[comp.sys.amiga.games] UNIX/Amiga interactive

specter@disk.UUCP (Byron Max Guernsey) (11/18/90)

I'm currently playing with the idea of a multi-user tank game using the
Unix system here as a host and client/server for all the amiga users. As
far as I can see, it has been a sinch. MY biggest problem has been making
an acceptable amiga "game" (or terminal) for it. 

Don't laugh now: All my efforts for the terminal now have been in amigabasic.
Why you ask? I don't know how to do graphics in Amiga C and I'm not sure
how to do them in Pascal either (I have the PCQ pd pascal compiler..its pretty
nice). All I want to be able to do is display saved images (DPaint brushes)
on the screen.

If you have some routines that demonstrate using the modem port in PCQ pascal,
I would kill for them! If you had some demonstrating display of Dpaint 
brushes in it, I might even pay you. haha. 

Anyway, If I get the needed information, I may feel the need to give the program
to the comp.sources.amiga group or something. The unix end is easy. The
communications between the two could be a problem...but i think I have that
solved.

Are there any games like this existing? I heard something about flight simulator
and genie or something like that, but I'm talking PD unix programs.
