Beta Pandora Alienbreed

[Farox]

Ciao !
I was checking Pygame.org and i found this python remake of Alien Breed http://pygame.org/pr...-1690-2937.html for WII.
The game is very scalable and after small mod to the sources i think is playable on Pandora.
What is changed from the original sources :
selected 800*480 res
disabled the mouse pointer (was visible all the time ).
On the 7z archive is present all the data needed to play .
I created a runme.sh to run the game with this lines:

  #!/bin/sh
  
  python gameengine.py -m

and a runme_2.sh wich contain:

#!/bin/sh


python ./gameengine.py -m

No PND for now is just a test !!! Let me know if works

Changed some text on credits menu.


08/12/2010 updated the archive with (i hope) better version
download at http://www.steekr.com/n/50-17/share/LNK83434cffb3ceb57bd/

Hi,

Black screen here with both starting scripts

Bye, Magic Sam

Hi,
Thanks a lot for report.
It's hard to port something without a real machine.
Tried on Win+Linux its working...(the same sources).

Do you have some error to report ?

Thanks

 

[Magic Sam]

@ Farox: no error messages, just a black screen, and a Pandora I have to reboot...

I'll modify your startup scripts to have some output written to a file, and will report back

Bye, Magic Sam

 

[Farox]

Thank you

Hey Farox, did you get any further with this as it sounds interesting?

I ran the updated version with both scripts and heres the output

Whilst it does blackscreen, the Pandora button will bring up a kill box (which fails to work) but you can also ALT+TAB to switch back to the terminal and a little python has appeared on the panel. It seemed to kill itself off whilst switching to other apps. So it doesnt require a soft reset.

Not sure if that error message is any use but I thought I´d post a result for you to check.

Happy New Year

 

[Farox]

Thank you Chaser
This is really usefull in special way the button to press to avoid the reset.

I will try to investigate that but don't know if i could solve that error before my Pandora arrive.

Anyway thank's a lot for that ...and Happy New Year.
