Circus Linux! - new SDL-based game

I’ve just begun working on a new SDL-based game (yeah, I know, all of the
other ones I’m working on aren’t finished yet*).

It’s called “Circus Linux!” and is based on the Atari 2600 game “Circus Atari.”
(For those unfamiliar with this great game, it’s very similar to Breakout.
For those unfamiliar with THAT game, think: Arkanoid.)

So far I’ve got most of the art done and a title screen with floating balloons.

You can see a screenshot at:

Knowing me, an alpha release of this will be out some time in the next week
or so. :slight_smile:

    • VidSlide is at a stand-still because I can’t get Mixer 1.0.0 to compile,
      and I need it to be able to compile smpeg with “–enable-mixer”.
      Using the old versions just cause it to seg. fault.

      Sam - any idea when Mixer 1.0.0 will be fixed? Or am I the only one
      with problems?!?!

      ( As a reminder, I’m getting a parse error on line 81 of “music.c”,
      before `UNIMOD.’

      I’m using gcc version “egcs-2.91.66” on a RedHat 6.1 box running
      Kernel version 2.2.12-20. I’m obviously using SDL 1.0.0, and
      mixer 1.0.0. )

      As for Defendguin, I’m waiting to see if a newer version of Mixer
      will make it stop seg. faulting (as it seems to be within a mixer
      function when it dies). Any help debugging would be appreciated! :slight_smile:

I just installed a fresh install of RedHat 6.1, and download the SDL rpm
and checked mixer out of CVS. I have no problems compiling it. Do you
have the mikmod library elsewhere on your system? UNIMOD is defined in
mikmod/ptform.h which is included by mikmod/mikmod.h

Is the source available?
If it still dies with the new mixer, I’ll take a quick look.

See ya!

I didn’t check Mixer out of CVS, but I have the 1.0.0 tarball (which I
from what I can tell, is no older than the 1.0.0 sources…)

I ‘uninstalled’ the libmixer.a, mixer.h and mikmod.h, and did
"make distclean" and then ran “./configure” and “make” and hey! It worked! :slight_smile:

Thanks! :slight_smile: I guess that the compiler was looking at /usr/local/… installed
files and not files in the mixer-1.0.0 installation directory.

If I have problems after this, though, you’ll hear about it. :wink:

Yes, http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/defendguin/

Thanks again! :slight_smile:
