Name: GameSprockets Version: 1.5 Released: December 1, 1998 Requires: North American English Mac OS 7.6, 7.6.1, 8.0, 8.1 or 8.5 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. Instructions: This software consists of a self-mounting Disk Copy compressed image (.smi) file.
