The game has been already ported to :

- Windows
- MacOS X 10.4
- Amiga OS 4
- Linux
- BeOS

using OpenGL/SDL or with a custom build software renderer.

If some developer are interested, they can grab the GPLed source from.

I guess doing the MorphOS port should takes few hours...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nogravity/

The game was working on a BeBox dual 66Mhz with 16MB of RAM.

You know, lot of things are already ported to MOS, but can't be available because they require elements that will only be present in MOS1.5...

Wanted!

Original and extraordinary MorphOS software!

I wonder where they all got MorphOS 1.5 to port all the things for it. But its nice to see things are ported for 1.5 so in 5 years I can use it.

Quote:
Probably most developers don't have MorphOS 1.5 but rather some components of it.

All 3D accelerated SDL programs compiled with the new powersdl SDK require new tinygl.library, for example.

And from my personal experience (for non-SDL programs), tinygl.library 0.2 has some bugs (that are easy to avoid anyway) but the programs will work only on Voodoo cards untill MOS1.5 release (probably most users have Radeon)

However, have you not noticed the strong development activity of MorphOS lately? The update cycle has increased dramtically. It also seems that Frank Mariak is putting alot of energy into the project and Ralph Schmidt is very busy with it as well. Combined with the rest of the steady MOS team can really make some things happen. It seems that the Morphos (1.5) should be a major version of MOS and I'm hoping they will release it for the summer so that some internet hype can happen.

Well, my post is to let the MorphOS / PegasOS users / open source developer to be aware about the source code availability of a 3D game that works on PowerPC and which can works with or without 3D acceleration and should match the requirements of thoses operating systems.

In which Galaxy?

You dont need TinyGL to port this game. There is software renderer option in sources.

Unfortunately there isnt standard configure script in sources and you must create Makefile on your own. In addition I recommend using GCC3 since using GCC2 is way too much work with this.

Software rendering should work well now after the author has made it more endian aware.

You can configure for Linux and tweak the makefile a bit after that. It's better to check preferences.c, config.h and locate then endian definition somwhere (LSB or something).

Where can I get gcc3 for MorphOS?

Quote:

It is build-in in MorphOS 1.5...

You need to defines LSB_FIRST in config.h (located in /rlx32/include)

Probably you need a #ifdef MORPHOS or something.

If someone can told me how to detect that a code is compiling for MorphOS, I could update the CVS for that as well.

It should compiles with GCC 2.95 (same compiler used in BeOS).

The code compiles well with GCC 3 and GCC 4 (used in MacOS X version).

As said before, there is a software renderer built-in, which is optimized for the game.

It's playable on my 1Ghz G4, even compiled for 'PowerPC' generic.

#ifdef __MORPHOS__

works for MorphOS.

Edit: Ok, tried it again from CVS this time. But bootstrap doesnt work on MorphOS. Oh well, looks like I have to ssh to isoveli again.

Ok, doesnt compile on MorphOS so I decided to give up.

@DJBase

GCC is here. You must crosscompile sources on Linux and maybe apply few patches. I'm sure you could compile 4.1 snapshot over weekend.

You probably need libPNG and OGGVorbis, Zlib, and SDL.

Download OGG : http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ogg/libogg-1.1.2.tar.gz

Download VORBIS: http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.1.0.tar.gz

Download LibPNG: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libpng/lpng128.zip?download

Download SDL: http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
or
http://www.lehtoranta.net/

Download ZLIB: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libpng/zlib-1.2.2.tar.gz?download

Thoses are probably not available by default on the MorphOS, so it needs to be downloaded and installed.

Can you give some details of what's went wrong ?

I played No Gravity on MacOS and i have to confess that i got bored after a few minutes. I played for an hour just to see if i could get some excitement after a few stages but it's only a lovely but boring game. My opinion on the game.

In file included from ../../rlx32/src/v3xscene.c:39:
../../rlx32/include/v3xdefs.h:130: warning: unnamed struct/union that defines no instances
../../rlx32/include/v3xdefs.h:139: warning: unnamed struct/union that defines no instances
../../rlx32/include/v3xdefs.h:153: warning: unnamed struct/union that defines no instances
../../rlx32/include/v3xdefs.h:162: warning: unnamed struct/union that defines no instances

etc etc

It seems to depend on GCC extension which is not present on GCC2.

Yes, it is using 'anonymous' struct usage.

There is a patch for GCC for fixing that.

It's just warnings, not errors, so you can still compile the code.

On BeOS, I used to force the C++ compiler usage in order to get ride of thoses warnings.

There is a page for compilation instructions :
http://www.v3x.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=270

And I've updated the CVS with #ifdef __MORPHOS__ in config.h
