I ported Crimson Fields to the Gp2x. It is a nice strategy game.
You can download it there :

More info about the game :

Any comments are welcome.
Hello and thanks for the port !
I mailed to the crimson fields mailing list hoping you'll see the mail, but here it is :
First of all, congratulations from Paris for the game !
Unfortunately i'm not in university anymore to play this game during classes.
Well, here are some issues/suggestions I've thought playing the crimson gp2x port v1 :
- When I press start (the equivalent to 'e', End Turn), quite often it's like I kept start pressed : it's always the opponent's turn, I don't know if it's related to the way I press the start button (something like : quick == 2 or more press, very quick == 1 normal press, normal == a lot of press...)
- As I can't use start to end my turn, I use to press the left shoulder button (equivalent to Escape) to display the right-click menu.
But in "keyboard mode", the joystick's sensibility is too high, a normal "joystick-down" action walks 2 or more steps (example : to "Map", then "Level Info"), is it possible to reduce this sensibility just for the menus ?
- Same thing for similar menus like "content" of personnal carriers and other stuffs
- Once it's computer's turn, the game is in "mouse mode", and it's not possible to reach the "stop" button to stop viewing opponent's operations << forget that one, a double "B" press does the job
- When displaying "building actions" (like factories), the only way to reach repair/produce buttons is to use "Mouse mode". Maybe we could set this mode by default in buildings, then return to the mode the user was playing once exited ?
And the reply from the main developer :
Hi Laurent.

Unfortunately, information about the GP2X port is pretty sparse. I don't
have the code, and I don't even know who made the port, so there is
little that can be done about GP2X-specific issues.

Voilà, hope you'll see this message
