Short: Full AMOS sources for old "Tron" game. Author: tmg296@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Tristan Greaves) Uploader: tmg296 ecs soton ac uk (Tristan Greaves) Type: dev/amos Version: 2.0 Architecture: generic Death Ride was a game that I created with AMOS way back in 1992. I have now decided to unleash the source code onto the world. All the sources are included in this archive: the *.AMOS files, IFF pictures, raw samples and AMOS Sample Banks. The game executable and documentation is also included so you can see what it is all meant to do. Here is an extract from the game documentation about Death Ride: <----> Come on, EVERYONE knows what a Tron game is about. You don't? Where have you been the last few decades? Well, it's simple really. In the film Tron (A great film, by the way) the contestants had to drive their light cycles around an arena, trying to kill their opponents. Their light cycles left trails behind them, and if a cycle hit one of these trails - KABAM! Another problem is that the light cycles didn't have brakes. Death Ride is a simulation of this 'sport'. You're presented with a top down view of the action. Up to four human players can take part at a time and the sole survivor is the winner. I've added a few extra features (Such as obstacles, gates and power ups) to make it a bit more fun. So, welcome to Death Ride. <----> Please note that the game was originally developed on an A500 and has not transferred very well to higher-specification machines. For example, it runs *way* too fast and there are a couple of bugs in there. Looking back over the source, I consider it all to be extremely badly coded and put together. The game was produced with a couple of friends for a laugh. Use it as a guide on how NOT to program, I guess... Consider it a programming challenge to get it all working, and good. ;) And yes, I have since seen the light and now develop in such languages as C, C++ and Java. AMOS makes me cringe! Death Ride was originally released via The Imaginative Collection Licenseware Scheme. It is now Freely Distributable, as long as no changes to the archive nor its contents are made.
