- Stix N Trax - By Gareth Murfin
- ------------------------------
- An Amiga Format Readers Game Entry
-
- Brief
- -----
-
- Stix N Trax is a cool new 2 player simultaneous ice hockey game. You have to
- get the puck and score against the other player, first player to reach 10
- wins!
-
- It was coded in Blitz Basic v2.1 using Dpaint5 to create the graphics. Sounds
- were grabbed for the crowd using Megalosound v1.37. The crowd sounds were
- mean't to add humour to the game and make it more realistic, the graphics may
- not be very impressive because I did them myself ;). One final point is that
- it may need an accelerated Amiga because of the constant blitting of the
- crowd. I'm not sure though because it has only been tested on my 040/25.
-
- What is it?
- -----------
-
- Welcome to Stix N Trax! A game made specifically for entry into the Amiga
- Format readers game section! The game is essentially a one on one 2 player
- simultaneous Hockey game, there are two NHL hockey teams to choose from. Each
- team consists of one pro player. The players must control their Hockey Player
- using the joypad and try and score in the opposing players goal. Pushing
- the fire button whilst in possession of the puck will fire it in the
- direction which you are traveling. The puck's speed and direction is
- proportional to the players speed and direction. Pushing and holding the
- fire button whilst not in possession of the puck lets you gain control
- of your goalkeeper. The goalkeepers job is to stop the puck going in the
- net by moving in the way of it. When the puck hits the keeper it will be
- catapulted outwards back into play. The winner of the game will be the player
- who gets 10 goals first.
-
- Cool Features :-

- * Randomly picks from 10 different ice rinks for each game
- * In game organ and crowd sounds
- * Tracks are left on the ice from the ice skates
- * Simultaneous controlling of Goal Keeper and Player is possible
- * Realistic acceleration, decelleration and inertia
- * Teams and sounds based on real NHL

- Notes
- -----
-
- Tested on an A1200Tg 040/25/25 + 18Meg ram + 520HD & 2x CD. It plays well on
- this setup and should in theory play well on any setup with atleast one meg
- chip and 020. The game requires around 700k of free chip mem to work and will
- obviously make use of an accelerator or fast ram if present.
-
- Oh, and yes I am a Geordie, just incase you were wondering :))
