Lizards reborn

Some of you might remember that I’ve written a bunch of freeware video games – remakes of old Speccy and C64 titles. Out of interest, they’re available on http://www.yoyo.org/~jmd/games/. Anyway, it all started with a truly awful Repton clone called Lizards which I wrote in 1995 or thereabouts. The game was pretty bad, but did eventually become part of the standard Slackware Linux distribution (along with a giant security hole). Anyway, Lizards eventually evolved into Gemstorm on the PC – not very good and 3D for the sake of it. Well, I’ve decided that the time is right for a definitive version of Lizards, running under MacOS X. I’m having a play around with some level editor code this afternoon, to see what the mac is like for coding on.
