Release SuperTuxKart for Pandora

[ptitSeb]

Here is SuperTuxKart, ported to the Pandora.

This port use OpenGL (via gl4es).

First thing you need to do is go the settings screen to customize keyboard and reduce detail. Use preset "2" for optimal speed.

There are some known problems. Main one is the "Render to Texture" is not working. So, in the Select Kart screen, you don't see the Spinning Karting, and there is no MiniMap in race.

Also, if you download some tracks (or karting), note that the big tecture may kill the performances (you can still downsize, I suggest you use mtPaint -thanx mcobit- for this, it works very well).: fixed with build 04


/!\ You'll need a Swapfile on CC model /!\

Also some texture may be just White on the CC model...

Fantastic! Thank you.

merci p'tit Seb

Excellent job plays well on my first batch Pandora clocked @800  Bud

 

[mcobit]

Analog control would be nice to have.

Anyway, if the graphics get sorted this will be really good.

Edit: I love to see how the Pandora gets the best opensource ports first. I bet now that they see that its possible, it will be on the android market soon.

Are you trying to use EGL functionality for this?

Hi !

Thanks ptitSeb for porting STK to the Pandora

It runs very well with OC @ 1 GHz, preset 1 and music off.

Do you think you could squeeze some more FPS out of it ?

Bye, and thanks again !

No, I was trying to use FBO, but I cannot get FBO with GL_RGBA on GLES-1. With EGL, it's with PBuffer, right?

Correct, once you render to the pbuffer you can create a texture from it, and use that to render with opengl

I'll try in a few days. This will require some modifications to Irrlicht I think, but it should be doable.

 

[eyecreate]

Awesome! I tried getting this working a bit back but didn't put the effort in to make it work in the memory of my CC pandora and optimize for speed.

 

[apersonthinks]

Amazing. Now that we have this, we should see if minetest can be updated for speed

 

[Binky]

Great work!

Not really playable, but close enough to be a serious proof-of-feasibility.

I'm looking forward to showing this off to the unbelievers

Try lowering the details. At "2" (from 4 bu default), it became playable, with fps around 15 and easily more than 20 in many places if you O/C a bit.

 

[Binky]

^ I tried that.

I just found the jerky motion too distracting to concentrate on gameplay (maybe that's just me)

About half of maths class is smooth as long as there aren't any other karts.

Edit: I would have expected this sort of thing to be a 2fps jobbie, so getting a consistent 20fps is wonderful. Keep it up

 

[EvilDragon]

Wow, that runs really nice.


Thank you

 

[Askarus]

Nice  game.

Runs pretty good.

• Addons are saved to your home directory - use with care
• 'skyline' works smoothly but looks ugly
• I have a retextured version of skyline somewhere

Oh ?! I though I had redirected it on the right folder

I'll take care of that quickly !

*EDIT* Ah yes, my bad, it use "XDG_DATA_HOME" and not "HOME" to find home root. I'll updload fixed release soon.

 

[ptitSeb]

New release, I redirected the Addon download to appdata (but I didn't copy previously donwloaded ones, you have to do it yourself).

I'm off for a week now, going in vacacions...
