Uplink
 
Can we run this game on n8x0?

Hmm,
System requirements 300 MHz CPU, 32MB RAM, 25MB hard disk, OpenGL-capable graphics card (only required by versions prior to 1.55)

Source code is available but only on a developer cd that you have to buy, don't that will go down well...

There's a game somewhat similar in concept to uplink called "endgame singularity" and there's a port ready to run on the N8x0s somewhere on this site :) It feels very similar but the plot is different.

I love uplink, I used to play it obsessively but I never got the hang of cracking LANs effectively so I gave it up :P I'd actually really love to play it on my tablet but I don't think that's possible. (legally). If you could find an Uplink clone that's OSS, then sure :) I'm all for it!

Uplink's a great game. I also would like to see it on N810.

Hey wow! I just found an open-source clone of Uplink :)

page with source is available here: http://home.as-netz.de/gblech/mylink/

Maybe someone can compile it and try it out?

any news on this?

Re: Uplink
 
well... yes and no...

the game is written in pure perl and requires the Frontier and Tk modules. The frontier modules install cleanly, but Tk won't for whatever reason.

I can run the game, but it stretches off the edge of my screen and I can't log in 'cause i can't see the options buttons.

So in other words, it'll probably run, but it'll need work and tweaking of the source and unfortunately I know next to nothing about coding in Perl and I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now :/

However, it doesn't look like it would take too much effort if someone knew what they were doing
