[GAMES] Supertux 2 (libGL)

[meveric]

Supertux 2
Is a Super Mario like game with the all famous Tux instead of Mario.






if you don't have it yet you will need the following libraries installed from my repository:

Code: Select all

wget http://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/repository/all/libgl-odroid_20140315-1_armhf.deb
wget http://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/repository/all/libglues-odroid_20140315-1_armhf.deb
wget http://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/repository/all/libglew-odroid_1.10.0-1_armhf.deb
dpkg -i libgl-odroid_20140315-1_armhf.deb libglues-odroid_20140315-1_armhf.deb libglew-odroid_1.10.0-1_armhf.deb

Then you can download and install the game

Code: Select all

wget http://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/repository/all/supertux2-odroid_0.3.4-1_armhf.deb
dpkg -i supertux2-odroid_0.3.4-1_armhf.deb

Please Note: The game was written for OpenGL (not OpenGL ES) that's why you need the driver mentioned here since they work as a GL -> GLES wrapper.
Since the libraries rely on OpenGLES it probably won't work on ODROID XU cause of the missing OpenGLES drivers (as far as i know)

SuperTux
I will later on check into the stable version 0.1.3 also called SuperTux (not SuperTux 2) the version 0.1.3 is running fine in SDL mode and should be available in your normal repository.
I had like 75 FPS running the game from debian wheezy repository in SDL and had about 80 FPS running it with the libGL. This version should run fine on the ODROID XU.

Update 1:

Just made a quick update to be in sync with current git status, as well to bring it into my repository.
You can download it from the all/testing package list simply by typing:

Code: Select all

apt-get install supertux2-odroid

(check the HOWTO in my signature to add my repository to your Linux Debian/Ubuntu distro

if you do not want to download and install the game manually:

Code: Select all

wget http://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/dists/all/testing/binary-armhf/supertux2-odroid_0.3.4-3_armhf.deb

apt-get install -f

Oh! Long waited Super Tux 2.

I didn't guess that libGL can wrap the GLES as a normal GL.
I hope many great libGL games will be executable on ODROID.

the normal libGL can't do that, this is a lib written by the guys from the OpenPandora forum which can translate certain OpenGL calls (normally directed to libGL) into OpenGL ES calls.

[odroid]

Oh.. I see.
It seems to be a subset of OpenGL via wrapping of OpenGL ES.

[meveric]

Exactly.... it's very nicely done, but i think it has potential for even more

[odroid]

Thank you for the confirmation. I'm excited little bit.
I am looking for the PCB/Schematics CAD software which needs the libGL.

Wow, It's been quite some time that I posted update about this game
Nonetheless:
Update:
Updated SuperTux 2 to a 0.5.1 development build it now relies on OpenGL 2.0 implementation of gl4es and should run rather good.
