Overview:
This is my first (original) Amiga game inspired by the classic
XBOX 360 shooter Geometry Wars.
This game was developed to prove that OpenGL software rendered 3D games
are now possible with a PiStorm 4.
This is not a port of Geometry Wars, it's all my own code developed
over the past year (I just made it up as I went along).
I used my old 3D engine PolyNova to generate the 3D objects and
my 68k OpenGL library (NovaMesa) to render the polygons.
Although this release targets the Amiga, it will be highly portable
to any other retro platform that supports SDL and OpenGL.
This game was developed using C++ exclusively.
Requirements:
1) An RTG Amiga (32-bit pixel format ARGB recommended).
2) 68060 processor or better (PiStorm recommended).
3) AHI installed and configured (see links section below).
4) Music and SFX files (examples included).
5) A digital joystick.
6) AmiSSL and bsdsocket.library (Roadshow) for the online leaderboard.
Configuration:
If you have trouble running in 32-bit color mode, check your P96 preferences
and ensure -> Overall Settings -> DepthIncludesAlpha -> ON.
You do not need to install any 3rd party graphics libraries.
The 'closewb' tooltype can be used to close the Workbench.
The escape key will bring up the menu and pause the game.
The cursor keys can be used to navigate the menu options.
The spacebar will drop a smart bomb.
The +/- keys will move the camera backwards and forwards within the scene.
You can toggle fullscreen with ALT+ENTER.
The log file will output the average FPS on exit.
This retro game has been developed to look best on a 4:3 CRT display.
Any errors/warnings should be written to a log file.
Performance Considerations:
This game has been specifically developed to take advantage of the
extra processing power offered by the latest PiStorm accelerators.
All of the music and SFX files included with this archive have been
converted to 22,050 kHz which is what the game uses by default, if you
change the mixer quality setting in the game then you should create
new files to match the new frequency. You should also set up
your AHI output frequency to match the game frequency.
A few silly people have suggested that this game could run on a stock
A500 or A1200 with some FASTRAM. This original game is entirely vector
based and renders thousands of 3D objects per frame in 32-bit color
using real-time lighting effects, try doing that on a stock A1200.
Limitations:
1) No 3D hardware support (old school baby).
