This is a small intro to pay tribute to PSYGNOSIS and the superb AGONY on AMIGA. The most difficult was to recover and divert the SPRITES.
The archive contains some of the images (sprites and mod are in datasection), the code, the images.
Use Arrows to move the Owl.

I've never played the game before, but I like it haha. :)
-
It's a beautiful and hard game, I've never finished it :/
It was one of the best pixel art at that time and I'm pretty sure still impressive for today's standards.

Nice! K++ for sharing the source. :)
-
Great looking! Thanks for source share also!

You may have just inspired me to dig out my old Psygnosis games and bash some buttons again. I feel an small demo coming on... ;)

Had a similar idea... :D

Been a bit busy lately but have managed to put together a little demo along similar lines as ~Ar-S~. I've gone for a minimalist approach to colour on this one but it did start off very differently. :-X
Written as usual in PB, standard libraries except the music library.

Well, as Matthew said 'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find...etc, etc'
Here's the circular scrolling code for that screen. it will need to be adapted for whatever you want to do with it though. No promises on how easy that will be ;D
Code and font in the attached zip file here. Enjoy.

;Scrolling sprite circle demo code for DBF
;Author: KrazyK
;Language: PureBasic
;-This code was completely dreamt up after I decided to give this effect a try at last.
;-It works like this:
;[1] Calculate the x&y positions on a set circle size into an array.
;[2] Draw the scroll letters on a straight sprite for the scroller.
;[3] Clip the straight sprite, read the x & y positions from the array and draw the clipped scroller at those positions.
;I've written it this way as intended to do some additional effects to the scroller ssprite strip first before clipping it.
;In this example though no extra effects have been done.
;This piece of code has been taken directly from my Psy Demo so it is particular to that screen.
;Feel free to adapt it to whatever you need.

I may have missed the boat a bit, but my Psygnosis tribute demo should be coming soonish! New music written using the original samples from Shadow of the Beast, updated graphics almost complete... now just to piece it all together!
