Re: Slysics - Alpha Release. Testers Needed!
 

Yes, the line tool is where it's at. What I would really like to see is some sort of zoom function so I can zoom out and see my creation as a whole. But to be honest, if this thing never changed it would still suck up a lot of my time. :D

Slysics-0.2.3 Release, Beta.
 

Hurray, I am releasing Slysics-0.2.3 today which will be the precursor to the final version that will make it up to extras and downloads.

"Change Log"/Changes:

• Save and load added (Saving large maps may take some time, wait until the save menu disappears)
• D-Pad scrolling
• Direction pointer added
• Distance counters added
• Snap to prev line points option added
• Some bug fixes
• More stuff I can't recall :o.
• World size halved

Btw, I haven't bothered coding the flag manager yet so that doesn't work. Also, if you fall a very long time and reach the end of the world, your game will still crash.

TODO:

• Fix end world crash bug
• Make saving the map screenshots faster
• Clean up the code, make it pretty/better/faster
• Add world objects (instant accelerators, teleports, etc)
• More stuff to come...

So, go install it when it gets through the autobuilder in extras-devel and have fun with the new features and old ones :), and report bugs/requests for features.

Just for kicks.
 

Just for kicks, I decided to make an endless loop for the sled to go around and draw trace lines: (the image is sewed together). The hat stayed stuck to the head so the sled went around and punted the head multiple times :P.

Also, as you can see in the top left, the debug feature which shows some useful information. Should I include this like I did with the distance counters? (Like, do you need to know the velocity?)

Re: Slysics - Alpha Release. Testers Needed!
 

I hate to rain on the parade, but I am having some trouble running the program. Everything installs fine but when I try to run it I get nothing. There is a little jump on the load applet bar but nothing after that. Any suggestions?

Re: Slysics - Alpha Release. Testers Needed!
 

Hmm, could possibly be a segfault, can you run Sylsics-run from the console?

Re: Slysics - Alpha Release. Testers Needed!
 

just installed and when starting from personal menu, it says "excecution failed". can't find Slysics or Slysics-run. only thing that installed was png - files in data and those cpu - executables i think.

with n800

Re: Slysics - Alpha Release. Testers Needed!
 

I installed the new version from Extras-Devel in the App Manager. Wouldn't run from the menu. When I ran "Slysics" from X Terminal it opened a window, then closed it.
The output from the terminal was
---------
~ $ Slysics
Initializing SDL...
Starting Scene...
Fatal signal: Segmentation fault (SLD Parachute Deployed)
Segmentation fault
-----------

I can confirm the same error on my tablet with the new version. Look forward to playing more of this fun tablet game when this is fixed.

Cheers!

Re: Slysics - Alpha Release. Testers Needed!
 

Must of added a file dependency which was on my computer... oops, I'll get to fixing that :o.

Edit:
Hmm, my brother's tablet which also updated runs it perfectly as does mine... hm, how do I test this one >_>... Can you guys try uninstalling it as a whole and reinstalling?

Re: Slysics - Alpha Release. Testers Needed!
 

Hmm, alright, fixed the bug, apparently I left an old launch script in the SVN and only fixed it for version 0.1.0, meh, Thanks javispredo :). Version 0.2.4 should be up in hours/minutes.

Those who don't want to wait, just change the first line of /usr/bin/Slysics-run from "#!/bin/bash" to "#!/bin/sh"
