The game

• Full arcade game, with 5 levels, 5 weapons (+ dynamite), more than 500 sprites
• Screen resolution of 320x240, 256 colors
• Multi-layer scrolling (3 layers in level 2)
• Colormapped sprites (same sprites used in different color sets)
• 8-bit stereo sounds effects:), panned depending on sound emitters. MOD/S3M music.
• Can record and playback game demos, even over levels or the whole game.

The engine

• Programmed in C
• DOS version coded in DJGPP with Allegro and JGMOD
• Win version coded in MSVC with Allegro and FMOD
• Runs fine on anything from P166/DOS in Mode X, to P600/W98 DirectX 8
• Display synchronizes on monitor refresh rate, for smooth scrolling.
• Game speed is independant from CPU clock, default 72Hz, but user-adjustable from 1 to 65535 (good luck!)
• Demos are platform-independant (had to write a specific random number generator)
• All the AI is controlled by a custom programming language that I designed. I won't bore you with it, lets just say it's precompiled, interpreted, multitasking, and lightning-fast : compiles 100Kb sources in about 1 second, then needs 0.5% cpu at runtime for all the game logic
