  • Operation Pew Pew! released

    From Sebastian P.@3:633/10 to All on Friday, February 06, 2026 19:40:22
    "A little side scrolling space shooter to pass the time... and who doesnt like to Pew Pew! things?"

    Featuring...

    - Horizontally scrolling parallax star field background like it's the 1989 Demoscene!
    - Pumping MOD background music
    - Digital sound FX (pewpew!)
    - Custom sprites
    - Fully commented source code and CodeWarrior PRO 4 project folder with libraries, etc.. available


    Fun little game, despite aiming at the SE/30 and System 7, it runs fine on OS 9
    as well. Though the game's screen is tucked to the upper-left corner. But impressive.

    Since the sources come with it, in case somebody is looking for a programming project on classic Mac OS ... how about forking it and turning this into a colorful, high resolution side-scrolling shooter for Mac OS 9? ;-)

    Right, it looks like fun but will it run on my M1 Mini?

    My wife would have loved it.

    J.

    Perhaps a good time to get that SE/30 out of the closet again? :-)

    Well, and there are emulators like Basilisk or Mini vMac running on M1 Minis ...

    Thanks, I will give it a whirl - I?ll try it on my OS9 MDD first but will
    also give it a spin on my 7.6.1 PM9600, too. :)
