Garden Of Coloured Lights: Portable?

Could be very interesting.
But do you want to keep the .bmp and .wave Formats of the game onto the GP2X? Seems to be a little bit of wasted SD Space all these uncompressed formats. PNG/Gif or .mp3 etc sounds much better for me.

The BMPs are run length encoded so they are (slightly) compressed. The wavs and BMPs total are less than 1 MB, so it's not a big deal.

I'm not what other formats allegro takes. I might have a look when it's functional.

 

[fusion_power]

1MB? Thats OK.
I first thought, that entire Music tracs are in .wav ^^""

 

[Parkydr]

Get it here.

I tried it out. Nice game.

According to the Readme, the A button is for slowing down your movement, but I find it hard to use at the same time with the B button. I also can't notice the difference in my speed when I hold the button down. :huh:

Thanks for the port.


EDIT: I noticed that you die from touching the strings behind the bullets. In the PC version, you won't die from them. Is this a bug? :huh:

 

[Parkydr]

I couldn't get the slow button to do anything noticeable on either the PC or GP2X. I can see what it does in the code.

I'll have a look at the collisions.

Hi,

Thanks for your hard work Parkydr !

I'll play this game a lot and post my thoughts and wishes here

At the moment I feel like I'm playing a kind of portable REZ, which is great !

Thanks & Bye, Magic Sam

Fantastic! ParkyDr does it again - can't wait to give this a go tonight! I was wondering if you'd made any progress on this, but I didn't want to hassle you because I hadn't pulled my finger out and helped out in any way...

Seconded

So far, things I have noticed:

- Could you change the font please, it's sometime hard to read.
- Is the game naturally slow, or does it need some OC to work fine ?

Besides that, the game looks and plays great on gp2x (F-200), and is tough

 

[Gruntfuggly]

Err - maybe you should re-read the whole thread before asking for the font to be changed!

 

[Parkydr]

It runs full speed compared with the PC version.

It is tough - I had to use an infinite lives hack to get to the end of level

thanks for porting this. always nice to have more quality indie shumps on the gp2x. yeah this is a tough game. both on the computer and gp2x. I'll probably try to at least get decent at it on the gp2x. I like the variety of configurations you can use. It is slow moving but kind of needs to be with a lot being on screen at once. this is one of those abstract games that would lull you into a trance if they weren't so hard.
