==== Duo Blast ===== You will need to use sprite pad to draw 3 sprites. Actually, just draw two triangles. One that points up and another that points down. Finally draw a small square or a dot then save the lot. Now try this Acme Cross Assembler routine. === source === Creating your first game ;This is an example tutorial for you to ;learn how to create your own 2 player ;Shot 'em Up, which includes joystick ;control, a score system, etc. ;Let's setup the perameters for our ;game.
