Porting PewPew

[Jyaif]

Hi,


I am the developer of PewPew 2, an iOS/Android/BB game ( http://pewpew.jfgeyelin.com/#home ).


Some people have expressed their interest in having PewPew ported to the Pandora. Unfortunately, I don't have a Pandora


I was wondering if somebody here was be interested in doing the port themselves: PewPew 2 would then be available freely for the Pandora.

What is it written in? If its Plain C++/SDL I can give it a try, but don't have much time myself.


Maybe someone else will chime in?

 

[Jyaif]

it's plain C++ (no Boost) with OpenGL ES 1 (and OpenAL if you want sound).


An other solution would be for someone (in the Paris area) to lend me their Pandora.

Apart from modifying the controls, that sounds like a simple recompile.

 

[Jyaif]

Yes, hopefully.


Apparently there are several people interested in porting it. I'll try to select the one that is most suited for the work.

Looks like a fantastic game. If it was a quick SDL control scheme change and recompile no problem.. but if I hit anything that was any bit more complicated I would be a little lost. So wouldn't be the first choice.

 

[mcobit]

You will still need to implement eglport for the oglescontext, but it still should be simple

I liked both of these games on iOS, be great to see any of them on the Pandora!

I'd love to port this, but my poor Pandora is broken.

I love that style of game. Look forward to trying it out when I get an Android phone next week and I hope that I get to play it on the Pandora someday too.


Thanks for trying to get it ported Jyaif and welcome to the community


EDIT: Just watched the video. This will play ace on the Pandora with the twin sticks

This is awesome. I've already bought Pew Pew 2 on android or I would buy it right now. Love the game, it's awesome on the pandora. And thanks to Sebt3 for the port!

Hell yeah, nice one Sebt3! Going to have a lot of fun with this on the weekend .. reminds me a lot of WordWarVI, which is a good thing ..

Thanks for this Jyaif & sebt3, great game for Pandora, controls really nicely with the analogue nubs.


I'm getting quite a few lock ups (requiring hard reset of Pandora) on the level select screen, seems to happen when the level select list is scrolling down into place after completing a level.


I'm running PewPew 1.0.0.2, Hotfix 5a, Kernel 3.2, 256MB Pandora @ 850Mhz.


Also, does this game need a bit of an overclock? It's very jerky with stuttering music @ 600 Mhz for me.
