ANN: I Have No Tomatoes (a new game)

Greetings folks!
This post is a shameless plug so skip it if you’re not interested.
Anyway, I have yet another game to announce: I Have No Tomatoes.

Now, the question is, what to do when you have to waste ten minutes? The
answer is, of course: squash as many tomatoes as you can! This game is
just for that, but it is also a bit more. You may find it not to be
complete waste of time after all… or you don’t.

“I Have No Tomatoes” features solid game play with beautiful OpenGL
driven isometric 3d graphics and nice music.

I got around to installing fmod (I’m on dial up do downloading things
requires some effort). It does indeed have nice graphics and nice music.

The first time I ran it my computer froze about half way through level two
and I had to press the reset button, however the second time I ran it I
did so in windowed mode and it never crashed even though I played for
maybe 5 minutes. Therefore possibly the crash was just Linux being rubbish
and not your fault, I don’t know.

Speaking of fmod: The binary only distribution of fmod makes it
impossible to run this on FreeBSD. I erased all the references to
fmod from the source and gave the game a shot. The graphics are very
nice, and overall gameplay is good. Because of the diagonal view of
the board, the controls are kind of awkward sometimes. Overall tho,
without music or sounds, the game wan’t very fun.

I saw some opensource mod players … but it’s kinda late know since
your game is done :slight_smile:

In fact, I just seek for a lib which plays mods (eventualy through SDL)
and which works under Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Nothing less.

SDL_mixer is relatively common; it uses MikMod for module playback.
I know it works under Linux and Windows; I expect it would probably work
under Mac OS X as well, since it’s pretty portable.

Thank you =)
