Are there any OMEGA programmers out there? If you write these Cybertank simulation programs, I'd really like to hear from you. I've just got the program and find the Author's competition to be very frustrating. Any words from out there would be appreciated.

I have done a little OSI programming, and currently have passed 5-6 (I forget which) evaluations, so I am not sure I understand your frustration. If you give me some more details, I would be glad to try to help. Just a hint, I tried to make my first tanks *FAR* too complicated. Make a simple tank, and fine-tune it after each evaluation. Second hint, at early evaluations, firing fast and firing alot is probably the most important. Drop me a line if you want to discuss this further. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * I won't grow up, not a penny will I pinch | Department of Computer Science, * I will never grow a moustache, or a | Duke University, * fraction of an inch. | Durham, NC 27706 * Cause growing up is awfuller than all the | * awful things that ever were. | ARPA: cfg@cs.duke.edu * I won't grow up, never grow up..... | CSNET: cfg@duke * Not ME!

For thoses of you who have never heard of/ played omega, it is similar to hack or rogue, but it is much more complex. There is a city, several towns, a wilderness, lots of dungeons a multitude of monsters, lots of spells, magic items etc. there are also several quests to complete, all in all it is an excellent game (good enough that I was willing to port it to the amiga, so that I could play it over break.). To all amiga owners, enjoy! NOTE: Omega requires 1MB of memory! If you have access to FTP, then you can get it from: drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu in [.amiga-sig]omega.zoo It is also on a fred fish disk (230 I think). -Rick Golembiewski (rg20)

RE Omega Omega is also the name of a cyber-tank game from Origin, comparable to RobotWar, Crobots, Battledroids, and a myriad other titles. It's got a nice programming language, but it's also got some strange bugs and won't multitask. (It's another wonderful Micro Magic port...). I liked it when I first got it, but now I wouldn't recommend it unless they fix it. (And discover how programs on an Amiga SHOULD work!)

(It's another wonderful Micro Magic port...). I That's funny it seemed to work with VT100 well enough. It did do some weird things to WB though. I wish they had put the manual in some sort of binder as it's hard to lay the book open without having something really heavy to keep it open (wish I could find my book holder...8-)..).-- **************************************************************************** // || Hardware : A2000, 3 megs, 2 internal 3 1/2" drives \\ // || Future Purchases : SCSI Controller, 40-60 meg harddrives, A3000 \X/ || jimmy@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu or jimmy@uhccux.bitnet

I have a copy omega for the amiga compiler with my curses library. It is a good example of the performance of my curses V1.20. If you want a copy then email me and I will gladly send you one. I have posted to c.b.a. but I dont expect to see that come back for a while, Tad appears to be very busy at the moment. P.S. Rick Golemwielski I have lost your email address so get in touch if you want this to compare against your omega port. Cheers SJR
