Subject: Have you seen JSW for RISC O/S ?
Anyone?
I found it
here:
http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/progs.games.html target=new>http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/progs.games.html>
(scroll to jet set willy).
I downloaded it (without a
clue as to what a RISC O/S is ??? anyone ?) and read
the attached text file. I quote :
"This
version implements both JSW and JSW2, and a few extra
features besides."
It carries on -
"There
have been a lot of changes to !JSW since v1.20 (and
even v1.30). The
most important of these are the
editable block types, with some new ones to
choose from
- disintegrating platforms, springs, and
escalators. There are
features allowing you to edit the
sprites in the current room or animation
sequence, and
to quickly draw lines and rectangles, and quickly
reposition
monsters and their bounding boxes. And there are
background sprites too..."
sounds interesting ?
then...
"You can place pieces on the map simply by clicking or
dragging Select in the
room editing window. Clicking or
dragging Adjust places blanks. You are limited to at most
64 collectables and one switch."
A few extra
features !!! you should read this text file - and if
anyone out there has access to this RISC op. system, I
reckon you should give it a go NOW !!
- Gawp.
