Crap port of spacemonster
 

Spacemonster here: http://richardjames13.110mb.com/games/spacemonster.html

My first port so leave me alone if this sucks balls :p. Also note, I have no C++ skills (thanks KotCzarny, lcuk & jott :D)

Untar bin archive to /

I made these changes to source:

• Fixed button config & updated text
• Change resources path to /usr/share/spacem/
• Fixed fullscreen mode

To see your ship, you need to be in fullscreen. Speed is a bit slow. Also pressing home means you will not be able to resume.

Src & bin. Remove zip extension.

Works well, thank you :-)
If you want to play in fullscreen mode immediatly, add "SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen(surface);" in src/screen.cpp at line 46 (after "surface = ...").

To play faster, you can play with lines 68 and 57 in src/player.cpp and lines 151 and 160 in src/alien.cpp to change moving speed. Else, without making the game less "fluid", you can change line 35 in src/player.cpp and line 184 in src/alien.cpp.

Ah, thanks!

I shall look into it for educational purposes :)

I LIKE IT! Looks and feels very true to original. Ship weapon is a bit too fast, making it too easy to clear a column of aliens. Ship speed is about right.

No 'death' animation. No sounds. Mrrh. But it's somehow fun.

Thanks lol.

afaik sound wasn't implemented in the original spacemonster , which i believe to be abandoned & unfinished but the sound files were made for it. I don't actually, personally play this myself but I will try and make a deb, a proper icon & the improvements that Yann Benigot said :)
