[projectx] Striker

[Ben C. <cro...@ne...>]

Comrades,

Due to popular request ;), I've released the latest version of Striker,
the tile map engine I've been working on for the past two weeks.  It's
about 80-90% complete feature-wise, and it's pretty stable too (though it
*does* crash from time to time ;)).  There are a few utilities in the
util/ directory for doing such as building tilesets and spritepacks and
viewing them and all that.  There's also the map editor, Carto, which is
almost fully functional.  Because of time restraints and the fact that
I'll be gone for the next day or so, I can't answer any questions just
now, so you'll have to try it yourself and see if you can get it to work.
If anybody *does* get it to work under Windows or DOS, send a message to
the list showing how you did it and which compiler you used.  Scott's
working on the portability issue.  Really, it shouldn't be too hard to get
working, since the code itself isn't platform-specific.  The only thing
would be compiling it.  You need the latest Allegro WIP (3.9.31), by the
way, though it *might* work on the 3.11 that's installed at school.  I
don't know -- try it and see.  Look at the test programs in the tests/
directory to see how to use it.  Well, I think that's it.  Have fun and
may the Force be with you. <g>
