TNT Basic for Mac

From TNT Software:

TNT Basic uses a simple programming language to allow a novice programmer to make 2D sprite based games very easily. All editing is done through an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which supports pretty printing of code, integrated command help, a tile based map editor, sprite image editor, sound importer and music importer (most tracker formats are supported as well as MP3). TNT Basic has the following features:

• 16 bit graphics (Over 32,000 colours on screen!)
• Lightning fast sprite engine (supports anti-aliasing and translucency!)
• Hardware accelarated graphics (uses OpenGL)
• Stereo panning sound support
• Advanced music engine (supports MP3 and many tracker music formats including MOD, MAD, MIDI, SoundTracker and OctaMed)
• TCP/IP and AppleTalk game networking - play your friends over the internet!
• Build standalone games which don't need TNT Basic to run
• Load and save hi-scores and saved games
• Automatic joystick, mouse, keyboard and speech input support
• Integrated development environment, manage everything from code to music from one application!
• Syntax colouring, your code is coloured automatically to make it easier to read
• Integrated help, just highlight a command in your code and hit cmd-? to find out more about it
• Mac OS X compatible

Feedback can also be posted to the TNT Basic feedback forum.

We're trying to kickstart a more open discussion there, where we can discuss requested features and allow the users to influence TNT Basic's development.
