Within the book, the HYDRA hardware is covered in detail with schematics, descriptions, and tips allowing you to take full advantage of its resources, including its expansion port and game card. Note: Printed book is black and white. The HYDRA is not only a game console, but a complete computer system with everything you need to get started exploring the fascinating world of game development and the new multiprocessing Propeller Chip! While this kit focuses on fun games, it is a pretty serious technical kit that requires intense study and effort. In general, its probably not a good surprise gift. The Hydra kit is for people who seriously want it and are prepared to do a lot of work. Activities:Written by best-selling game development author Andre LaMothe, the included book is your complete guide to developing games, graphics, and media applications for the Propeller Powered HYDRA Game console. The book assumes you have only basic programming experience in any BASIC or C-like language. It covers all aspects of the Propeller chip from its architecture to using the Propeller Tool IDE for programming in both Spin and assembly language, with numerous demo programs to use as starting points for your own games. Whats In The Box? Kit comes complete with HYDRA unit, book, 128K Memory card, Blank Experimenter card, mouse, keyboard, gamepad, video and USB cables, power supply, CD and more! Included on the CD is all the source code and executables for all the included games, demos, tools and examples. Additionally, HYDRA Tiny BASIC based on the Tiny BASIC specification originally published in Dr. Dobbs Journal in 1975 is included. With this classic version of BASIC you can write programs directly on the HYDRA without the need for a PC! Simply load BASIC into the HYDRA or on the included game cartridge and you are up and running with nothing more than your TV and keyboard.
