Release Hostile Takeover

[ptitSeb]

Here is Hostile Takeover, the opensource RTS formely known as Warfare Inc.

The package is for now on the development repo, but I'll update the link when the repo goes final if url changes.

This version of Hostile Takeover is slightly modified so it run fullscreen (1280x720) on Pyra.
For the curious, it can be built from source: checkout the git and look at the README.md file for Pyra instruction. You'll build the game and the dbp.

@ptitSeb Can't give you 5 stars as Pyra is not out yet

Grrrrrrrr!

Was one of my favorite Tapwave Zodiac games! Now if I only had a Pyra to play this on... Soon...

If someone were able to upload a video of this running, ideally with a video capture device, like ingoreis does, I'd happily trade that for a five star review

I just noticed the repo doesn't actually take review stars, but I gave you a five asterisk comment and a like anyway!

Hi all

@ptitSeb : your DBP does start on my brand new Pyra, and is indeed fullscreen, but the game itself is not centered, leaving roughly 1/3 of the upper screen black.

What am I doing wrong ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

The game used to work on 240x340 screen size (even less) of old pocket pc... In the full 1280x720, there is very little level that fill all that space!

Second point is: SDL 1 fullscreen is borked for now, and the image is off. That's a known issue on current Pyra firmware.

Hi all

@ptitSeb : thanks for the quick reply, as always. I just tried EcWolf3d from the repo and it has the same issue (I can only see part of the screen, 1/3 of the display's upper part is black).

Is there something we can do to help fix this bug ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

 

[ptitSeb]

Look there: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/sdl-1-2-fullscreen-position-fix.99416 for some discution about that. That's the most recent thread about that issue, but I'm pretty sure there are a few other.

Hi all

@ptitSeb : just to let you know that @ouzle SDL1.2 library fixes the screen issue in Hostile Takeover The game is now fullscreen and works perfectly

Cheers, Magic Sam

Hi all

@ptitSeb : I just noticed your Hostile Takeover package does write stuff to ~/.hostile-takeover on the internal storage. The appdata/ptitSeb_ht directory is empty.

Is this a bug ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

 

[ptitSeb]

Not sure. Is that? it's emmc storage, more resiliant than SDCard (I know, sdcard can be changed, emmc is more difficult), Got to check what is expected from a dbp package (compare to a pnd).

New release on the repo.
