Piccy of AndrewOne of the greatest features of Zzap was it's Diary of a Game section, very early on in Zzap career Andrew also did a diary for his game Paradroid, and now he's back detailing his exploits for the game Morpheus. This diary is particularly interesting, both from a technical (how certain effects are done) and a process (all the effects surrounding a games development) point of view. I wonder how many readers these diaries inspired to learn how to program and attempt to write their own games. I know from reading this diary myself while compiling it for the site, that I was almost tempted to get out the 'ol C64 and start coding on it again (I'm sure the enthusiasm for that would have died pretty quickly!). Anyway enough of the waffle, let's get on with the diary (there's enough of it to get through).
