 | Another J.D. Casten game converted to OpenGL. This game was a total nightmare to convert to GL.
There's a lot of stuff going on, even if it does not look like it, and handling things like the
moving platforms, disappearing floor and the arrows took a lot of fancy coding.
Taken right from the magazine: In Risky Rescue, you play the part of a creature named
Igneous. Your arch enemy, Greedo the goblin, has kidnapped your sweet baby Iggy and holds him
captive in his creepy caves. He's put Iggy in a trance, and your only hope of rescuing the baby
is to get medicine from three medicine pots and then touch him. To get medicine from a pot,
land on it. Meanwhile, Greedo is throwing deadly arrows at you. The best way to avoid them is
usually to move up and hover while they fly by. Sometimes, though, there's no room to maneuver,
so you must use careful timing to get through the tight spots.
Hope someone finds this game entertaining... took about 3 hours to convert from Atari Basic to
OpenGL for Windows (Visual C++).

Greets to J.D. Casten Wherever you are...
P.S. Some video cards break the tiles for some reason (lines appear between tiles). Run Windowed
and adjust the window until the screen looks correct.
Atari Forever!!!
