MOS only?

[XDelusion]

Hmmm, looks like Space invaders with eye candy. Will have to check into this sometime! I remember getting to wave 97 on Space Invaders when I was 5 or 6! Good times!

[hooligan]

Its more of a mix of Galaga and Stardust.

[XDelusion]

Even better!!!

@Amikit

Time to get a real Amiga with a PPC card  ;-)

[Piru]

Heh, this game looked quite simple at first.

But just wait till you get some extra weapons... Whoa! ;-)

"HyperCannon features:

 o 3D rendered visuals"

 That means that it won't run on a BVision due to the lack of 3D drivers, right?

[realstar]

The game doesn't require 3D drivers to operate so it should work fine on BVision. However, I am not sure if the game would be playable since I use 600Mhz and 1Ghz Pegasos systems for playtesting.

[AmigaMance]

Ok. I'll try it and see. :-)

@realstar

That's cool, what Api did you use, SDL ? Amiga graphics.library ?

[Amigaz]

Reporting in that the game work fine on an A4000 with a Cyberstorm PPC 233mhz, Cybervision 64/3D gfx card

GERMAN ENGINEERING MAKES IT POSSIBLE  :-D

(Phase 5)

[realstar]

The API is a combination of the usual system libraries. (screen setup, input, timer etc.) AHI and MPEGA for sound and CyberGFX direct access to copy the hidden gfx buffer. I also created my own set of functions to handle the sprites/bobs, animation, movements/motions, gamelogic, collision detection, image loading, bitmapped fonts, gfx effects etc. Glad to hear it runs ok on Amiga PPC systems.
