An Opengl card, you say? Man I need a new laptop, even a netbook would do at this point :D The game in that screenshot looks very nice, is it something you're working on?

You're welcome. The guys who worked on the GP2X version did a really nice job, and all hardware-specific things were in a single file just waiting to be taken out. The game is really hard though, I don't think I ever got past the first bridge or if I did I died soon after.

I compiled the GP2X version and lowered the default volume. It's in the archive, source is included in the package. Install by extracting the "game" folder to your SD card.

Nice game, I really liked it on the GP2X and on Wiz it controls even better. Looking forward to volume controls, make sure the default sound is low so I can start it up with headphones on :D Glad to see you sorted out the speed problems, is this entirely because you're using Bennu instead of...

Nice one Iprice, this will be a killer game once you make one of the action buttons be "up". Could it be possible to start with a lower default volume, too? I'm running firmware 1.1.0 by the way, these are the paths you want Ghaleon: SD_CARD/game/balloonacy.app SD_CARD/game/balloonacy.app.ini...

How many Vektar sales did you make Craig? Vektar was a very professional and polished game, knowing this should give us a good idea of how things stand.

Will you guys release an official SDK at some point? There are many ways to develop Wiz software already, but a neatly packaged SDK with everything you need for Windows/Mac/Linux would perhaps be more attractive to newcomers. Kind of like that DevC++ bundle you made for the GP2X in 2005, but...

You will face this same problem with any other language you'll try, you must spend some time compiling and messing around with all the code in the tutorial until you understand every single bit of it. I guarantee that coding a lifebar will be second nature to you after that, it's just a matter...

Prehistorik! Last time I tried it on GP2X it did not work, but perhaps compatibility improved since then? Glad to see ZX-81 supporting the Wiz, multumesc ZX! :)

You write little text scripts that call the application along with arguments, example on the wiki.

The last SDL fix really killed performance and had to be taken out, are GPH working on a different solution now?

That's Sqdef, it's one of the built-in games. The images on GPH's site are from an older version, I changed the graphics about one year ago so it looks a bit different now.

Runs great on firmware 1.1 satacoy. The screen's pixel density is so high that I doubt there's any visual downside from using nearest neighbour filtering. Alpha blending seems to be quite speedy too, finally one less limitation to worry about :)

Why would you not?

Did you just move it two weeks earlier? Either way, might as well make something quick and silly just for kicks :) Nice idea!

Not everything compiled with the old GP2XSDK works on Wiz, it's hit and miss - at least the math libs are outdated, so trigonometric and sqrt functions return garbage. Compiling with the Open2x toolchain and libs has worked flawlessly so far though! I hope GPH won't switch to EABI now, the last...

You have two options to return to the menu, one is to insert the following at the end of your main: chdir("/usr/gp2x"); execl("gp2xmenu", "gp2xmenu", NULL); return 0; } And the other is to call your program from a script, #!/bin/sh ./YourProgram.gpe cd /usr/gp2x exec ./gp2xmenu

I finally gave Windows the boot, been running Debian Lenny for the last three days and loving it! :)

Finally, one of the few GP2X/Wiz articles that bothers to mention open development and the existence of homebrew games. :) Hopefully things will soar once GPH will release their SDK and more people get coding.

Relax. There seem to be exactly 70 Wiz games out so far, so why not spend the next two weeks trying 5 new ones every day? :)
