HEEBO game porting to Sailfish?

[matimilko]

HEEBO game,
Maybe You now it from N9. I loved to play this game and Mats let me to put it on forum if someone wan't and can do the porting to Sailfish.

Mats:
It's free software so I'm OK with anyone making a port as long as they keep the
same license (GPLv3)

The source code is freely available from here:
https://gitorious.org/heebo

Regards,
Mats

Thanks

It's great! I'd like to have it on sailfish. It's a pity that there are a few level (not really a few, like 50, but with these games you always want more: an endless mode would be a great addition).

[matimilko]

Anybody?
On OVI-store is this game 5 starred!

Should be easy to port to Qt5 / Sailfish OS:
https://github.com/sailfishapps/heebo

The initial porting step would look something like this:
https://github.com/sailfishapps/heebo/commit/363701acd0f9057ce59332476c152ba92091050a

Someone, please feel free to pick this up from there and finish it. What's left would probably be testing, fixing bugs, maybe re-enabling particles and RPM packaging (bonus points for libsailfishapp usage). I personally don't have time to pursue this, but the patch above should give a good idea of how to get started porting a Qt4/QtQuick1 app to Qt5/QtQuick2, and heebo was already structured quite nicely for multi-Qt-platform porting (MeeGo and Symbian).

i love simple and funny game

[kimmoli]

I did just send email to Mats about porting heebo to Jolla.
And then found this thread..

I will fork and see is there anything i could assist...

[kimmoli]

Made rpm and installed on phone. Some scaling needs to be done still

And fix the memory overflow during 2nd start...

[kimmoli]

EDIT:

Beta testers wanted

Now needs someone to do some testing, e.g. play it through couple of times :)

removed

It is now sailfish-theme'd partially, about and help pages and the level counter should (me thinks) use sailfish theme colors?

Icon needs some more mullet or waht you think? :confused:
(Icon is shown on cover, below first ss)

Build 2 removed
- Speeded up animations a little
- Restored blink when moving

[matimilko]

Yes, animation is a little bit slow ...

[Silwer]

Just tested a little your Build 2. Animations could be smoother and display contrast level higher.

Also I strongly recomend setting menu bar on the top and not on the bottom as then the upper row is easier to play when holding phone by one hand (currently my dumb is bit short for proper reach).

However, this was one of my favorite games on the N9. So, thank you very much for porting it to Sailfish! I will continue testing... :)

Edited: just played till 8th level. No other issues noted.

[kimmoli]

There is some notable softness on the 'jewels' ..
Maybe it needs them to be regenerated to correct resolution by original artist from originals.
Previous builds had them scaled by Qt, now i pre-resampled them maybe to the correct resolution. but it isn't optimal yet (me think)

Build 3 removed

- Toolbar on top of screen (Jolla is bit large to be used in thumb-only mode)
- Resampled jewels to 90x90

[Rauha]

Ok. Here comes the least usefull tessting report ever. Im drunk. I've. installed it. I never had n9 so I don't know what the hell this thing is about.

I pushing at coloured amn thingies. Sometimes something happens. Sometimes they sort of move, but nothing else happens. its fun. All is good. Tosi Heeboo!

[Silwer]

TO: Kimmoli - build 3 is better. Will continue testing tomorrow.

[Rauha]

En ole alkoholisti.

2/50 is hard. Also the yellow background needs something. kittens. or something cute. Program works ok so far, good job. No bugs.

[maluka]

Build 3 is the first one I've tried and it's running really well. The graphics are amazing, don't change anything. Did the original version include sound?

[kimmoli]

Did the original version include sound?

no sounds in the original... i did miss those.

maybe some whuss whizz could be added ??
(something like jolla ambient sound /usr/share/sounds/jolla-ambient/stereo/push_gesture.wav)

(something like jolla ambient sound /usr/share/sounds/jolla-ambient/stereo/push_gesture.wav)

Yes, that could work. There are quite a few usable sounds in that folder ;)

[v0id]

this is probably my favourite n9 game. played through hundrets of time. i wonder, whether it is possible to add some new levels. I'd love it.

[Silwer]

I have done some more testing (till level 16) and it seems that game is ready to be submitted to Jolla Harbour. Thanks!

[matimilko]

I was playing it till 12,and it's OK. Maybe just a little bit quicker anyway ?
Thanks

[Silwer]

I just made a side-by-side comparison of Sailfish and Harmattan Heebos and only now noticed that explosion bubbles effect is missing. However, I am not sure if it needs to be added or not.

[kimmoli]

explosion bubbles effect is missing.

These were commented out by thp in the first commit (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1403007&postcount=4).

I have to check can i get these (or something similar) back.

I have two special features that could be implemented in Sailfish edition;
- Random map mode
- Current map is 6x9, it could be adjustable, 9x13 would fit nicely on the screen.

Votes for these?

(And i will harbourize it when i get some new graphics from original artist)

[kimmoli]

New icon and coverpage graphics !!

[Miksi]

My gf played it through and only problem she found was that screen blinked black on map 32 when move was made.

[kimmoli]

Couldn't reproduce problem at level 32.

uPDATE available, build 5 download here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgn2ldlgtiz3301/heebo-0.1-5.armv7hl.rpm)

It has the explosions back, and some small adjustments.

I'd like random map mode, and also an "endless" mode (with time attack or something), I don't know if it's feasible.

[cvp]

so, i played all levels, no bugs, all work awsome :D thank you for the Game. Hope you will put new levels in to :D

[Raim]

Thank you for porting this great game! I always enjoyed playing it on the N9 and now on my Jolla. :)

[kimmoli]

Ooo. Approved on first attempt !

It is already downloadable from the store.

[RXShorty]

Works like a charm. Great game!
Thank you :)

[Watchmaker]

And I've already finished it... again :p

[juiceme]

Nice game, really :)
I don't usually play games but Heebo is pretty good.
Now if someone ported a good Solitaire and Mahjong-Solitaire to the device I might like those :)

[matimilko]

If someone is capable to port also this game:
