Well, it's turning out surprisingly well (not
great, but
better than I was expecting.) So now I'm thinking to add
sound, but apart from some MIDI programming, I really haven't
done any audio programming before (unless you count some
Extended BASIC code on a ti99/4a back in the '80s -- and
nobody would count that.)
Another pretty easy way to do retro-style music and sound effects
would be to embed a mod player library, eg mikmod:
http://mikmod.raphnet.net/doc/libmikmod-3.1.10/docs/mikmod.html
You could then use a mod tracker for composing the game music.
Back in the early 90s there were some pretty cool games that used this
approach (StarCon2 anyone? ... holy crap, it's been open-sourced!
