Written by best-selling game development author
Andre’ LaMothe, the included book is your complete guide to developing games,
graphics, and media applications for the Propeller Powered HYDRA Game console.
The book assumes you have only basic programming experience in any BASIC or
C-like language. It covers all aspects of the Propeller chip from its
architecture to using the Propeller Tool IDE for programming in both Spin and
assembly language, with numerous demo programs to use as starting points for
your own games.
Included on the CD is all the source code and executables for all the included
games, demos, tools and examples. Additionally, “HYDRA Tiny BASIC” based on
the “Tiny BASIC” specification originally published in “Dr. Dobb’s
Journal” in 1975 is included. With this classic version of BASIC you can write
programs directly on the HYDRA without the need for a PC! Simply load BASIC into
the HYDRA or on the included game cartridge and you are up and running with
nothing more than your TV and keyboard.
The HYDRA is not only a game console, but a complete computer system with
everything you need to get started exploring the fascinating world of game
development and the new multiprocessing Propeller Chip!
