I had a look and c-dogs seems to be written in C (cyberdogs is not) and it does look good, too. But I can't test any gameplay, since my character dies immediately after game starts. Possibly too fast computer ?

One year since the last puzzle/quiz, time for a new one, don't you think so?

What's this:

Well, it's not exactly what TakaIsSilly asked for when he won a previous quiz, but I think it does as well.

The ROM info text in the 32K color demo shot gives it away; it's snes9x...

Hey, that's correct! But sorry, there is no prize this time... .

BTW, it does run on real Saturn. More info on how this started and how it did end.

Yeah, it's nothing more or less, currently.

Yes. A compatibility list doesn't make sense now, but I know that blackthorne works, for example.

Okay, next round:

Without looking at the filenames or URL, tell me what is this:

Hopefully this one is a bit more difficult ...

VBT, please don't tell what you already know.

Has it something to do with the news you posted not so long ago ?

 

[RockinB]

Noone got a clue?

 

[slinga]

It looks you made some modifications to the font?? No clue, just guessing.

 

[vbt]

is there something similar to the news "New 3d Saturn homebrew demos by mic! they don't use SGL " ?

Runik proved to be a very bright guy with this statement.

Oh yes I didn't understood Runik's post like this

I'm disappointed that (almost) noone found it out :huh

[post=144664]Quoted post[/post]​

Yes, the font is a different one. But I didn't make any changes in your program.

The solution is: a SGL replacement.

Wait, I'll open a new thread.

@Topic:

Last friday midnight I ported TTT - Tic Tac Toe (SDL) to Saturn using a few SDL wrappers.

I'm currently trying to teach Arnold a little bit, he'll try to apply some additional polish.

I think people would love an SDL wrapper (maybe one exists already?). Would encourage a lot of porting and development I think (I found SDL to be very easy, not as fast though of course as the original platform).

Initially I wanted to use sprites, but then I remembered that SGL containes a bitmap library and this one behaves just like SDL!

The wrappers however are game specific, I made it the easy way and used SDL variable names as indices in an array of images or sounds. To me it seems to be rather easy to use this approach in other simple SDL games of the same author. Maybe I will do it.

BTW: the source is online
