Title: Obliterate 1.0 released
Post by: Juju on September 09, 2011, 02:31:37 pm
Kerm Martian released this week Obliterate 1.0, his scorched-earth/tank game for the Casio Prizm.



You can download the game here (http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6709).

Now kerm needs to make it for the cx
Very unlikely to happen if you read this (http://cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5861&start=0) article by Kerm from a few months ago. Plus for the cx, obliterate would have to be programmed in Lua while the Prizm version was made in C.

A Lua version would also be slow as hell.  Kerm hates the CX and new TI calcs in general, like me and many others.  Therefore, unlikely, as z80man pointed out.

with that being said I've noticed a lot of requests from people to port stuff from prizm to CX O.o I think we need a thread to point them to to tell them why it won't happen.  I'll work on it now.

indeed I should, I feel that otherwise we'll get a flood of porting questions :P

Why not just point to my Abandon news article? :)

Actually it wouldn't be a bad idea to increase portability between the Prizm and CX by writing some multi-platform libraries. One the Prizm scene there has been some talk of of porting newlib which is an embedded C standard library implementation. So a port of that to both the Prizm and CX would allow programs that use those capabilities to be more easily cross compiled. At the same time there should also be a multi-platform graphics library that provides a variety of functions and types that can be shared by CX and Prizm programmers alike.

When the CX has C, that is.
