I'm pleased to announce the initial port of TechnoballZ for N900.

It is an addictive and very advanced brick-breaker game.

It is currently available in extras-devel and will stay there unitil I change the keys to something more sane. Currently it uses the arrow keys, the space bar (for releasing the ball), the control key (for firing) and another key I'm not aware of (as tilt).
Get it from extras-testing and don't forget to vote and/or comment.

The game is fully optified. I don't know about the dependencies, but they are pretty standard (sdl and vorbisfile) and you might have them already.

To exit from the game, either loose, use ctrl-backspace or press f and then close the window.
To exit the game press backspace.

Keys are:
z for shooting the ball
x for firing (when having the proper powerup)
c (keep it pressed) for gigablitz and tilt
backspace for ending the game
p for pause
f for fullscreen/un-fullscreen

Menu selection is performed with arrows and 'z'.

You can get it from here.

And here are some screenshots.

fantastic work!!! many thanks V13. any chance of touch screen support?

Thanks V13, and I appreciate your work.
as I am also a huge fan of brick-breaking games.(ahh...Woody pop..)
thanks.

I believe it already has :-)

Missing dependencies for me... anyone with similar problem?

Can you give some more info? How did you install it? Which dependencies are missing? What repositories do you have enabled?

FWIW: I've it installed it in my n900 and I don't remember using any library from extras-devel.

clicked on the link here... downloaded from garage page.. open with app manager ... missing dependencies...

libmicmod2
libsmpeg0
libsmpeg0
libmikmod2

I see them both available from extras-testing:

libsmpeg0
libmikmod2

Do you have extras-testing enabled? Perhaps you need to run an update in the application manager to fetch the new lists.

TecnoballZ 0.90-4 is now in extras-testing. Get it, test it, vote it, have fun...

Have a look at the first post of this thread for the list of keys.
