Ooops, sory, I should have mentionned that, I used {Start} button to immediatly exit lotech engine (what is the SDLKey of the Pandora button?).

Just press Enter and prepare your reflexes, but you already figure-it out.

Yes, exactly. My kids loves it

About Online scoring.

Of course it should be possible to switch from the integrated leaderboard to C4A (at least I assume it is, I haven't looked at it, but it's lua, so it shouldn't be too different from Not Tetris), but that will make 6 new entries on c4a...

Also, I'll need 6 marquees for it, as there is 6 worlds to unlock (see http://www.boson-x.com/ for the names of the levels).

Thanks ptitSeb, the game is very fun.

 

[mcobit]

I think the Pandorabutton is the super/windows key.

 

[ptitSeb]

New update on the repo. I added many keys. So the buttons of the Pandora can be used, and the Shoulder button too.

Build 02

-----------

• {A}/{B}/{Y} mirror the DPad and can be used now
• Shoulder button can also be used (use both to jump straight)

Usually I am too slow for these kind of games, but I can really feel how I am making progress and become better the longer I play. This makes it really addictive! Also the music alone makes it worth playing (and it looks fantastic, too), I really love it!

I think it does not work with the 4.10 driver, at least the first build was just showing a black screen the last time I tried. (No big deal though, I stay with 4.03 for now anyway)

 

[ptitSeb]

I used SDL+eglport. This combinaison doesn't seems to works with 4.10. I'll try to investigate soon (I used this combinaison quite often).

 

[mcobit]

You might have to use direct framebuffer mode with eglport to make it work with this driver if you are not already doing that.


I think notaz mentioned something like this.

 

[ptitSeb]

Yes I will do that later. Force FB mode (I have to do that for mupen also).

 

[sswam]

I sincerely want to pay for this game! have been playing it on PC Linux too.

Thanks for the port.

 

[Klumpen]

I suck at this game and I know exactly why:

You have to break the rhythm of the music all the time with your actions

and I tend to press too short, too long, too early or too late because of the rhythm.

Very great game though, it's a bit like Skyroads which was the first Dos game on my Pandy:

[ptitSeb]

New version. Refined a bit the controls and make the egl context compatible by default with latest drivers.

Build 03

-----------

• {Start} is now same as "Enter" and can be used to start a game
• Emergency quit is now {Select}-q
• Version compatibles with latest SGX drivers

 

[FBnil]

Thank you ptitSeb. The Radion level is crazy... still can not manage to pass that level.

edit: passed that. Now trying the next weird level, But I keep ricocheting off walls, or plainly slam into them, or jump into the void, expecting there will be a pad there, but it does not form there.

 

[ptitSeb]

Thank you ptitSeb. The Radion level is crazy... still can not manage to pass that level.

My kid has unlocked all levels... but hasn't beaten the last one yet

 

[doragasu]

I have been playing it a bit today and it's a really fun game. Like Monkfish wrote, an advance version of the great Canabalt.

Thanks!

 

[Ziz]

Thank you ptitSeb. The Radion level is crazy... still can not manage to pass that level.

I stock at the same point! All levels unlocked, but the last one is really tough.However, this is a very addictive and awesome game! Thanks for that.

Edit: You thought about C4A support. I made a library for C4A, may I help you with the C4A support? C4A for this game would be really awesome!
