[Riot] Puzzletube - Searching Allies

[Ziz]

I had to release a new version. First of all there was a memory leak bug. But now I have a README explaining the game mechanics, too ;-)

 

[Ziz]

And a new version again for all GP2X owners: I initialized the sound wrong. So there were latencies. Fixed it

 

[Ziz]

Aaaand an update again. I implemented a help screen. It is not perfect (in fact it is a bit "hacky"), but I have no time for more and some people don't know, what to do in this game. So if you survive this Wall of Text, you know, how to play!

 

[Coccijoe]

Hi, thanks for this game
Unfortunately, there is a lot of flickering on the dingoo version, do you think you can do an OpenDingux version with double buffering enable?

 

[Orion4874]

Nice work Ziz, very nice game! It's even better with the new changes.

Completely off topic but you never added Snowman to the archive, could you upload that one? I don't think many people know about that game.

 

[Ziz]

@Coccijoe: I fixed it yesterday. The archive version seems to need some time to get the changes >.< Here is a new version without flicking: http://ziz.delphigl.com/data/puzzletube-dingoo.zip Double Buffering didn't help btw...

@Orion4874: As you maybe noticed, I rewrote my "background engine" and gave it a great™ name. So after puzzletube (and maybe a project for the Pandora Rebirth Contest) I will update snowman, too. Then I will upload it to the archive.

Today I have two videos for you. The first one is made by smida3 in the Dingoo Community. It works now pretty well on the Dingoo A320 ;-)






The second video is about some new feature in my software rendering library sparrow3D. I am now able to load obj files. And it is pretty fast. The last example on my gp2x got 23 fps with "bad affine" with 1250 Quads.






Most of my work @libsparrow3d is for my next project, which will be an entry for the rebirth contest. But as long as I did not decide to participate and the create an own thread, I will post changes here. ^^

Interesting, I though the dingoo had no gles. Am I missing something ?

 

[Ziz]

The GP2X has no, too.

That is the point of my library: It is a Software Renderer
It works on every system with SDL ;-)

Congrats! Software render rules, hardware render should be illegal!
I´m serious though.

Can that lib run on caanoo?

 

[Ziz]

That Lib runs already on the Caanoo. It runs on every system I compiled puzzletube for ;-)

So: Pandora, Caanoo, Dingoo, Wiz and GP2X ;-)

 

[erico]

I take a guess that it would have to be wrapped to be used inside glbasic if I could use it.
Is your lib open or public released?

 

[Ziz]

Hm, I don't know, how to import normal .so files in glbasic. If you know it: The library has a very easy structure.

All my Software is released under (L)GPL and MPL.
You can find the library here: https://github.com/theZiz/sparrow3d

But I would wait a few weeks, maybe I'll make some bigger changes. Especially with light. I think, I will create a new thread for the library, when it is feature complete. That should be in 1 or 2 weeks.

 

[erico]

thanks for the fast reply,
I would not know how to use such a lib inside glbasic myself but could gather help from people to do so.

If fact, altough I work with 3d gfx, I´m noob when it comes to use it inside coding software.
My primary intentions are to produce some 2d games I like.

So it still will be a long while till I get to 3d on this level.

But it´s great to see good work done on this front, I´m greatly interested on homebrew games and apps and libs!

ps: maybe I can run your test on caanoo using ginge? I´m definently curious about the performance. ops. did confuse things here

 

[Ziz]

If you want to run my test on your Caanoo I can give you the real Caanoo version

But would be very boring. Just 2 times better fps than on my gp2x. ^^

That would be nice! I´m interested on the results and sure would like to see the lib in action

 

[Ziz]

You are still able to see the lib in action:

But I will build the test application for Caanoo today or tomorrow evening. ;-)

 

[Ziz]

As you may be interested, I finished puzzletube sometimes ago.
I wanted to upload it to the archive, too, but it seems to be in a renovation process. :\
 
So, I uploaded it to my subdomain from gp2x.de (thx to ED for this):
http://ziz.gp2x.de/downloads/puzzletube/
 
Would be nice, if you could test these builds! Most of them a made automatically by a new script, so maybe something is broken. ^^'
In fact: At the moment only the pandora build is really tested. XD
 
Aaand a video for the lulz at the end:

greetings,

I just gave the Caanoo version a try (just about a minute) and everything seems to work fine. Starts,music is playing, you can watch the tutorial, you can play, every control is working and it exits to menu without problems.
btw: I made and uploaded an ini file for puzzletube. You can include it to Caanoo's zip file, if you like to. I didn't find any other filehoster without registration so I uploaded it here: http://www.file-upload.net/download-7770230/puzzletube.ini.html

 

[Ziz]

Oh, thanks, that is funny: I HAVE an ini file (with exactly the same content btw), but my script doesn't add it in the resulting zip file
 
Fixed my script and uploaded the new caanoo archive.
