Trackballs is a simple game similar to the classical game Marble Madness
|
|
on the Amiga in the 80's. By steering a marble ball through a labyrinth
|
|
filled with vicious hammers, pools of acid and other obstacles the player
|
|
collects points. When the ball reaches the destination it continues
|
|
at the next, more difficult level - unless the time runs out.
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that this game is not intended to be a replica of
|
|
marble madness but rather inspired by it. For instance the game uses
|
|
advanced 3D graphics even though the original game had no real use for
|
|
it. Also we aim at making the game highly configurable by a scripting
|
|
extension (Guile) and provide a simple editor by which new levels easily
|
|
can be created. The current status of the project is very early in
|
|
development and is thus barely playable.
|
|
|
|
You start /Trackballs/ by giving the command 'trackballs' which
|
|
instructs the game to load the first level. If you wish to cheat or simply
|
|
are testing out a level you are currently designing you can give the command
|
|
'trackballs -l foo' which jumps to level "foo".
