted siad development had ended, but not at what stage...
 
PM sent with email address soon!

Two things.

1) Got INGA (THANKS fishy_fiz!!!) and installed it and yes, it requires RTG and at least an 030.  It is also completely in German so even though I could start and play the demo game and open the docs on Amiga Forever, I didn't understand a word people were saying. :lol:

I also didn't hear any sound.  I don't know if that was an AF issue or there was no sound in the demo game to begin with.

2) Getting back to GRAC2.  I wanted to do some more looking into GRAC2 so I could make a Pro/Con comparison with GRAAL but other than running the editor, it flashes the screen and then a requestor box pops up with "Cannot open screen" and an "OKAY" button.

Again, I'm playing in a virtual environment with AF but I checked and all the native screen modes work so I don't know what could be causing the issue.

Any ideas why it doesn't run?
