HyperCannon v0.8f released

[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.

Hi.
 I have test the game and it's not very smooth but not unplayable either, as i have a slower system than Amigaz. (A1200, BPPC)
 Perhaps it's a good idea to add an option for the user to disable backround music. As you said it's mp3 through AHI and this can be CPU consuming for low-end PPC Amigas.

I'd like to do a shoot'em up too one day, so far I've only set up the screen  8-) (not had enouph time to do the rest yet..) that's why I asked it.
Handling your own sprites/bobs etc. seems way too much work, I thought CyberGFX/Picasso handled those things already but maybe they're too slow.

Cheers
