Overview:
This is a work-in-progress game inspired by the classic shooter Geometry Wars.
I wrote all of this code myself over the past few months using my old
3D engine PolyNova (which I wrote 30 years ago for DirectX).
I haven't coded my own game for about 40 years so I thought it was
about time I did another one :)
As this game is only a work in progress, lots of features are still missing.
Requirements:
1) PiStorm/WinUAE
2) RTG output
3) A 2 button digital joystick
Configuration:
You do not need to install any 3rd party libraries.
Have a look at the G-WARS.INI and WB ToolTypes for various settings.
The log file will output the average FPS on exit.
The escape key will quit.
Any errors/warnings should be written to a log file.
Performance Considerations:
Update the G-WARS.INI if it is running slowly on your specific setup
to disable features.
Limitations:
1) No 3D hardware support
2) Only 16bit color depth is supported
3) Only 640x480 resolution supported
