Igor, Thanks for helping me with GameSmith. Well I think the only choice for me is to go and buy SAS C… Diego!
#Problems with DICE.
Message #48485
Okay here's the deal: anyone who finds how to help me will receive a free copy of my future game (keep waitin'!). Seriously, I've got problems with DICE. I just bought the GameSmith Developement System and I'm trying to use the library. The fact is that DICE doesn't seem to…
A HD Anim Player?
Message #48484
Hi, Here's the problem: I need an HD animplayer to play long animations. The player needs to be accessible from CLI if possible, but if it's in the form of a C library, then it works fine for me. I know there are many out there, like BigAnim. But the…
Are you a GFX artist?
Message #48463
Do you spend your time drawing animations, characters, backgrounds, and then you ask yourself what's the purpose of making pictures if nobody sees them? Of course you could put them on the excellent ART FORUM or upload them on the Aminet Site. But we have a better idea. Why don't…
#GFX artists, READ THIS!
Message #48377
Hello there! Have you spent these last nights dreaming of your artwork becoming alive? Do you see animated sprites everywhere? Have you ever wanted to see your characters in a game? HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO MAKE GAMES ??? Then you'll be glad to know that a small group of…
The easiest way to be completely free with bobs and sprites dimensions in AMOS is to draw your sprites with Deluxe Paint and grab them with a self-made frame grabber. I wrote one myself, and it's very easy: when you finished drawing your bobs, draw a rectangle around them with…
#Help me with ImageFX 1.5
Message #48147
Hi, I got ImageFX 1.5 from CU Amiga several months ago, and I find it's a great program. Alas, the documentation over IMP is missing, and I need to perform a very specific operation with it. Here's the problem: I have a set of IFF IMAGES forming an animation, and…
About THAT project…
Message #47876
Ray, I think you could help us with the project, so I'll keep in touch with you. But the way, I need to know which computer you work on, where do you live, and what's your artistic level. Also, is you have a friend who's an artist, tell him to…
About THAT project…
Message #47875
Asha, Hi, it's me again. I'm writing these lines one day before I leave. I just want to say that I think you could help us with the project, so we'll keep getting in touch… in September! You said you can work with 256 colors. Are there 256 colors from…
Phillip, It will surely run faster than on AMOSPro, and I'll be able to access AGA. Anyway, if I could find an Assembler coder, it would be great. I'm writing these lines one day before living. I think you could help us making this project. I need to know your…
Stewart, About the fact of "hitting" the hardware: I'm a poor guy who started with MSX and ended with AMOSPro (try Bert In The Magic Kingdom: I did it ! ). Now, after tasting the "joys" of coding in Assembler (learning with an old Abacus book: only 1.3! No AGA!),…
Steward, Let's do something: why don't you try? Listen, I'm writing this lines one day before going to holydays, so I'm a bit out of time, but be sure I'll call you back in September and we'll discuss on how you can send me a sample of your work. I…
Phillip Thanks for answering. Let me answer your questions. I've chosen C because it's a real pain to make something big and well structured with Assembler. Anyway, I've also learn a bit of Assembler. The reasons I stopped are: 1.It is exceedingly confusing 2.There's a huge lack of documentation… The…

Message #47829
Ray, Thanks for answering.It glad to learn that you're interested in the project. For now, I am trying to get in touch with as many gfx artists and coders as I can. I won't tell you exactly what the project is, but be sure it'll be a PC-games beater (if…
#Wanna make games?
Message #47691
Christian, I need the AGA for the 256 colors. Ask yourself: how many games really use the AGA chipset ? How many A1200 games aren't just PC conversions or A500 enhancements? It's time to change that!!! Yeah!!! Anyway, we could do an A500 conversion later. But as you should know,…
#Wanna make games?
Message #47690
Asha, First of all, thanks for answering. I thought no one would be interested. I'm going to try to answer your questions. You asked why A1200 only.The fact is that I need the AGA. Let's face it: the machines like A500 or A200 (or even A300) are graphically obsolete, at…
Stewart The reason I think I should make it only AGA is because of the graphic possibilities. It is sad to say, but making an A500 game today, even with a HD, is (sniff) obsolete. The fact is that with those crappy-bugged Pentium PC's you have 256-color games. The Amiga…
#Wanna make games?
Message #47664
OK, now listen to this. I am a mad guy who will prove that it is possible to write commercial games without needing a bunch of actors or a CRAY computer. I am looking for graphic artists and C or Assembler coders. The aim is to realize a project of…

Help me with C !!!
Message #47464
Hi Carlo — I see a small problem: You defined float celsius but I'll bet you defined int fahr and now you're trying to assign a floating-point constant to it: celsius = (5.0/9.0)*(fahr=32.0) /* Should have been (fahr-32.0) */ I'm not familiar with DICE C, but I imagine that's why…
#Help me with ImageFX 1.5
Message #47506
OK,now I've got a problem.I need to rescale a whole set of rendered pictures I made (actually, it's a rendered animation which has been saved by the soft as a list of ILBM pictures…). But the fact is that doing it for every single file is quite a tedious job,isn't…

#HELP ME!I wanna learn C.
Message #47149
Help Me! I need to find a book to learn C language. I live in Belgium and I've got some problems finding good books about beginning in C. I have studied Assembler, but then I wanted to code in C coz' I couldn't manage to access the AGA through Assembler,…
