Hey everyone, here’s a link to my first SDL game (requires SDL and
SDL-image – SDL-mixer comes included with the source since it was
modified). It’s not quite finished, but it’s playable :). Give it a shot
and let me know if you have any trouble getting it to run. Thanks!

That’s really pretty cool, I shall definitely be wasting some more time on
it soon.
Some suggestions:
- Add -I/usr/X11R6/lib to the Linux makefile thingamy
Just curious - what headers/libs did you need this for?
GL. It’s the default location for installing openGL libs on Mandrake,
maybe others too.
Also, I assume
you mean -I/usr/X11R6/include and/or -L/usr/X11R6/lib? I’ll add them in
then - thanks!
Oops, I meant -L/usr/X11R6/lib.
- Joystick support (joystick buttons are much nicer to hit
repeatedly than keyboard buttons, and much less noisy).
Is it not letting you configure the joystick in the menu? I use mine (a
USB gamepad) in the game all the time. I think I pretty much just used
the standard SDL_Joystick functions, so if your joystick works in other
SDL games and not this one lemme know 
Ah, yes, the joystick does work, I just didn’t read the README before
playing.
- Mouse support (as above).
Yeah, that’s just plain not implemented yet…seems like it could be a
one-way trip to carpal tunnel!
Yeah, but it would still be cool.
- A list of links to your favourite sites for dowloading mods, or at
least one link to someone else’s list of links.
Oh, also, fullscreen support (either command line option or config
menu), and variable resolution menu. I assume the highscores thing
isn’t implemented yet?

As you mentioned later, some of that stuff is in the README / website
(just edit the file init.cfg, at least until I stop being lazy and put
it in the config menu).
Ah, I see where I went wrong now, it’s /not/ init.cfg you must edit, it is
~/.marfitude.cfg. Perhaps you could say as such in the README?
And all the best MODs are at
http://www.modarchive.com :).
OK, thanks, a link on your site might help others.
Were the high scores not being saved? It should keep your highest score
for each song (even if you don’t play the song all the way through). I
imagine this could happen if the init.cfg (or ~/.marfitude.cfg) file is
Oh, actually it is working, I was just confused as when it says “New high
score” it doesn’t do anything - it doesn’t show a high score list or ask
you to enter your name or anything.
