high,
Donkey Punch Adventure is officially linux compatable. (big thanks to doc!! check out his website) Also, i have released the source code under the GPL (crappily coded, though, my first real game ). Another thing, i made the game a little easier for those who thought it was too hard the first time around... try playing again... make sure to make full use of the bombs and teleports!! heres the controls (also available in game):
press Z to use a warp (you only get a few each board)
press SPACEBAR to drop a bomb once you picked one up. also, press spacebar again to detonate a bomb you have dropped.
press p to pause the game
if you somehow teleport into the enemies cage, and you are stuck, then you can kill yourself by pressing K.
press Q or ESC to quit
click here to get the windows or linux version of the game!!![edited by - graveyard filla on May 20, 2004 5:39:05 PM][edited by - graveyard filla on May 20, 2004 5:45:37 PM]
Good on you for porting! I'm just compiling it now for my PPC Linux box.
EDIT: This is a neat clone of pacman (the sounds are a bit annoying) and I think it has potential. It works well under Linux, even on my relatively piddly machine.
Good work, it looks a hell of a lot better than my SDL games. I had to change two or three things to get it to compile (#include <string> in the level editor header, comment out #include <istream> in all the headers).
Two tiny snags in the install process. First, the file is an uncompressed tar, so you shouldn't name it .tar.gz. Second the 'donkeypac' script expects 'donkeypac-real' to be on your executable path - it shouldn't.
Otherwise, it's fun. Congrats.
Is that what all your C++ & SDL & GL questions were leading toward?

Seems to be fine now. I had gotten a warning ''not in gzip format'' the first time, and plain untarring had worked.

Some browsers that can handle .gz as a valid transfer encoding unpack the file on the fly. Normally, that should just be done to stuff the browser wants to display, but some just unpack everything.
Could be a problem with the MIME-type settings.
(Edit: re-wording, of course newer versions of Mozilla can also handle gzipped content...)

Don''t give me too much credit, all I did was point out a couple of #include "windows.h" lines and something to do with filename case, and wrap the whole thing into a standard package. Most of the code itself was already portable - which was entirely the work of graveyard filla.
