buzz.

[egypturnash]

I wrote some stuff to abstract the controller; now buzzbuzz will guide you through figuring out which joysticks are which. And I'm playing with some behavior for when you make the wasps scatter.

So if you have a gamepad and a Mac, or you have a gamepad and Windows and the will to grab the demo of Blitzmax and compile it, enjoy some wasps and let me know if flying them around is a basically entertaining experience. I'm still debating with the thought of switching to a different language, as Blitz just keeps tripping me up...

Worked for me

with the config file. Sprite flicker made the swarm hard to see up until I had about 100 bees on the screen. (I'm using a G3/700, so I don't think my processor's overdoing it.) Seems neat, ala Robotron 2084. It's nifty eye candy, at any rate.

Got the inspiration right. *grin*

Hm, I thought I was beamsynching. Guess not. Of course, I'm also trying to make your machine match my laptop's display, so who knows what's happening...
