View passing ships with your very own submarine periscope!
Sun/moon and ships move slowly across the screen throughout the day, so the time can been seen through the scope even with the clock turned off.
Sunrise and sunset are at 6am/6pm, with the sun or moon directly above at midday/midnight. Ships sail slowly across the screen from right to left each hour so minutes can be roughly guessed at.
Available for all colour Pebbles but looks best on the Pebble Time Round.
4 player dot munching, button mashing fun! Up to 4 players at once on a single pebble, or play on your own against CPU piggies.

CACK is (or will be) a constuction kit for crap little adventure games. Think Dizzy style gameplay (pick up object, use object etc) with Zelda style top down view. Beta 2 is just a release of the player (editor hasn’t been started yet), but you can still use it to create games if you don’t mind doing a bit of manual editing of xml and writing map data. Included in the zip are gp2x and windows binaries, and full source for building on linux.
04/09/07 Stickman chapter 1 is available.
03/06/07 Beta 2 released.
01/05/07 Work is progressing on beta 2 of the player. Editor not started yet.
Beta 2 changelog
New - New demo games - Bobs Garden by me (woogal) and Operation Cuppa by cHEM. Can set hero direction at start and when teleporting. Hero graphic can be changed with script. Action and object IDs no longer have to be consecutive. Inventory can be named. Inventory can view more than 9 items and hold up to 100. Long inventory item names scroll. Cutscenes with 11 transitions (fades, wipes, and slides). Time based events (action triggered after x milliseconds). Random actions. Object actions can be triggered when walked on. Specific area actions triggered when walked on. Title graphic. An initial action can be called at the start of a new game. USB controller support. Game launcher. Custom quit message. TV left/right positioning (GP2X). Volume controls (GP2X). Fixed - Several memory leaks. Crash with only one word in the usetext. Problems with large numbers of actions or objects. Description text not always disappearing on smaller map sizes. Screen flicker on TV (GP2X). Problems with trying to walk on or use objects off the edge of the map.
19/12/06 Beta 1 released.
Copy the cack folder somewhere. For the GP2X version, place the contents of the gp2x folder into the cack folder, then run cack-player.gpe from the games menu. For the Windows version, place the contents of the win32 folder into the cack folder and run cack-player.exe.
eg, the final Windows folder structure should look something like this –
fonts <folder> selector <folder> demo <folder> .. (other game folders) buildselector.exe cack-player.exe iconv.dll jpeg.dll ... (other dlls from win32 folder)
Games are installed into seperate folders alongside the CACK executable. Cack-player will default to loading the game selector. To directly launch a game instead (eg, for a shortcut) launch with cack-player.exe -game gamename (or on the gp2x create a script containing ./cack-player.gpe -game gamename).
| Windows/Linux | GP2X | |
|---|---|---|
| Movement | Cursor keys | Joystick |
| Use | Return | B |
| Inventory | Right Control | A |
| Exit menu | Escape | Start |
| TV screen position | L and R | |
| Volume | Volume +- |
USB controllers can also be used. Use, inventory and exit buttons are whatever the controller decides are the first 3 buttons. On the GP2X, external controllers won’t control the tv screen position or volume.
03/07/07 Version 0.04 released.
0.04 changelog
Cutscene movies now work (used to cause black screen crashes before). Because movies work, this means episode 4 (The Birth) is now playable. Function of A and B buttons switched to match other software. Pressing 'back' (was B, now A) on the main menu no longer locks the game out. Music and sound device settings hard coded as there is only one possible sound device.
01/07/06 TV out version (0.03 compiled with a later SDL).
06/03/06 Version 0.03 available here. Compatible with readonly filesystems (like theoddbot’s fw1.4), and the save bug seems to have gone. Source is here if you want it.
31/12/05 Version 0.02 available here. Music now works. It should also be compatible with versions 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5. Read the readme carefully for installation instructions.
04/12/05 Version 0.01 available at the gp2x file archive (source is also available there). Sound seems to be ok now (still no music though). Loading and saving appear to work fine, but saved games are not compatible with other ports of Duke3D so you won’t be able to use the same saved games on your PC. Each save takes up around 1mb, so make sure there’s enough space left on your SD card.
31/10/05 Hmm, forgot to update again. Sound is there now (mostly – duke doesn’t speak for some reason). No music because of sdl_mixer needing 14mb of midi instruments installing, and they don’t seem to work even when they are installed.
26/10/05 Ooops, forgot to update this. Fully playable now but a bit difficult to test on a dev board without buttons 🙂 No sound yet as I don’t have a working SDL_Mixer for the gp2x. Not tested loading or saving but I would imagine it works fine.
11/10/05 First basic port of the icculus code working. Doesn’t get past loading the level yet.
05/08/06 0.03 released. TV out support. Letterbox mode for widescreen on a 4:3 display. Widescreen fov fix. USB mouse and keyboard support. Please see the readme.txt for more details. Download from the gp2x file archive.
21/02/06 0.02 released. Is now slightly faster due to using the latest SDL release, shouldn’t crash when only using pak0.pak, and shouldn’t crash in water. Also supports various resolutions up to 320×240 for those that want things to run even faster. Download from the gp2x file archive.
13/11/05 2xQuake 0.01 released. Download from the gp2x file archive.
A port of BobTron from the GP32. Image shown is the GP32 version. The main differences in the GP2X version are background images can be used and because the GP2X has more buttons full control can be selected instead of just left and right.
14/11/05 Download at the gp2x file archive. Source is there too. If the archive is down, get it from here instead, but please try the archive first.
31/10/05 Got bored and decided to try a quick port of sdlquake2. It works, but a little too slow at the minute to be playable (5.5fps average with full detail and sound, 6.4fps with an autoexec.cfg optimised for speed). Will probably need to be coded directly against hardware instead of using linux as there isn’t really enough memory available.
First port of Duke3d for the gp32. Based on the icculus SDL port.
Download
Source code – Only needed for development – don’t download if you only want to play the game.
Here is my very basic port of z81 to the gp32. It’s a port of an older version because it had less files and I’m lazy 🙂 Comes with the zx81 rom and a few games. Included games are free, and no-one seems to know who owns the rom anymore so I think it’s safe to include.
Gbax/emuholic 16 days compo winner!
Game design / code / music (by Donskeeto) all completed within 16 days (my previous 15 day compo entries (BTAL and YAFL) were also coded within 15 days). I know that’s not the strict rules of the compo but I like to see what I can achieve in a limited time.
Review at http://reviews.chemicalkungfu.de
Main EdgeWrite site (read this to learn how to write characters)
A paper on using EdgeWrite with joystick based systems
After reading the above links I wondered how well an EdgeWrite system would perform on the gp32. The result is that it works suprisingly well. After only a couple of days usage I can now enter text fairly quickly (around 10 words per minute) without looking at the gp32 at all, and hardly make any mistakes.
EdgePadEdgePad is a basic text editor supporting edgewrite and the chatboard. Current version has the following features

EdgePad 0.3
I wasn’t originally going to enter this compo due to time, but in the end I decided to very quickly finish off BobTron which I had started a few weeks earlier. The whole game was completed in only a few hours (which isn’t surprising as there’s not much too it).
YAFL will launch fxe and gxb files stored in gpmm.
FeaturesPut yafl.fxe in gpmm, themes in gpmm/yafl, and background and selector graphics in gpmm/yafl/bg and gpmm/yafl/iconhl
Place any custom icons in gpmm/yafl/icons (see the readme file there for more details)
Select your theme/graphics from the settings screen. Use B to bring up the change category menu, and select Settings from the list.
To edit categories you should modify the file yafl.cfg in gpetc (if this file isn’t there, run yafl then select save settings). The structure of this file is as follows –
[category1] # file1.fxe file2.fxe [category2] # file3.fxe file4.fxe ... etc
Modify between [ and ] to change the category name, or add new categories with
[newcategory] #
(the # is important).
A – Launch File
B – Move to category
Select – Show file info and change file category
Start – Save settings
When multiple pages are available (look for arrows in the top right), continuing moving down or up will switch pages
On popup screens, select will return to the launcher screen.
A change to the chosen theme or graphics is saved immediatly. Other changes are saved when a file is launched or by pressing Start.
Backgrounds should be 320×240 8bit (256 color) gif’s, using the standard gp32 palette. Selector graphics are also 8bit gifs in the standard palette, but with a size of 60×40 (Note – If your selector graphics cause YAFL to crash, try increasing the dimensions to 320×240 with the actual graphic in the top left corner).
A theme file should end in .thm and has the following structure (see provided themes for examples ) –
path\to\background path\to\iconhighlight\image Background color(all colors 0-255 from standard gp32 palette unless stated) titlebar color (set to 256 to make transparent) titlebar text color icon text color icon text highlight color icon highlight color (set to 256 to make transparent) icon text background (set to 256 to make transparent) popup box border popup box fill popup box text alternative popup box text (used for alerts and selections) path\to\font END
You can set YAFL as your default file launcher if you have multifw. Simply set pacrom as your default firmware, then in pacrom set yafl.fxe as your quicklaunch item (from options enable quicklaunch, then in the file browser select yafl.fxe with B followed by A). If you want to bypass pacrom’s quicklaunch hold down left and right while booting.
Lazy Reader is a txt viewer for those people (like me) who can’t be bothered pressing a button every time they want to view the next page. Or, to put it another way, it’s a variable speed auto scrolling txt viewer.
FeaturesCopy the contents of gpmm to your smc, keeping the same file structure (ie, make sure the fonts end up in gp:\gpmm\lazyread\fonts)
The font small.bmp is needed the first time Lazy Reader is executed. If you change font and decide you don’t want to use small.bmp again then you can safely delete it.
By default Lazy Reader will look for txt files in gpetc, and .mod’s in gpmm\mod, but you can actually put them wherever you want.
IMPORTANT – If you are upgrading from a previous version you must remove the file lazy.cfg from gpetc (if it exists). All kinds of problems might occur if you don’t.
A – Start/stop scrolling
Up – Slow down scroll speed
Down – Speed up scroll speed
Left – Go back a page
Right – Go forward a page
Select + Left or Right – Jump by 10 pages
Start – Return to Menu
Return to the menu (press start) to save your current position. This will create a file in the same location, and with the same name, but with a .lrp extension.
A font file is simply a bmp containing all 256 ascii characters, so to create your own font all you need to do is create a bmp. The bmp should be 8bit (256 colors), but you only have the first 200 to play with (which should be more than enough for a font). You should also make sure that the first color in the palette is the background color. Note I’ve just noticed that 2 color bmps won’t display correctly – To get around this add an extra color to your bmp.
All characters are fixed width, so first you should decide on the width and height of a character (eg, small.bmp is 8×12, large.bmp is 10×17). Next, create your bmp setting the width to character_width*32 and the height to character_height*8 (that is important – Lazy Reader uses the bmp width and height to determine the character width and height). Place all characters on the bmp in order of their ascii code, spaced accordingly (google for ascii chart or look at an existing font if you don’t understand what the hell I’m talking about). There are 32 characters to a row, with 8 rows. Yes I know there’s no printable characters in the first 32, but the space is still needed (there’s method in my madness). Finally save (you can use RLE encoding) and test.
BTAL is a gp32 remake of a game I originally wrote for the Amiga in about ’93.
New version available (0.2). This fixes a couple of bugs, and levels are now in a sensible order instead of random.
