[New game] Color Lines - OS2008/2007/2006
 

Hi All! I have just released my wife's favorite game: Color Lines. It is written from scratch specially for maemo, but can be compiled and played in Linux (Unixes) too. It uses: SDL, SDL_image, SDL_mixer.

Features:
- sound & music
- autosave/autoload
- 4 kind of bonuses
- colorful graphics

Since it is first release it can have some bugs, but it is playable right now. Test it please... Thanx...

P.S. I was not able to attach screenshot. size always exceed 19kb png limit for attachments on this forum... Sorry... :(

UPD: Dirty jpg attached. This screenshots taken from MacOS version and looks a little differ than n800 version... Anyway - jpg is very ugly, do not look on it. :)
Realy, i think it is good idea to raise limit on png attachments.

Post the screenie as a jpg; no size limit. Degradation is better than nothing. ;)

Wow!! Very nice port of this game :D I used to play this all the time on my Palm TX. Graphics are beautiful!

Only one big question... how do I turn off the sound for when I get 5 in a row? Tapping on the music note only turns off the background music.

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

Now, you can not disable sounds in game (it is supposed, that you can disable it using OS volume applet). Music note really disables music only. But, if this feature is needed, i will include it in next release.

BTW, you can just remove all sounds in /usr/share/lines/sounds to disable them at ALL and save some device memory.

I have made another attempt... Now jpg (RESIZED!!!) limit is exceeded. Really sorry... Can't do this anymore.

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

Absolutely love this game!! i hope your wife also loves super collapse hahah. Thanks gl00my!

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

you can attach a screenshot as one of the downloadable files on your garage page


BTW: great build. this is a very cool game. I'm still trying to figure out the special balls, the paint doesn't act like I thought it would.

I don't usually keep games other than aisleriot, but this one runs and looks/sounds fantastic... it's a keeper, thanks! :)

Try version 0.2, it has a volume control. I did not test it well.., but looks like it works....

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

Thank You, gl00my! Just one question : why OS2008 only? I've just built version 0.3 for OS2006 (yes, 770) and it's OK there. On 2007HE there are some generic SDL sound issues, but game itself runs perfectly.

I think packages for OS2006 (same for OS2007HE) and for OS2007 will make this game more popular.

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

It's only because i have no 2007 SDK and have no good internet at work to install it. I have installed 2008 SDK by downloading ALL reps. on disk. ;) So, it's too hard for me.... If you have 0.3 build for 2007 OS, let's put it on lines.garage.maemo.org?

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

Sorry for delay. I've uploaded 2006/2007 package as "patch" to tne "Color lines" project. You can copy it from there into "download". Thank you again for great port for "lines"!

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

Great!!! I have added your file as lines_0.3_OS2006_OS2007_armel.deb in 0.3 release. Thank you!

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

serge48 & gl00my, excellent work on Color Lines. :) The recompiled/patched 770 version works perfectly on my 770 running OS2007HE. Great job guys. :)

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

would there be a way to get an icon for this application so we can swith between different applications more effectively ?
thanks :)

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

Sorry, but the only _right_ way todo this is using launcher (like some other SDL games in maemo). But i do not like this kind of launching....


0.4.1 was released -- critical bug in board logic fixed.
also, 0.4 was released for Windows...

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

how about putting this game in a repo (extras?) with gweled ?
they really are worth it!
it will be easier to update this game and more people will use them!
anyways, thanks for these great ports :)

And ask for X-Fade on #maemo - irc.freenode.net

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

The game is amazing, I've been playing it for 2 days and can't stop. Thanks!

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

nice game. any interest in building for n900?

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

I concur. This would be a great game for people new to Maemo (like me) who have gone for the N900.

Re: [New game] Color Lines - OS2008
 

Bump!

Agree with above posters. I loved this game in OS2008 and would like to play it with N900 also.
