My Avigo Apps
Most applications I wrote and will write for the Avigo are games.
You can see their descriptions plus screenshots here , for
downloading please visit my
favourite avigo page
( I prefer to have my stuff at one place , and they have counters !).
All my Apps are freeware or commentware.
If you have any comments or suggestions , mail me to mail at kochandreas.com

Important
Currently, i don't have much time to continue with Avigo development because of various
"real life" issues. I don't want to say i stop developing for the Avigo, but i don't expect
too much in the next few years :-/
Latest news: i have disassembled my Avigo to have a look at the hardware. Unfortunately
it's too packed and complex for my limited knowledge on electronics, but i can't decide
to re-assemble it yet either...
Released Apps
Shoot
Most downloads of all my apps , and it's worth it !Shoot is a space
arcade , with different enemys ,extra weapons ,shields , etc. ...It is
a bit difficult , I guess thats why I never got complaints about the buggy
higher levels ;)
Status : discontinued
Eagle Lab
This isn't a real game , just a quick implementation to test my 3D engine
.If features a 32*32 maze , wich can be
explored step by step , 90° turns,1 Wall texture , 1 Sprite.Your
goal : Run into all the eagles.
Status : discontinued , but I might write an other game with this engine.
See : "Endad"
Chessboard
The name is the game. This is just a Chessboard , with no computer player
, that allows you to play chess
against an other human (or yourself). Simple analytical functions(mark
covered tiles).
Status : discontinued , but did several tries to make chess with computer player .
Unfortunately, this is not easy, especially if one tries to port a
"portable" chess app to the Avigo :(
Mind It
Ok, the graphics are not the strength of this one , but it plays quite
nicely. Your avigo will blink one of the six
fields , you have to tip it . Then your Avigo will blink two fields
, then three ...
Status : discontinued
Boulder Fun
One of the fanciest boulderdash-clones ever seen! Features about 30 different
things to explore, 28 (10 used...)levels, password system for higher levels, key
or touchscreen controll ... for days of fun ! I am quite shure it will
get a place on the Avigo-top-ten !
And even better: You allways wanted to create Avigo games, but you
are no programmer? No problem !
With the release of Boulder Fun I will release my editor, which will
allow you to build your own freeware
bouderdash games, with all new levels, and even with new graphics
! This apps will be completely
stand-alone apps and if you wish you can include your name and email !
Status : discontinued. No one creates own levels. Why? Frustration....
Roguelike
 |
 |
 |
| Your town has been raided! |
Search in the sewers.. |
...but know when to run |
Looks cool, eh? This is a "role playing" game for the Avigo. More or less.
You descent through randomly created mazes
, slay monsters and collect items.
Status: Update V1.4 Released. DOS-Version 1.4 in my freeware section
Only feedback from two people, seems the Avigo is dieing....
AviPic
Bored of the small, not even full-screen pictures you can view on
your Avigo? Pictureview allows compressed pictures, with virtually
unlimited size....
Status : Released. Discontinued
Release 1 (available on PMSSYSTEM) is complete and working. It
is limited on 16K resulting app size, comes with a comfortable
Windows app to get your pictures into an app, and has a 50% zoom.
Release 2 Changes to Release 1:
Display routines now in Assembler, a good bit faster (allthough not
as fast as i planned), optional FAST full pic zoom out replacing the
slow 50% zoom, supports apps larger than 16K (currently 16K to 64K,
any larger sizes should be no problem.
Apps in Development/Stasis
Hexe
An hexadecimal editor which allows you to watch all RAM and FLASH
in your Avigo, edit the RAM, and perhaps disassemble code...
Route planer
This one is intended for calculation which train to take. You enter the
locations, timetables and routes in a text file on
your PC , and run a tool to modify the app. On your Avigo , tip on
start and target , adjust the time and the quickest
route will be calculated.
Status : Done but don't work ;) , little motivation for debugging ....
Space Commander
Know this "Star Trek", "Enterprise" , etc. games where you patrol several
sectors for klingons , scan , repair , land
on planets for dilithium ..... just what I want to create. Plus as
much extra features as I can stuff in !!!!!
Status : Intro done, further development suspended
Planned Apps
This are apps I have planend , but did not much work yet. The following
list is sorted by priority (top most) , but is
subject to rapid changes , especally as I need further hardware info
for some of these , and others are just LOTS
of work ....
Beeing a bit demotivated because of the low BoulderFun feedback , i will implement something
that *I* want to have as next app ;) ... probably Space commander or Endad .
Endad
My best candidate for the game using the EAGLE HUNT engine.
Will be a small role-playing game : Roam a randomly generated dungeon
search chests , fight randomly apperaing monsters , get better armor,
weapon and spells . There will be 4 differenty "base" enemies , which
can wildly mutate , elemental based attacks/spells , etc.
Will probably be quite large (64k-128k)
Status : Chanceled, will be replaced by Roque and AviGoom.
Update : Having direct display access now, it could be possible to write a
version with more textures than Eagle Hunt, or even with non-rectangular walls!\
(i don't hope for floor & ceiling textures or free rotation - yet...)
Avigo Chess
Thanks to the sourcecode of a chess engine a good spirit supplied , I will
try to create a chessboard with computer
player for the avigo.
Status : Portability of the engine seems lower than expected.
Additional BASIC examples aqquired, but it seems to be the worst spagetti
code i've ever seen...
Will see what i can do , but it costs too much nerves for rapic success ;)
Translator
Word translator for the Avigo. Based on Huffman-packed ASCII tranlsation files
Status : Low priority.
Key Keeper
App that will encrypt several small keys (like credit card PINs) very savely
, using one master password for all.
Status : 1 Request
Come and Conquer
Command and Conquer-clone for Avigo . Will be heavily reduced (same units
for both sides , total 8 different units ,
something like this ...) .
Status : Need to check if technically possible
AvigoCiv
Civilazation clone for Avigo . Will be at least reduced by the "video"
sequences !
Status : Much work , will be done when I have *MUCH* time ....
AviGoom
Doom clone for Avigo. Probably no height levels, no floor or ceiling
textures.
Status : Need to check how fast the calculations can be . DOS+WIN
prototypes.
AviAngelo
Paint app. Larger than screen bitmaps , grayscale viewer , packed images
, zoom , etc...
Status : 50% done, but nasty bugs remain.
VectorVigo
Vector paint app.
Status : planned
Composer
Allows to create and play melodies , and save them to a textfile (to exchange
via IrExchange)
Status : Low priority.
CommSuite
Read and write EMail and News, browse the Web, all through a standard
modem connected to the Avigos serial port. Will be REALLY large...
excpect 64K absolute minimum....
Status : High complexity, low priority... alone the TCP/IP stack is
a HUGE bit of work...
AvigoXT
A very limited XT PC emulator. GFX up to 320*200 MCGA, 40*25 text, 8086 processor,
very litte RAM :)
Status : partial windows based emulator
AvigoBoy
A Gameboy emulator, limited too. No sound, no full speed, limited compability
(not all games will work).
Status : reading GB specs :). It seems that no one did a GB emu with
partial native code execution yet....
Hardware related Apps
This are apps I have planend , but did not much work yet, and which
will need special hardware (an Atmel AVR microcontroller, usually.
Costs about $5) to work.
AvigoSwitch
Use your Avigo with a little Hardware extension (based on a ATMEL AVR
Microcontroller) to controll various hardware using 13 I/O-ports, or
sample voltage data, temperatures, etc.
Status : Still searching a practical use for this...
AvigoTV
Watch TV on your Avigo! With a little hardware extension
(ATMEL AVR based), your Avigo (or any other device with a serial
port) can display a video signal (from a camera, video recorder,etc)
at 128*85 monochrome pixels with several frames/second...
AvigoSmart
Will allow you to connect cheap, large Smartmedia cards
(as used in cameras) to your avigo for mass storage.
AvigoScope
Using an high speed A/D chip plus an AVR you can sample
analogue data at up to 2Mhz (for 256 Samples) on your Avigo.
AvigoPrint
Connect any printer-port non-gdi printer to your Avigo and
print memos, addresses and graphics!
