Short: Light cycles game - runs on a pubscreen. Author: Richard West & Daniel Pimley (Micro Design) Uploader: md@dream.u-net.com (Richard West) Version: 1.3r Type: game/2play Requires: kick 37+ Replaces: game/2play/Light.lha Action: PAL A light cycles game with a few nice features that runs on a pubscreen, programmed in AmigaE. It's not too bad, even if we do say so ourselves. Old Features from Version 1r: Up to 4 players with CPU fill-ins reasonably clever CPU players Prefs that save to a file in the program dir Control over screen wrap, acceleration, in-game obstacles Player control (any player can use any control method) Colours and names of players can be set. Hotkeys for all options (for when a joystick is in mouse port) System friendly Old Features from Version 1.1r: CPU Turning Slider in Game Prefs New in-game sound effects added Minor palette changes Different default colours for lines Small glitches in code smoothed out Bug fixes - nothing important Old for Version 1.2r Finally using the audio device to allocate channels making the audio bug, which some people experienced, non-existent. New for Version 1.3r Linked the data file to the executable so that LightSpeed now only needs the one file to run. More small bug fixes including menus which conflicted with MagicMenu and failed to display properly on Kick 37 machines. Changed the about requesters slightly with updated information. Fixed a crash which would occur on below Kick 37 machines if they run the program against all my advice, it now just returns an error. Changed the distribution file name to LightSpeed as it kept being refered to simply as light. Many other fixes have been done, which I can no longer remember, this will be the final revision of version 1, as I am sure all bugs are fixed. As of yet no decission has been made on a version 2 which would include many more new and unique features.
