Games added to the autobuilder webpage
Alan
Unix Porting Project (UPP) website setup in the autobuilder
and built and placed on the autobuilder website at:
http://www.riscos.info/packages
The games are:
Heroes - v0.21 (this is the same version as on the UPP)
Collect powerups and avoid opponents trails
You need to also download heroes-data for the data for
the game and can optionally download heroes-sound-effects
and heroes-sound-tracks for sound and music.
Penguin Command - v1.6.10 (new version)
A missile command clone
RockDodger - v0.6a - (not sure what the UPP version wass)
Dodge and blow up rocks with your spaceship
Rocks and Diamonds - v3.2.4 (new version)
A game like Boulderdash or Emerald Mine
xu4 - v1.0beta3 (new version)
Ultima IV for modern operating systems.
To get the music for this game also download the free
software midi patches (freepats) from this site.
I've tested the above programs on an Iyonix and am fairly
certain they should run on an A9 or RiscPC with enough
memory.
If a game runs but seems jerky it is always worth
switching the music off to see if it will run smoother.
The libraries provided on the website are now in ELF format.
libsdl1.2 and libsdl-mixer1.2 have also had a minor update
for RISC OS.
libxml2 has been added.
The games can be downloaded directly from the website or
by using !RiscPkg from the RISC OS Packaging project.
See the autobuilder website (link above) for details.
The Autobuilder website is a location for packages that
are built using the GCCSDK autobuilder. The GCCSDK
autobuilder is a powerful system for automatically fetching,
configuring and building of sources and dependencies for
programs, making use of the porting scripts
