AMOS Basic clone from AMIGA 500 (1990's)

Post by jhice »

Hi there,

Just for info, I did a start of clone called "AMOS Dungeon" in 1990's... It's a old stuff...

More info here, English/Français :

http://www.clancalendar.net/jhice/amos_dungeon/

Only the move system was coded, after hard time ripping and adjusting the bitmaps.

I added doors that goes to an outside world, so we could enter and exit dungeons, like in "Diablo". The game "Ishar" has been amazing me with his outdoor graphisms.

As you can see on the screens, the engine has been used to make a 2D game in split screen, with characters from "Hired Guns" a great multiplayer game (up to 4 players in split screen)...

All these portions of code did nothing but learn myself at coding. No finished games have born from these.

AMOS...brings back memories. I once coded a maze walk-about in BlitzBasicII on my A1200 (still works). In fact I'm now experimenting with coding the same mechanism in C for a PalmOS maze thingy.

Hi Jhice,

quote: "Bitmaps have been ripped with a "memory-rip" tool."

Could you tell me what this program is called and maybe where I can find it?

I could use something like that for some Amiga games I'd like to rip images from.

Thx,
Relig

Wow, I totally forgot to reply here (new pseudo because of missing e-mail address), I was "jhice" the author of this post.

I think not :)

AMOS is back on PC under the name of AOZ Studio (same author François Lionnet, same features !)

Sorry I can't remember, but it was a common software of that kinf=d. The difficulty was to get the right color palette, often the palette was "translated" not to say "totally messed up" :D

Thanksfully there are actually lots of graphics that have been dumped over the Internet since all that time.
