PewPew TANKS:2600
A new game for colour 68K machines (68030 and 68040) with 640x480 displays at 8bit colour depth.
I was hoping to have a playable demo to release by this point, but still require a little bit (a lot)
more work on the tileset deployment logic before I'm happy to show the game play.
Inspired by, but not a straight clone of the ol' Atari 2600 classic COMBAT. More of a re-imagining of the Tank Pong portion of the game.
Some of the working & planned features...
- 2 tanks
- Top down view
- Think, Tank Pong with a capture the enemy flag theme meets Fire Power! on 68K System 7.
- Procedurally generated terrain maps from 2 different tilesets
- So far, a lava world and forest / ruins
- Multiple tank choices, each with different abilities and features
- Multiple background music choices to select from
- Mines and other power ups can be found throughout the play area
- Destructible terrain objects (walls, trees, etc..)
- Full source code & all resources will be included when (if?
) I get this done. 
More updates as they happen!
*Still updating Operation PewPew to fix some minor bugs, so expect a new release of that in the next few days as well!*
Happy #MARCHintosh!
