Public Commander Keen Forum

Pelya, where have you copied the gamedata to? My Xcode project file copies it automatically into the application bundle. If it is missing, it wont start -- it probably will have exactly the behaviour you described (or it will crash).

Hey pelya, haven't you read my other answers to you? See also my comment on GitHub. You have based it on the wrong branch (master) -- I have already done all that work (in the iphone branch).

I wonder, is that picture mirrored or is the app mirrored on your iPhone?

You could just press top+left at the same time to move diagonal - same way as with keyboard. Also I think pogo+fire+jump should not be on the right side but on the bottom. The way you naturally keep your iPhone/iPod in your hand would make it difficult the way like in your draft (I think... perhaps ...

Wouldn't you accidently press pogo all the time? You only have one single finger on each side of the screen. So when I use the movement buttons, I tend to just move from left to right. That workes fine with the current way but not in your case (or at least it is harder to do). For those who haven't ...

ModMyi (one of the default apt repos of Cydia, the most common apt-get interface on the iPhone) has added Commander Genius to their repo.

Oh, and you have to reboot the phone after running it. I think you messed it up, Pelya. :p Pelya, have you read my comment on the first commit? I am not sure if you got an automatic mail. Anyway, it seems that you based it on current master. This probably will not work because many things don't wor...

Btw., what exactly is faster in current SVN over the last? I mean ingame. I think graphic blits are the bottleneck on iPhone, we need to use OpenGL. That is, we need to get rid of the scrollbuffer and just use textures for all tiles. I think that is the only way to make it much faster. OT @pizza: Yo...

The S8000 is Java based, that is the problem. I didn't searched much but I didn't find a way to port native C/C++ based games (which uses SDL) to Samsung S8000. But I may be wrong here, perhaps I have just not find those information.

I only have an iPhone, so I cannot really test other systems. But it should be very easy to port it to all systems which have a good base (Linux or Unix). That is the iPhone, the iPod, Android (aka Google Phone) and Maemo (Nokia Internet tablet, e.g. N800 and others). Then there is Symbian which is ...

First, can you send a copy of your mail to id to our mailinglist? And have you send them a link to teh app I just made? I think that would give them kind of an impression of what it could look like. Then, as far as I understand, even when we go over Apples AppStore, we don't need any permission to p...

All of the work which was done on GSoC was already merged into the main SDL-1.3 branch afaik. I have used current SDL-1.3 head. That one worked just right of the box, even provided an iPhone Xcode project file. Have you read the messages on the mailinglist? I wrote a bit about that. I also ported ou...

I just made an update. Added some further control, also some optional graphical overlay for the controls so you can see them (but you can also hide them). Game is also more smooth, I think it is really well playable. Also fixed some cases where you were not able to go out of a dialog (because you ne...

Afaik, ID doesn't have the (only?) rights on the old Keen episodes. (Read http://www.3drealms.com/keenhistory/ ) 3D Realms has, I think, at least they are selling the games. Not sure, didn't quite understand that situation, seems to me even themself don't really know who has which rights. The curren...

This looks really nice and interesting! I love the idea. I always thought that Keen in 3D would probably be lame and not really the same game feeling but the screenshots look very promising.

I hope this is going to be open source. I'd love to join this project!
