Game/Entertainment
Software Guidelines


The following points should be followed...

●  Instalable on a harddisk

●  Should be able to be launched from any video resolution

●  The user should be presented with a single executable file; leave ancillary data files, high score files, etc. inside a companion folder.

●  Allow the user to exit and return to the desktop exactly where and how s/he left off.

●  Use the Falcon enhanced joystick for all joystick-oriented games; CX-40 style controls should not be supported.

●  Ideally, where possible, allow the game to be run in a window; this is well-suited for users that want to play games in the MultiTOS multi-tasking environment (such as while downloading a file).

●  We expect most users to run in 640x480x256 color mode; you may want to keep this in mind.

●  If you use the O/S call, vr_trn_fm() (transform form), you can easily convert video data from standard form to the correct form for the current resolution.
