[A]tari [G]ame [T]ools




Feel the power of the Atari STe!!

Here are new videos made using "AGT" by Douglas Little. A.G.T. stands for Atari Game Tools and is intended for the much under-utilised Atari STe. Each video shows the potential of this jaw-dropping game engine. Doug has a thread on Atari-Forum detailing more information. He also has a bitbucket website with tutorials.

Doug has an impressive history and it's amazing what he is doing with AGT. I can only hope the Atari community picks up the gauntlet. Can you imagine what new games we could play! Staggering potential...

  • Full support for the Atari STe hardware.
  • 8-way (or 4-way) scrolling.
  • Horizontal-only scrolling.
  • Overscan- Increased resolutions.
  • Vertical-only scrolling.
  • Scroll rate from 0 to +/-16 pixels per frame on each axis.
  • Map size up to 32768 x 32768 pixels.
  • Highly configurable for different kinds of games!
 



I look forward to seeing how our community utilises AGT.
"Happy STE coding"
