Any news progress ?

Nope.

I've been working on a re-implementation of a very popular and very funny simple little flash game for SEGA Saturn.

(supposed to be a short term project)

Last week I got all sounds, sprites and backgrounds working on Saturn.

To ease game-logic debugging, I decided to add the option to use SDL and

applied a whole restructuring to ease programming of the game(with other flash games in mind).

Well, the SDL version on my iBook is almost at the point where the Saturn version is.

I like the idea to have it running on Saturn, GP32, Dreamcast, Windows, MacOS X.

But as I ripped all graphics and sounds from the original game(what a work!),

I will definitely get problems when I release it without permission.

Hopefully I get permission by the author....I'll ask him later when it's almost done.

So maybe I'll contribute a GP32 port to

GBAX 2005...

and a Dreamcast port to

Dream Coding Grand Prix 2005...

and maybe this will focus some people to the original SEGA Saturn game. :cheers

Good idea. What are the games you plan to port ?

Will have to wait untill I get permission by the author.

Can't say if I continue with other flash games.

I made some cool Gimp scripts such that I could easily create GFX sets for 3 different screen resolutions, each with and without alpha blending. All 6 variants are working (SDL).

This has been done to adapt GFX quallity for non Saturn platforms.

Hopefully I can finish the MacOS X SDL version in some days. Then I will do the Windows->Saturn->GP32->Dreamcast ports.

			I asked for release permission today. Wish me luck, I'm not very optimistic. This isn't the first time I asked someone on such a topic...without success.

			The flash game remake is going on very fine. I do now have SDL versions for Windows and MacOS X. Maybe some trustworthy people want to betatest the stuff? PM me your email-address and I send you a copy. But for now you have to agree not to give the game or any information about it away to anyone. As far as I know the original is still used commercially...

Of course, collision is disabled. When I paused the work, I was going to verify and test collision detection.

(If collision is activated, you can't drive across some some of the track's faces and I didn't know why.)

The track is too small and tight, too.

What might look like a collision is just the downforce, because the track border are faces of high slope.

Anyway, I found it faster than the original sample, I've added it to the Saturn program page

I have the full week to try to compile the sources and test it
