I don't know how many people are familiar with Project: Starfighter. It's a nice space shooter game developed by Parallel Realities (the developer of Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid and others) and released in 2003 for the PC. Anyway, I've ported it to the Pandora. You can find it on the repo:
http://repo.openpand....92759361038745
If there are any other problems, let me know!
This port is definitely not a straight port. That would have been awful. I was sure to fix up the controls for the Pandora (and I am very pleased with the result; see below), and I shrank the game down from its original 800x600 to 800x480.
Regarding the controls: the documentation tells all, but one thing that was really nice that I was able to do is make people who want face buttons to be mouse buttons happy! See, Starfighter actually responds to key presses, not mouse clicks; mouse clicks actually just cause a key press to be registered. So as a result of this, you can "click" with the B button.
Since the current version on SourceForge has no music (music is being worked on right now), this port uses the old music that the original author used. The music has been removed due to legal concerns. Music can be re-added back in by dropping a new "starfigher.pak" file in the appdata folder.
Enjoy!
EDIT: Version 1.2.P.2 means this game is no longer in beta. The topic on Software News is here: http://boards.openpa...ct-starfighter/
