Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

I didn't think it could be done, but ...

(Edit:) NEW BUILD for OS2007 and 2008! check site for details.

Takes about 10 sec to start up. Music works nicely - framerate a bit low due to the fullscreen 640x480 animations.

Here's in-game

Shortly after the snapshot it crashed :( So there's a bit of work to be done....

(edit) Next morning: Crashes fixed (out of memory condition). FPS speed up to 15 fps with background animation turned off. ... testing continues.

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Good job as usual ArnimS..look forward to seeing it in action :)

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

You're the man!

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

It would be sweet to get this in .deb or some other one-click for us lazy, not-as-knowledgeable people. Thanks.

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

SWEET!!

How/where to download and run?

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Great work! Does it run on N800?

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Still crashing more than i'd like and i haven't made progress on that, so i guess i have to put what i have up there.

grab it at http://pupnik.de/pingus.html -- pay attention to instructions.

I'm really curious how it plays on the N800.

cheers

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

I tried to run it on N800

Btw. you need to extract with: dpkg-deb -X pingus-data_0.7.0-1_all.deb .

chmod +x /home/user/pingus

cd /media/mmc2/user/share/games/pingus/

/home/user/pingus -g 800x480 -f --fast-mode

but then i got errors: /home/user/pingus: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_signals-gcc34-1_34_1.so.1.34.1: cannot open shared object fie: No Such file or directory

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Thanks!

1) the dpkg -X <filename> . works on 770. Did you make sure to include the "." at the end for the destination directory?

2) I'd forgotten about libboost - instructions and downloads updated. I couldn't build a proper libbost .deb so the .so is provided as a naked file.

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

1. dpkg -X didn't work on N800 (dot included).

2. Downloaded libboost, sudo gainroot, mv file, ldconfig

Now it works on N800. I didn't notice any problems when i tried the first and second practice level.

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

I get 'gzip: Invalid magic' when I try to unzip pingus.gz. Any ideas on that?

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

The Pingus team just released a new version today, so I built a proper package out of it... (edit url) http://www.pupnik.de/pingus.html

The binary installs with app manager on 770. (N800 users still need to install with dpkg -i)

If you have ~22MB free on your root fs you can also just click on the data deb or install from file in app manager.

One way to get around the limited space is to do this as root:

mkdir /media/mmc1/share
mv /usr/share/games /media/mmc1/share
ln -s /media/mmc1/share/games /usr/share/games

PROBLEM WITH THIS is that application-manager and apt will break when trying to set perms of installed files. So you need to dpkg-i them :P

That creates a directory called 'share' on your mmc and makes a symbolic link (like a shortcut on windows) from your /usr/share/games to /media/mmc1/share/games directory.

I've found this works quite well and spares me all the monkeywork modifying games or changing the default data directories. You might get warnings about not being able to set file permissions, but programs shouldn't care about perms in the share directory. At least i've never had a problem with share directories on vfat.

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Error 404: working url: http://www.pupnik.de/pingus.html

First I removed all the old files and installed latest Pingus directly from the debs (opera & app manager).

echo $PATH: /usr/bin:/bin

So you need to run it with command /usr/games/pingus but it doesn't find datadir (checking for file: '/usr/games/.../share/pingus/data//data/core.res)

Ok you need to include datadir to start command:

$ /usr/games/pingus -g 800x480 -f --fast-mode --datadir /usr/share/games/pingus/data/

Then Pingus starts and you can see black screen and mouse cursor couple seconds but then it crashes: Unable to initialize SDL_Mixer: No available audio device

UPDATE: without sounds it runs fine (/usr/games/pingus -g 800x480 -f -s -m --fast-mode --datadir /usr/share/games/pingus/data/)

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

thanks for the test - will add proper deps - libsdl1.2 and image and mixer - and move bin to /usr/bin -- we are working on fixing a patch right now.

Generallly SDL games will make use of the following, so if you're having problems, install one of them.

libsdl1.2 - Simple "Direct"Media Layer
libsdl-net1.2 - Network library for libSDL
libsdl-mixer1.2 - Mixer library for libSDL
libsdl-image1.2 - Image loading library for SDL.
libsdl-sound1.2 - Decoder of several sound file formats for SDL
libsdl-ttf2.0-0 - ttf library for Simple DirectMedia Layer with FreeType 2 support

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Any chance we could get this for OS2008? I feel ilke the speed increase would help it.

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

if you could get it onto os 08 that would be amazing, absolutly amazing

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Yeah i'm chilling a bit waiting for the N810. Not motivated to do much work atm.

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

thats ok, eitherf way, what you've done is amazing

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

bump
os08 update?
feeling less lazy? =) Edit: i mean motivated

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

er... i feel sorta greedy, but
bump

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

what os version do you want

i'll do a new build for 2007 or 2008 for you. 770 users will have to pass on this game - not enough memory to play well.

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Would be very nice to have this on OS 2008. Thanks!

Will you register/upload this at garage?

(Wiki page about doing that: http://maemo.org/community/applicati...epository.html )

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

OS 2008 please
i knew that if i was persitent enough it might happen
cant wait
all praise the genius that is Arnim
=)

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

awesole im excited

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

rebump...
did you forget us? =P

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

Is this one working? :)
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gnua...l/main/b/boost

Re: Pingus: Lemmings Clone
 

No. I managed to get past the scons configure step and compile with my libboost headers. However the final link fails with all three libboost versions tried.

Builds fine in my old scratchbox though.

(edit) Got some help. Boost issues fixed.

Ok new release! :) Runs skidillion times faster than any version U seen. :) Just follow 2-step install instructions at http://pupnik.de/pingus.html New funkipup tech means you can just click on the game data and it installs to your SD card.

Should work with OS2007 and OS2008. Go save some penguins...
(edit2) memory leak detected. Enable swap and only play a few levels at a time. :(
