Sdl Scavenger Port For Gp2x Released

[critical]

Someone (DemonStar55) asked for a port of this lode runner clone.
I applied the patches for later versions of SDL, mapped some buttons, and it's now available:

SDL Scavenger GP2X

If you take the zip file, unzip it to your SD card's root directory, then run sdlscav on your GP2X you'll see the start screen. Press B to go. Start suicides. L and R dig left and right respectively. Sound deliberately nailed since my headphone socket died. Completing a level looks like it hangs for a while, but it's just saving your progress to the SD card. Chill.

Nice. I really hope to get a new GP2x, or find my old one "very" soon.

There is a level designer, If I remember, and you can skin this thing.

You're quite right, there is a level designer. It's just not hooked up yet. The code's all there - I just haven't provided a button mapping to go into that mode. Without looking into it more, I don't really know how many keys it uses, or indeed how it works (I've never run the linux version) but looking at the lbm's in the data dir, it looks mouse-controlled, which is actually quite good news.

The tiles are in the data dir, so yes, you can play around with its appearance.

how long is it suppose to seems to lock up? I'm assuming not over a min...

You assume wrongly I thought it'd locked up the first time I finished a level, but I ran it again with strace, and it was writing data (albeit very slowly). If you leave it for a couple of minutes, it'll progress.

I'm sure it can be fixed, but if you leave it, it will show a black screen with score info, then let you move on to the next level.

oh alright, well I just read the error.log and it just said it couldn't find stuff and it started writing folders, so will it take a few mins each new level or will it take shorter time because the files don't all need to be created?
