They'd been studying the effects of broadcasting three stooges re-runs for alien life forms. Their dream was, that if indeed aliens do exist, they could be brain washed into becoming a galaxy of slapstick comedians... If only they'd stuck to their flared pants, surf and turf and drive inn's movies, we wouldn't be in this mess now...  In 2001, their message was received by a small peaceful planet some 17.4 light years away, called the "Spacanations". A civilized and enlightened race of carefree beings, human like in appearance, well except, for the two extra heads and superfluous nipples. News spread throughout their colony quickly, they were excited and wanted to see their new universal neighbours. A public broadcast followed, 9 hours of back to back three stooges episodes, but they didn't know that... No more than 14 seconds had aired, when a rage took hold of normally friendly population, they had never experienced such raw negative emotion, and were soon consumed with hatred.. You see, In an Ironic twist of fate, their beloved leader and living god just happens to look like the love child of all three stooges... Their not happy, 24.76 seconds later, the first wave of bumbling attackers enters earth's space..  Luckily for us, having perfected of art of war over countless generations was in our favour. So after a careful threat analysis, (paper rock scissors, drawing straws ) our newly elected government WinTel World, decides in it's infinite wisdom, to hold a raffle for any willing pilots. The response is low, but YOU my friend, have drawn the shortest straw. So do as humans do, and bring them to their knees... Make us proud..... Main Features: * Over 50 levels of gruelling 2D combat action. * Awesome CD/Online audio sound track. * Eye catching special effects. :) * Note: None! of these are actually done yet, and probably won't be  :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KYRUSS - Code Warriors (FREE GAME) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The idea behind Kyruss was formed over a decade ago, it came from a discussion with a fellow coding buddy "Daniel Martin" while standing outside the Ballarat Amiga Users group. We were talking about the recent spree c64 :) and Amiga viruses. Now somehow that discussion turned into an idea about making a game for programmers, were the aim was to create a virus that could outlast, self replicate and kill any other viruses that were in the infected machines memory.. The last remaining and living virus wins!. Simple huh !    Today this is not a new idea (code wars / robot wars) and I doubt it was then either, but it's certainly a very different project to undertake in Dark Basic. Kyruss consists of four main parts. At it's heart is the VCPU (Virtual CPU) Emulation, the VCPU is based loosely on the Motorola 680x0 cpu's, next we have a (simple) multi tasking kernel, Windows Emulation and finally a 2 pass Assembler. To clarify the above, The Kyruss system works along the same lines as any computer or console emulation. I.e. It recreates that computer on your windows computer, like say the MAME (coin op's), WINUE/FELLOW (AMIGA emulator), or BLEEM (Sony Play station emulator). The main difference is that Kyruss is not a 'real' machine, it's a pretend one, and thus I only need to emulate the very core of a computer, so thus various unnecessary aspects like sound, disc interfaces and others are not present      Emulation Features: *32bit VCPU (virtual Central Processing Unit) *Fully Protected Game Are and task fault protection *Pre-emptive Multi Tasking *GUI interface operation *68000 Source (styled) Assembler. *Full Documentation of the Kyruss Instructions --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THESIUS XII (FREE AMIGA GAME) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Info:  Thesius XII is an extremely challenging, high action space fantasy shoot'em up. Thesius is similar in design to IREM's classic 'R-TYPE' tm, Although we consider it more a blend between that and my personal favourite, 'Silk Worm' tm.  The full release version features four well balance levels, each level is set within it's own unique scenario, containing various sounds tracks and two major guardians per level. Throughout your battle, you'll encounter over 120 unique and highly aggressive alien objects, all of which, have one small idea on their very small minds, they must Destroy You.... (which is something they are quite good at.. ;)  Thesius XII v95 (Aminet demo) was first reviewed in the August issue of 'Amiga Format' in their PD section. In the following issue it again was featured (along side a number of other great products and talented developers) in a special article focusing upon the new torchbearers upon the Amiga. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DARK BASIC SOURCE CODE (FREE SOURCE CODE) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over 50 source code snippets for Dark Basic, including various 3D & 2D Effects. We also have various complete libraries on offer for the new and old Dark Basic Developers. * View Volume FOV (3D) -------------------- View Volume is a visualization engine / function kit designed to handle none moving landscapes objects, like trees or buildings. This is achieve via using a special environment database to eliminate excessive frustum checking. It supports a reusable object cache (dynamic), Object Levels of Detail ( LOD ), Unique Static objects as well as Dynamic LOD also.   * Virtual Banks -------------- Virtual Banks is a simulation of direct memory access for ALL versions of Dark Basic. It provides a dynamic environment to simulate the memory buffers. It features over 30 relating commands like Open / Closing / loading / saving / encryption / Peek / Poke (byte/words/long) / Copying / Masking / Reading + Writing + Finding + replacing Strings and much more.    * Virtual Bitmap -------------- Virtual Bitmaps is a Set of commands to replace and enhancement the 2d commands of Dark Basic. These functions are managed via arrays and are not limited by the graphics commands of Dark Basic. The library includes common 2d & 3d graphics functions from Bitmap Loading, Saving, Dots, Lines, Boxes, Circles, Copying, Colour & Plane Masking, Shading, Fractals, Alpha Blending, Phong Maps, Bitmap Lighting, Polygon Rendering (flat, gouraud, texture mapped and gouraud texture mapping). and more..    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE END - MORE COMING SOON ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
