Known bugs:
*Music doesn't start until any sound effect happens (music should start when game starts)

Just Tried it ITs nice and addictive but a litle dificult to play with the keyboard distribution maybe would be beter if ca use for ex one of this secuences W-X-D-A or A-D (for left-right) and H-K (for down-up)or something like that.
Again thanks for the game!!

Hey Aapo,

Thanks for a very cool game. I have a question, though. Just compiled it from latest svn and seems to work ok with the stock mixer. What problems did you face?

Placing right after Mix_PlayMusic (line 81, the if needs {} and probably sdl_mixer.h has to be included) in main.cpp:

Mix_Chunk *sound = Mix_LoadWAV("pathtowhereyouinstallsounds.wav");
Mix_PlayChannel(-1, sound, 0);

is a very dirty hack but starts the game with chosen sound (maybe include 0 byte .wav just for initialisation?) and music plays as soon as menu shows up, so maybe worth including.

Thx for the port!

Am I the only one who can't use up and down keys ingame? So actually, I can't get any further than the first level, because I can't jump.

EDIT: removed post and attachment as new version in repo addresses all issues, not needed

I forgot different keyboard layouts. And I focused that using arrows are kinda hard.

Szopin, playing some sounds when menu-screen appears could be nice version of your suggested hack.

Define "stock mixer" =)

Nokia's SDL-mixer can't play ogg-files, only wavs.
Sound effects are wavs, so they work.
Music is ogg, it won't work.
Decoding ogg to wav produces 47M file, so I decided to bundle mixer to the binary.

New version on extras-devel.
Changes:
*Entering menu will play click (workaround for music). Can be seen also as new feature =)
*Alternative keys added (existing not messed)
Full list:
e or up for jump
d or down for use
k or left for left
l or right for right
f or space for record
Because:
Right hand is now used for moving.
Left hand is used for jumping, using.
Recording:Not sure is left pressing f, or right pressing space.

Upstream is planning to add configurable keys, so this might be unrelated discussion, but feel free to comment.

Hmmm, I wonder, would libsdl-mixer-ogg-mp3-1.2 package be the cause I got it working? If so adding it as dependency to all games/apps using ogg/mp3 would save some space.
Then again it could be ogg-support or the extra codecs (though the latter is supposedly for media player only like gstreamer plugins).

Packagename is right. Problem is that autobuilder uses non-ogg version, so it won't compile code which uses ogg-functions on SDL-mixer.

And if I remember correct, builder refuses to install libsdl-mixer-ogg-mp3-1.2.
