- Short: Amiga port of XThrust (68k + WarpOS)
- Author: peda@lysator.liu.se (Peter Ekberg), Amiga port: frank@phoenix.owl.de (Frank Wille)
- Uploader: frank@phoenix.owl.de
- Type: game/shoot
- Requires: OS2.0, 68020/68881 or PowerPC, AGA or CyberGfx or P96 (rtgmaster)
-
- "This is the game from the C64 that you cannot live without."
-
- AThrust was compiled for a 68020+68881 system, but you will really
- need a 68040 or a 50 MHz 68030 to make the game playable. A PowerPC
- version for WarpOS is included (no speed problems here :).
- Unfortunately I had to remove the PowerUp version of AThrust, because
- it worked neither with rtgmaster V40 nor with V27 (source is included,
- so you can try yourself).
-
- rtgmaster.library V40 is recommended but older versions should work too.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- You only need to copy the apropriate "AThrust" executable and, if
- you want, the ".thrustrc" file, which contains you keyboard
- configuration. ".thrustrc" has to be in the same directory as "AThrust".
-
- My favourite example configuration:
-
- ---8<---
- # .thrustrc
- # Put this in your Thrust directory
-
- RDCMP-counterclockwise Cursor_Left
- RDCMP-clockwise Cursor_Right
- RDCMP-thrust Cursor_Up
- RDCMP-fire Shift_R
- RDCMP-pickup Alt_R
- ---8<---
-
-
- Start AThrust by typing:
-
- athrust [options]
-
- options:
- -v, --version
- -h, --help
- -d, --nodemo Do not run the demo.
- -e, --nosoundeffects Do not play sound effects.
- -c, --gamma=Value Gamma correction of colors.
- -j, --step Only draw every third frame (faster).
-
-
- Full source is included, as required by the GNU Public Licence, and
- should compile fine by using the lastest vbcc 0.6c (still unreleased,
- source is available from http://www.franken.de/users/vb/vbcc/ ).
- Other compilers are untested, but should be no problem after some
- minor changes (vbcc- and Amiga-specific parts are "#ifdef'd").
- The Amiga specific files for graphics-, sound- and keyboard-support
- are: amiga.c, amigakey.c, amigaextra.c
