Humble Bundle with sourcecode again (maybe)

Ultratron
Droid Assault
Revenge of the Titans
Titan Attacks!

Reach $150K to unlock the source code for all these games!

Those on Pandora would be awesome,
hopefully we reach the $150k.

Hmm, not as open source though, as I read it. It only says that if they hit the $150k sales, Puppy games will release the source to all customers, but that doesn't make it redistributable.

Im in.

I'm in, however, aren't all these x86 and not arm? Will these be able to be ported? Either way,the two titan games are fun.

Provided they arent x86 assembly it should be feasible.

that is an interesting point to raise... I'd like them to tell us which licence they would release the source code... with the few things they say id do not look like we'd have the right to release a port...

I think this games are all running with Java and LWJGL library ( i checked only Revenge of the Titans and Titan Attacks! on the web) so it may be doable if someone release a working version of lwjgl lib for Pandora.

Also wasn't the source for Revenge of the Titans already released ? http://www.puppygames.net/blog/?p=914

Perhaps politely inquiring about the license would be in order. I'm not sure that it would be unreasonable for them to keep the assets proprietary and just release the source code for use with source ports. However, it would be awesome if they opened the source code in general.

It might be possible to get them to allow a source port for Pandora, if we have to use the assets from a licensed copy.

Yes, if they release it like they released the RotT source above, it seems conceivable they'd permit an engine port and release.

I had lwjgl working on the Pandora through glshim at one point.
