The rules of prospecting:
My best attempt so far at a game. If the
graphics look like they were thrown together in a hurry with windows
paintbrush, that's because they were, and if the sound effects sound
like recordings of items I found on my desk, then maybe there's a
logical explanation for that,too.
Prevent Scrabster and his henchpersons from helping themselves to your
stuff, by blasting him off the screen. Irritated by your boss, colleagues,
spouse, partner or relatives? Simply replace my Scrabster graphics
with their mug shots, using the Allegro grabber, and gain instant satisfaction.
Windows EXE and source included. Download
Not much here; it is the beginnings of a graphical adventure game. I realise
there is lots of other stuff called Atlantis already, including computer
games, so I'll change it when I'm ready. Also includes super Pete-style
graphics (I must learn how to do them properly someday)
A small program to generate terrain maps by composing functions which
have been subjected to affine transformations. Uses the allegro gui, virtual
functions, STL, operator() and all that good stuff.
