Release supertux2

[Pickle]

I got supertux2 to run tonight, I probably should have grabbed version 1 (well I thought i was) instead I have the svn of the cutting edge supertux2 and well it runs.
Its a little slow in some of the initial runs, but hey this is cutting edge and our soft sdl isnt the fastest.
I ran it at 840x480 (cant change) seems to support widescreen, the sound and music sound great.
Without sound/music and it of course runs faster.

I will try to compile the latest version of supertux1.
Maybe some videos of either this week

Nice! I didn't even know that they had made a SuperTux 2... I should check that out - I loved SuperTux.

You're on fire, Pickle.

You're on fire, Pickle.

QFT, indeed a good dev to have a dev board (he does have one, yes?) Thanks Pickle, you're anything but sour.

IIRC supertux 2 use OpenGL and 640*480 minimum that's the big difference between 1.*. Supertux 1 will run super smoothly on Pandora :lol:
Thank you Pickle and other devs for your effort to port lots of games to Pandora before It launch

 

[frefol]

The difference between Supertux 1 and 2 is kind of like the difference between Super Mario Bros and Super Mario World. It adds a lot of really cool features plus forest levels.

 

[joa]

That's awesome news Pickle, cheers for the announcement

I didnt compile it with opengl support, so it does support software rendering.

Version 2 does seem a bit nicer than 1, there some movies/cut scenes in this version. The detail is pretty good, looks very nice at 800x480. I think with some overclock this will be smooth with sound/music.

By the way in order to get this going I had to build these libs: ogg, vorbisogg, openal

 

[joa]

It is possible that a future build will support OpenGL?

Also, Do we have a single location with details of all games available, being ported, or port progress? There have been quite a few that appear really but I won't know where to find them unless i randomly come across the game on the forum - Just thinking out loud.

I might take a look at the opengl used, it just depends on how much we are missing since we have ogl-es. It certainly would help run the game faster.

There was a thread that was trying to collaborate all the projects on the other forums, that also started off some work on the wiki, I would look there first.

Hey, I just saw you drop by #supertux. I've been tracking Pandora for a while and kind of wanted one of the dev kits for ST development.. I actually ordered a Pandora, but after the banking fiasco I thought it better to let the situation settle a bit and wait for the second batch.

Anyhow, we've been working on converting the codebase to OpenGL ES because the Wiz guys gave a couple of us some kits. I don't really know how that is going.

Oh, and it's really just pedantic, but ST2 doesn't technically exist yet, it's just been tech demos so far. We really need some good level designers that know when to use new features (and more importantly, know when NOT to use the new features).

By the way, does light+magic work anywhere near decently?

Yeah I just wanted to drop by and let you guys know the news, i didnt stick around since it seems kind of dead.

awesome, we have opengles SDL support, it seems soft SDL is still in the code. Do you know what state the latest svn is in? I was planning to dig around to see if it would work.

Yeah I intended to compile version 1, but happened to grab ST2

Im not sure I know what your referring to, it is part of the game play? Its a bit hard for me to play the game at the moment, my usb croaked so the only control i have is pecking pcb pads with a joystick rubber pad. Its quite a challenge to get over vertical hills ;-)
The fade in an out seems to slow down.

Just wanted to say thankyou very much, Pickle - I love SuperTux. (Looking forward to the videos, if/when you're able to do them, as well.)

Sweet! I really like supertux! Keep it up

Yep!

[Pickle]

supertux is gold!

 

[rx_shorty]

Really?
Darn now I want my Pandora

 

[Pickle]

yep runs great, i was getting 50 fps, so basically fullspeed

 

[senorgomez]

yep runs great, i was getting 50 fps, so basically fullspeed

And this is supertux 1.3.1 or whatever right? Not supertux2?
