Backbone2
---------
NOTE: There are two archives for Backbone2. Backbone2_main.Lha contains all
the main programs and files to run it. Backbone2_ex.Lha contains several
example projects including the graphics and sound to go with them. These
will be very useful if you've never used Backbone before!

What Is It?
-----------
A game creation system that requires no programming knowledge at all.
Capable of creating various types of games including:
Side Viewed (such as Mario Bros)
Above Viewed (such as Chaos Engine)
Both Space type, Platform type, Cannon Fodder type... you name it!
You simply create the graphics (or use the examples supplied) and set the
various options (speed of player, placement of enemies etc.)

Very powerful with huge potential and will continue to be improved as 
long as I get some feedback!!!

Latest Version
--------------
New for version 2. Now runs as a Workbench application. Full Gad Tools
interface, any screen mode!
Read the AmigaGuide manual for full details on all updates.

V2.04
-----
-Fixed problem where you couldn't click on the very top part of a screen
 such as in the block editor.
-Bug that meant you couldn't select Ghost Mode fixed.
-Adjusted the Create Game process slightly. Now uses less temporary space
 but may take longer to create.
-Fixed editing of Overhead baddies
-Overhead baddies now included. They should work just like the side viewed
 baddies.
-Adjusted example 4 to include some overhead baddies.
-Fixed level editor to allow overhead baddies to be correctly faced.
-Made arrow heads larger for those people who don't use MCP.
-Option to automatically play test a game as soon as it is created.
-Make level editing easier by being able to hold down mouse button as you
 draw the map.
-Changed Menu Layout slightly to incorporate more Create Options.
-Fixed optimisation as it wasn't working! Full optimisation should now make
 a noticable difference to your games.
-Fixed stupid bug that appeared in V2.02 which meant baddies facing left
 could never hurt you! Whoops!
-Slider bars can now be seen properly even if you don't use the GadTools
 option in MCP. 
-Fixed bug do to with baddies that could jump forever....
-Error messages in  the actual game are re-enabled.
-Small screen sizes now work.
-Saving with large block banks now improved.
-Fixed bug to do with Baddies "Staying Whilst on Screen" when they die.
-'Copy from Default' on the player frames section works better.
-Fall Speed not Blanked out for Baddies that still need it.
-Can no longer select zero object on level editor conditions.
-Set condition area on Level Ed gives more time between clicks.
-Frames can no longer be set to zero in edit player frames section.
-Preferences program changed a bit. A few fixes and more menu options. Now
 capable of saving to any preferences file.
-Extra option in the level editor where you can add coloured gradient effect
 called a rainbow in the background. 
-Adjusted example 2 to show rainbows.
-Fixed bug that had appeared in V2.03 where scenes set to play before or
 after a level didn't work.
-Fixed a problem where 64 colours (EHB) mode wasn't being displayed
 properly in Backbone (although it was fine in the finished game).
-Changed preferences to allow you more blocks. 800 is now the maximum.
-Image Editor fixed a bit. You now press P to cut out a frame and a few
 other points are fixed too.
-Improved optimisation of overhead objects.
