It's been a while since I've done any releaseable work on it, so it's now available from http://www.tribbeck.com/software/aced/ - there's a list of new bits on it if you're interested.
Note that I'm kinda getting ready for a final release, and then I'll get back on to Equinox. |

I've now copied over the new graphics, and corrected the text a bit (I hadn't realised that some of the additions were in the earlier version  ). |

Wow, those graphics look nice. The graphics in the RISC OS version of the game are much lower quality. (Less colours and lower resolution.) Would it be possible to do a 800x600 or 1024x768 version for RISC OS? I'm sure the Iyonix and A9 could cope with more than the 640x480 graphics. |

Probably; the PC version has been targetted at 800x600; 1024x768 should also be possible from a technical standpoint.
Building the two different versions in the same source directory is tricky though (a lot of the resolution is coded at compile-time, rather than run-time for speed)
I may be able to go into 640x480x16 for those graphics (I'm double-screen buffering, but there's no absolute need for it when these are used).
In case anyone's interested, the graphics were done in Lightwave 9 (http://www.newtek.com/lightwave/)
Edited to add: Thanks, btw!

LOLs - using the Acorn Arcade theme, we definitely know what you're doing!
Pity I didn't notice until your post count was 667 though

 Cheers,

 Suppose you were an idiot. Suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

So, will there be an AcornArcade write up? |

16bpp - changing the screen size is a bit more complex than changing the bpp, and only using 1 screen bank will allow me to either change the resolution, or the bpp.
Doing either is actually quite tricky, and to be honest, this isn't meant to be a world class game - so I'll have to see if it's worth it.
And now it's 669 posts... |

Is Aced still not suitable for the A9? I read the stuff on the website and ReadMe, but haven't tried running it yet. :worried: |

Umm - I've run it on the A9 - but I was given a special video driver at the time; I'm not sure if it's been released yet, so ask Ad6 if it has. |
