Hi.

 

I wrote about our experience trying to code a game and ending up with a mere technical prototype here: http://slowfrog.blogspot.fr/2012/08/chickenpix.html

We learned a few lessons though.

By the way, if you want to try Chickenpix first-hand, you can get a Windows binary package on github: https://github.com/slowfrog/chickenpix/downloads

I'm always happy to read postmortems. Your game sounds interesting, is there a linux binary available? I'm too tired to build anything right now :-/

Hi.

I've just uploaded an archive of my Linux build at the same location. I'm not entirely sure it works out of the box. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Linux package distribution.

It's been built on a Debian 32 bit VM and it will probably need quite a lot of pre-installed libraries. the ClanLib version, clmain, will require ClanLib 2.3. The SFML version, smain, needs SFML 1.6. Both require Python, but I don't know if they need a specific version: I used Python 2.6 on Linux, but Python 2.7 on Windows.

If you have a try, let me know if it works for you.

 

Laurent.
