Release Hurrican sourcecode released!

[EvilDragon]

Hurrican sourcecode has been released!


It's a nice Turrican 2 remake with editor (see here)


It uses DirectX-Stuff, so I guess it's horrible to port... but maybe someone with more knowledge than me would like to take a look at it.

I have dabbled in converting directx to SDL/opengl, its not impossible. I will take a looky.

 

[crow_riot]

i've looked into it - and from what i've seen it's very clean and probably something that could be rewritten using penjin if penjin supports sprite rotations.

 

[Michoko]

Great game! I tested it some time ago on PC, and it was really nice.

 

[Blue Protoman]

What makes DirectX so difficult to convert to OpenGL or SDL or something? If it helps in explaining, I've got a bit of practice with SFML, by the way.

 

[AnimatedFreak]

that looks awesome!!!

 

[lomaxx]

Ah finally. I've been watching this for some years and for me wine-emulation wasn't very pleasing. Of course the original Amiga-version is the only real one , but never the less I'm looking forward to this one.


Edit: Oops "wine-emulation"!? .... Yeah, i know: WINE=Wine Is Not an Emulator

Its a different API set, but for 3D operations things are very simiar. Coordinate systems are different though.

hum, that game seems nice... too bad we can't port it easily...

 

[Garrett]

Wow, that looks incredible!.. i'm praying that someone is able to port this.

 

[skeezix]

Wow, that looks fantastic


Hmm .. need to get back to simpler games, balls out fun games, my latest game is huuuge, taking way too many years to write

Pretty sure I can port this with enough time. So far I know this.


FMod -> SDL_mixer


DIrectx -> SDL/OpenGL (i have a lot of this done with a previous project)


unrarlib -> If it doesnt exist for linux I would use physfs to replace it.


And other linux compatible conversions i.e. main().

Go for it.

That would be quite impressive, indeed!

Looks like a very nice remake. It would be awesome to play on the Pandora.

 

[Trip]

The original was an awesome game and a port of this to the Pandora would be a great show piece.


I wish you luck Pickle, if you decide to port it

I also love T2002.


It was a very faithful remake based on Turrican 2 with new Levelsets and a leveleditor.


It even had a working GBA demo version - but no sourcecode or anything similar available

i came into this thread to suggest this. perhaps petitioning the author would be worthwhile?

 

[elwing]

hum, T2002 seems great... I can't belive I missed that on my GBM... gonna correct this error...

 

[Michoko]

I just downloaded the GBA version of T2002 (they claim it to be complete on their site), and tested it in GPSP (both Ginge and native Pandora versions), but the game crashes and stutters a lot unfortunately. I don't know if it's designed to run fullspeed on a stock GBA, or if it's designed to run under a sped up GBA emulator. I tried to overclock the Pandora, but it is still very slow. Too bad, it seems to be a great game!
