Description:
A set of technologies designed to make life easier for game
developers. They are designed specifically to provide the
functionality that games need on the Macintosh: drawing to the screen,
handling input devices, setting up multiplayer games, and simulating
3D sound sources. Most of these technologies are slowly being rolled
into the general Mac OS system software releases so that at some
point, the Sprockets will exist solely to provide compatibility with
older versions of Mac OS. This release includes the following Game
Sprockets updates.
SoundSprocket 1.0 - lets you hear 3D sound effects in some
applications with only two speakers connected to your computer.
NetSprocket 1.1.1 - lets you play games with other players over an
AppleTalk or TCP/IP network.
InputSprocket 1.4 - provides support for using joysticks, keyboards,
mice, and other input devices when playing games on your Macintosh
computer.
DrawSprocket 1.1.4 - provides support for viewing game images,
including setting screen resolution and color depth, choosing a
monitor (on computers with multiple monitors), accelerating screen
updates, and other features.
For complete information, please see the documents included with this
software.
