For those who would like to put their creative skills into game making but find all that mucking about with 6502/ARM code hard work, this month's meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London will show how to do it the easy way in BBC BASIC
Anthony Bartram will be demonstrating the AMCOG Game Development Kit, which makes game writing on RISC OS simpler than ever before. The kit includes:
- core library to enable sprite plotting, screen transitions, MP3 playback and much more
- tile library to provide a general game engine for games based on tiles
- sound library and virtual sound chip: RDSP
- Game sprites
- Music tracks
- Sound samples
Free graphics, music tracks and sound samples are included, plus three games developed using the kit:
- Mutant Penguin
- Cyborg
- Sparky - a simpler playable tile library case study
Sparky is only available with the Development Kit and is presented both as a playable game and development case study. Anthony will walk us through the Sparky example to show how easily a game can be put together using the kit.
Anthony will also explain more about RDSP, his sound synthesis system that 30 years after the creation of RISC OS finally gives it a working ENVELOPE command!
