BuGS	Update the version to beta and remove online high scores from the todo list. I now have an implementation of that.	2021-06-06 00:24:35 -04:00
BuGS.xcodeproj	Major rework because I am out of code space in the main segment. Move some stuff around in the C code to get them into other segments. Change the network code so that most of its globals are actually allocated dynamically when network functionality is detected. Change the network state machine so the connection is closed and re-opened on each transaction rather than trying to hold the connection open. It was failing during the game because the network is not being polled. Provide some visual feedback if there is a network problem in the game itself.	2021-06-04 00:41:11 -04:00

BuGS

BuGS is an implementation of an arcade classic for the Apple //gs. You play the game using the mouse, moving your player to avoid the bugs and shoot them before they get you. If you have an ADB trackball, the game play is even better. The game supports stereo cards and when present, bugs travelling across the screen right to left will have their sound pan right to left matching their movement.

This game runs at 60 frames per second on a standard Apple //gs without an accelerator. It also works in some Apple //gs emulators. The MAME emulator is recommended because it works best however it is difficult to setup. Kelvin Sherlock's Ample is suggested for MacOS users looking for a simpler way to setup MAME. The KEGS emulator also works well as of v1.05. Please see the readme shipped in the distribution for more details about emulators, which work well with BuGS and which do not.
