METAL

Well, METAL is a lovely (and free!) BASIC programming language for the Mac. It can be downloaded from here. I'm just playing around with it at the moment, but any interesting programs I create will be listed here. Note that you must have already downloaded METAL to run these programs.

Those of you who know me from the forum will find some of the demonstration programs I talk about here.



Simple Stuff:

-- Bobsleigh - A simple game.
-- Brownian - A Brownian motion thingy. A nice effect.
-- DescendingCells - A cellular automata program.
-- DescendingCells5 - Like the above, but offers more complex influences.
-- Falldown - A simple game.
-- Galaxy - My port of an old galactic collision algorithm.
-- Life - The old classic, but slow.
-- SimpleStars - A simple, fast starfield.
-- Swarmz 1.2 - A swarming algorithm.

More Complex Stuff:

-- Golem v2 - A game recorder for Go, an ancient board game from China. This is rather a speciality item.

-- Rusty 1.11 - User interface for a Chess program (also features random play).

-- Golf 0.3b - A simple little Golf game (only 5 holes so far).

-- Komi - Perhaps my best creation so far! A fully working arcade game.

-- Pacmonium 2.2 - A quite slick Pacman clone with OS X support (updated 25/6/2002).

-- Boulderdashy - An incomplete but fully working Boulderdash clone, under the GPL.

-- Pearl Crypt - An incomplete Crystal Quest style game under the GPL.

-- Vortex and Vortex.rsrc (optional) - Asteroids-like game under the GPL. Made in cooperation with Lisa Lovelace.

-- METAL Maelstrom - An implementation of Ambrosia's Maelstrom under the GPL. Alas, I can't distribute the graphics; you'll have to download those separately (instructions included).


That's it for now...
