A bit more Amiga Framework, today, methinks.
-=-=- There's currently no nice swoopiness to the Amiga Framework. It's "THIS IS MENU" and "THIS IS GAME". Getting the text to swoop into the menu will be tricky, given what functionality I have available on the Amiga, but I usually at least have a nice swooping door effect at the end of games. I *think* that should be doable. Maybe.. Who knows. I also need to work out how to mix music and sounds properly. Last time I tried that it hard-crashed the Amiga, good and proper, so .. um.. not like that! Can it even be done in Blitz? I'm trying to think back to what Blitz-based Amiga games I had, and .. I seem to recall a lot of either-or, and not both at once. Hmmm.. Meanwhile...The drawer full of disks hasn't been attempted, yet. I think that's probably something I should tackle. Whittle it down to important disks, clear out the drawer a little, and after that, more or less retire the Amiga's floppy drive to just being a boot disk loader. I also need to ensure I've got just the right tool for the job, converting what disks I have over to ADF format. The one that came with the PCMCIA Compact Flash reader seems to crap out what it comes across a single error on the disk. In a perfect world, I'd like something more like the old Amiga favourite, XCopy that carries on reading track by track and makes a direct copy, disk readability be damned.. I'll have to hunt for just the right tool, I think. ... Right then, busy day ahead! Views 72, Upvotes 18
