- Backbone2
- ---------
- NOTE: There are two archives for Backbone2. Backbone2_main.Lha contains all
- the main programs and files to run it. Backbone2_ex.Lha contains several
- example projects including the graphics and sound to go with them. These
- will be very useful if you've never used Backbone before!
-
- Latest Version
- --------------
- New for version 2. Now runs as a Workbench application. Full Gad Tools
- interface, any screen mode!
- Crashing bugs fixed! Now seems to work on everyones computer! (so far)
-
- What Is It?
- -----------
- A game creation system that requires no programming knowledge at all.
- Capable of creating various types of games including:
- Side Viewed (such as Mario Bros)
- Above Viewed (such as Chaos Engine)
- Both Space type, Platform type, Cannon Fodder type... you name it!
- You simply create the graphics (or use the examples supplied) and set the
- various options (speed of player, placement of enemies etc.)
-
- Very powerful with huge potential and will continue to be improved as
- long as I get some feedback!!!
