Hi. Before you check, this isn't spam, I have only sent it to this
newsgroup, comp.os.msdos.djgpp, as it is only applicable here. Sorry to
have to start like that, but just because this message includes a link to a
web site, people often just call it spam. Not so!
What I came to say. As lead programmer of SoftySoft, I realised yesterday
that we weren't much of a software company, with no products. So I created
the 'SoftySoft one hour project'. These are very small games or similar
with only basic gameplay included, no fancy menus, and are supposed to be
fun. Yet they are created in an hour or there about.
ANYWAY, the point is that, as they don't take me long to write, I don't
see much point protecting the source with my life, so I simply uploaded it.
It's for DJGPP & Allegro, and is very very simple. Anyone who wants to see
simple use of a small subset of the graphics commands might want to look at
it, just to learn. If so, go to http://www.softysoft.home.ml.org , and to
the downloads page, where you can get your free source. It's probably very
badly written. Or, you can download the .exe versions, with some basic
supplementary screens.
At the minute, you can download the source to a new version of 'lines'
(reportedly similar to the bike thing in Tron, but I wouldn't know), or the
.exe's, play it some, mail me if you think I should develop it further, use
the code yourself (although I doubt you'd want to), etc. etc.
The reason I put this message here is to say that it is there, and to say
that other such projects will be appearing whenever I get a free hour to
write them. If there is any interest, I'll post here every time I put a new
one up. Mail me if you think I should. And remember to alter my e-mail
address to just T DOT Harte AT btinternet DOT com if you reply to this (damn
spammers), but obviously you needn't bother if you mail from the site.
Well, sorry if I've wasted valuable on-line time of yours with this
message, and please do tell me if you find this service / system at all
interesting, because if no-one tells me anything, I'll presume there is no
interest and not bother any more. Otherwise, mail away!
Enjoy!
