Wow, it's awesome - the first SDL game that runs at 30+ fps in 640x480 on the 770.


It's so full of WIN that it deserves its own thread.

You can get it here. I've added a .kobodlrc that increases speed a good 50%.

The game uses a unique sound engine that synthesizes all the music samples on startup, which takes about 4 minutes on the 770. I'm looking into ways to optimize this or cache the sample data.

Use arrow keys to move, ctrl key to fire. With the .kobodlrc you can steer and fire with the stylus for mega damage potential.

2007.05.25 New version of kobo deluxe

- fixes the application installer bug,
- installs into /usr/bin instead of /usr/games
- installs the proper .kobodlrc file into /home/user,
- can now exit game with esc button and dpad enter button

----
todo:

- menu
- speedier music generation (takes a couple of minutes)

Can I just say....
WOW!!!
Incredible! And I love the pointer control. Reminiscent of Time Pilot controls!
Fast, great graphics, great sound!
Thanx!

Flippin' sweet.

Thanks!

nice but what about the few of us out in the cold with n800 will it work for us?

Love this game.
One thing, unless I'm missing it.
I know I can exit from the menu. But, if I'm in game, (esc) will ask to abort but I can't confirm. I have to die to get back to the menu.
No biggie tho, but if it's an easy keymap??
Thanx again,
desiv

"Motion is with arrow keys - firing with stylus. Esc button exits and dpad-enter key (middle of dpad) confirms exit."

(edit) re: N800 builds - pretty much all these SDL games run fine on N800 - just install with dpkg -i. I'm sorry i haven't spent much time on packaging/installing, this is just a hobby you know.

That's the version I had, but I re-downloaded it again to be safe.
Still the same. I can exit the game from the menu, but I can't abort a game in progress.
I'll reboot to be safe.

Thanks for explaining! I totally missed this because i never stopped playing before dying! hehehe I fixxed it - uploading in a minute. (edit) ok uploaded - will playtest this afternoon a bit - seems to exit fine now.

Also now the *dpad center button no longer pauses the game*, which was hugely annoying.

Thanks again - and cheers - hopefully teh sound load thingy can be fixed soon.

Hmm.... This'd be nice for Diablo... any chance of an OS2008 build?
