TNT is basically a pretty simple DynaBlasters-style game but is NOT really a
clone.  The Graphics are original, courtesy of Black Ice and although the
music is poor I think the game plays well.  Maybe I'm just biased ......

The game allows 2-4 players, the first two require joysticks and the remaining
two play on keys.  Unfortunately the design of the A1200 means that there is
some keyboard clash, so as soon as I find a better key combination I'll try to
fix that. :)

TNT was written in AMOS Basic Pro, and Compiled using, yes, you guessed it, the
AMOS Basic Pro Compiler.  Thanks to Francois Lionet for writing such a cool
language, even if the smallest executable seems to be 50K .....

Keys for 3 and 4 player modes are:

   Player 3:   Left: E
         Right:   R
         Up:   Q
         Down: A
         Fire: SpaceBar

   Player 4:   Uses the cursor keys on the numeric key pad:
         Left: 4
         Right:   6
         Up:   8
         Down: 5
         Fire: Enter

I'm afraid this rather buggers anyone with an A600, since they can't have
four players.  Maybe I'll fix this, since it's still a combination that
results in keyboard clash.

So watch out for future releases from S.C.R., which I hope to be writing over
the summer.  These include a nice roleplaying game and maybe a platform
puzzler.  All formula stuff, but hey, what game can really claim to be original
these days??

It appears that I made a bit of a mistake in putting TNT onto the net
at the end of my last term.  Checking the file at home and on friend's
machines I found that it didn't work!

I hasten to point out that this was a fault in the AMOS Pro Compiler which
caused the included squasher not to work properly and was not due to my code
being dodgy.

Which is a bit of a pain, since TNT has now been sitting on the net for
ages and people will have seen it not work .. how embarrassing! *SIGH*
Oh well, that's life.

Thankyou.  Enjoy the game.
