The Penguin Machine

[prairiefire]

The Penguin Machine is a remake of The Incredible Machine and uses pygame
http://www.pygame.org/projects/21/139/

My question is, would this also then run on the GP2X?

 

[Blah]

Its doable.

Its doable.

now by doable, you mean what i do is install pygame and python to the root of my sd and also install PIL to the root (it appears that the Imaging Library is a .tar file) and then i'd extract the penguin machine to the root as well and .....voila?

i'm not familiar with python and pygame and so this seems a little over my head.

 

[Blah]

Well its a bit more involved than that. Its not coded for the GP2X's input system...but I have made a library to handle it. Also the python/pygame GP2X ports as they currently stand need improvement.

Thanks Blah, I'll move this into the wishlist section...

I would love to see this game on the gp2x too!

I really wished to get this one ported to my GP2X!

I prefer the F-200 though because of the touchscreen.

 

[jjplano]

talking about the touchscreen

has someone make possible to control a game thrugh the touchscreen (replacing a mouse on a ported game, or with an original one)?

my brother had played with the scummv games on my f200, so i know its possible, but i dont know how complicated it is for a developer to do it

Yay! Please someone port this! "The Incredible Machine" was one of the greatest games ever made!

I tried to run TIM on DosBox, in PC it works, but not on the gp2x...

I am thinking of writing my own, if only I had lots of free time available... :lol:

 

[jjplano]

yesterday i sent an email to one of the creators of TIM, explaining what is being done here and asking him if he would gently give the source code for the cause

i saw that he is really a videogame enthusiast and not just a programmer, so perhapps he digs on this

waiting for a response now

cross your fingers :lol:
