DopeWars 1.5.12
 

I compiled it and its working great, you can play on other servers on the internet it will populate a list to connect to. There are some real high scores out there.

Pretty cool, I know this has already been done, I does not do full screen because I did not port it.

I assume this will run anywhere, but I can only confim 2008OS is working for me. I compiled this to run under KDE but it works good with hildon/matchbox.


So pehaps someone can turn this into a deb?

http://penguinbait.com/DW.tgz

cd /
tar zxvf /path/to/DW.tgz

Its .5MB gzip'd its 1.2MB uncompressed

I added an Icon so it will show up in the menu. Should be easy to create a deb, I am going to have to look into it someday ;)

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

There I made a deb if anyone wants it, I only tested in 2008OS


http://penguinbait.com/dopewars.deb

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Ur the best mate! Will give it a try right now !!!
Cheers.

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Excellent ! I used to love play Dopewars on my Palm3 !

Thanks a lot Penguinbait (again :))

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

How about a compile and deb for os2006? ;) I would try.. but i think it would result in a Nokia self destruct lol

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Did you try, It either wont install, or you should be able to remove it without a problem. It just may work?

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Thanks for this port. I have a stupid question though. How exactly does multiplayer help this game? The only difference I've noticed is that the cities are different.

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

You can actually spy on other players and see what they have, I am not exactly sure how this helps you, but its there :D

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

I just had a thought - - can you imagine applying to the Nokia developer device program with "I wanna port Dopewars, man..."

:D

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

haha good old times, just played a game and i'm rusty :P
thanks!

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Sorry for the ancient thread revival here, but just found this app and was anxious to install it. It was my favorite game on my US Robotics Pilot!

I'm getting an error when installing...
I don't want to uninstall sdictviewer. Is there a way I can work around this error? (running 5.2008.43-7 on N810)

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Use Not always recommended but as you are overwriting a useless file (come on, /.deb), I think we can overlook it :P

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Thanks Faheem, that did the trick!

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Need help. I loved playing this game back in the day.
I just upgraded today to 2008OS 43-7.

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

Hi!
is there a possibility to run dopewars on maemo5?
I tried to build a package with the soures from debian etch, but there were unmet build dependencies:
Then I compiled it with -d, which worked, but after installing it on my n900 successfully, nothing happend after typing dopewars in terminal.
Has anyone a solution?

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

oooo nice thread revival :) - would love to see a maemo5 port :) :D :D pretty pretty please!!! :)

Re: DopeWars Multiplayer and host
 

I have no n900 so I don't anticipate doing this anytime soon. It was a simple compile. I did nothing special to make it work. itt worked great.

You could install the SDK and give a go or start a thread with a 10$ paypal bounty, others may pitch it and help out?

Try #maemo on freenode IRC and see if anyone is willing to help you out...
