TNT BASIC 1.3 Released as Freeware
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 colors on screen!)
- Lightning fast sprite engine (supports anti-aliasing and translucency!)
- Hardware accelerated 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 coloring, your code is colored automatically to make it easier to read

- Mac OS X compatible
