Untangle

Amiga port of a popular logic game.

The Game

Untangle is a logic puzzle, where the player faces a set of dots connected

by lines. Usually the set is untidy, many lines cross another ones. The

game goal is to untangle lines by moving dots, so finally no line cross

another.

Project Goals

Game should be system friendly, working in a window on Workbench, using

only documented APIs.

Minimum system version is 3.0.
RTG (graphic cards) should be supported out of the box. Without dedicated

code paths and explicit opening of RTG libraries, if possible.

Would be nice if it works on MorphOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS using M68k

emulation built into these operating systems.

Should be comfortably playable on stock A1200, stock A500 is not a Holy

Grail, but why not.

Building

Project is developed on a real Amiga 1200 with 68020 at 28 MHz and 64 MB

fast RAM. Compiler used is native GCC 2.95.3 with usual GeekGadgets

environment, and "make" tool. To build the game just enter

make

in a shell.

At the moment test level file ("level.iff") is built manually from

assembler source "level.s" with

vasm -Fbin level.s -o level.iff

It implies that "vasm" assembler is also installed. This is a temporary

solution, I plan to add feature of creation and saving levels in the game

itself.

Installation

Executable may be copied anywhere. "level.iff" file should be in the same

directory as executable. It runs from shell as well as from Workbench. For

now there is no icon for it.

Usage

After starting select "New" from menu (or `RAmiga + n` from keyboard) to

load the test level.

Requirements

Amiga with any processor (code is compiled for 68000).
Kickstart/Workbench 3.0 or higher.
For now there is no detection of non-square pixel display modes, so dots

are distorted on, for example, "PAL HighRes".
