This is the Rockbox port of Fabien Sanglard's "Fabother World", an Another World
|
||
|
|
interpreter.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Porting process:
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The original code abstracted most of the platform-specific tasks, such as file I/O,
|
||
|
|
sound, input, and video. However, the original code was in C++, so it was converted
|
||
|
|
to C class-by-class. The conversion was attempted to be as conservative as possible,
|
||
|
|
so little code was rewritten during the conversion process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes:
|
||
|
|
------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Optimization is badly needed.
|
||
|
|
- Vertical stride support is almost there.
|
||
|
|
- The game looks terrible in B+W/grayscale. This was the primary reason no attempt
|
||
|
|
was made to support these targets.
|
||
|
|
- The game does not run well on devices that have an LCD with a vertical stride.
|
||
|
|
- The M:Robe 500 is the only color device that meets this criterion, so it is
|
||
|
|
disabled by default.
|
||
|
|
- Sound doesn't sound 100% like the PC version. Perhaps the frequency reported to
|
||
|
|
the mixer is incorrect, or the buffer size is too big so that short sounds are
|
||
|
|
being missed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To do (in no particular order):
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Support vertical stride LCD's
|
||
|
|
- Support grayscale/monochrome LCD's
|
||
|
|
- Optimize
