Here is Out of Order, an adventure game "Point'n Click" using the SLUDGE engine.

The game use GLES2, and has some nice light effects and great graphism with an intriging storyline.

 ... But ...

As always, the CC has difficulty to make this game runs. I have found that only the 4.04 serie support the game, but even with them, there are some lookup after 10 to 15 min gameplay. So save often.
On Gigahertz, the game runs fine with 4.10 and 4.03 and Ihave not experienced any lookup. I haven't tested on Rebirth but I expect result similar to Gigahertz.

On last word, to gain some performances, I have remove a "glReadPixels" (well, many in fact). But specically, on the Mouse Pointer handling, there was some glReadPixel to get the color of the background were the mouse point, then another one after an object if draw to check if the mouse precisely point the object. I remove the glReadPixel, so the test is just a BoundingBox test. I have not completed the game, so I hope I have not break anything later in the game (the beginning runs fine).

Nice, looking forward to this as I've been in an adventure game mood...
 
I feel like I have played this at some point.  That screenshot looks very familiar.  I will try it on my Pandora when I can.

Thanks for all the great stuff, ptitSeb.  It seems you spend far more time porting stuff than I have time to play.
 
I played it a very long time ago and I have no desire to play it again. But thats because A few years back I already had the desire to play it again and it's a pretty good if short/lacking in locations.
 
ptitseb, I am curious, how many items have you ported?  Really you are one of the big reasons the Pandora (and Pyra) are so awesome
 
OOoh, I loved this game on the PC back in the day.
Amazing, unique storyline and some challenging puzzles. Great adventure game all around!

Thanks a lot for the port, too bad CC get left in the dust again, but there is nothing you can do about that (I know the struggle...). Maybe I will give it a try anyway, just to see whether I remember all the puzzles :D
 
@ptitSeb


Is your adapted build able to run @16 bpp? The vanilla version of sludge only manages to start @24/32 bpp on Odroid C1.

Yes it is, because the Pandora only have 16bpp available. I used FBO on many places. I have put the diff of the sources in first post, if you want to try it on the ODroid.

@petevine: I forced "FrameBuffer" rendering here, so maybe it's not supported on the ODroid. In source/Engine/eglport/eglport.cpp the lines 341-345 are commented (exept line 344). Remove all those comments and try again...

Maybe some pandora specific stuff is interfering?
