there are no rules! some people like to solve it in a single stroke. others won't pause. some won't undo. most won't edit. you can even skip straight past the level.

more levels welcome!

How do you save the levels on that garage page? When I click on "save" I get the source code. Do I save that on the N800? if so, where? can I create a directory on any card and point it there for additional levels?

I tried clicking on save in the editing mode but it only saves one game that I can access offline. TIA

you can tap-hold for the context menu and do save-link-as (actually i have
not tried this myself). i will add a "download all" to the collection page
soon.

the editor always saves to the same level filename. you can rename this
later using the file manager.

Like everyone else, I love this game. But I won't play it on my n800 anymore... cause it's killing my screen covers!!!!!

So, I pulled numptyphysics svn on my Ubuntu 7.04 (yeah, I know... ever since I upgraded my Windows 95 machine to Windows Me!...)

Code:

svn checkout https://garage.maemo.org/svn/numptyphysics

apt-got a bunch of stuff:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libx11-dev xlibs-dev

(not sure if all were completely necessary, though)

And attempted to compile in the numptyphysics/trunk folder:

Code:

make

Had to fix one little problem that I couldn't get by in the end:

Code:

g++ i686/Path.o i686/Canvas.o i686/Levels.o i686/Game.o i686/libbox2d.a -Li686 -lSDL -lSDL_image -lX11 -o i686/Game

Created /usr/share/numptyphysics and copied all the *.png, *.jpg and *.nph files along with the i686/Game binary there.
Created a link from Game to numptyphsyics and added it to my path.

Zipped up my /usr/share/numptyphysics directory.
Began writing this post.
THANK YOU TIM EDMONDS!

In case anyone wants to play (or develop levels for) numptyphysics on Windows machines, I've done a very quick port to WIN32. You can find the patch against SVN r42 and a compiled .exe package there:

http://thpinfo.com/2008/numptyphysics/

The data files are placed in the subfolder "data/", relative to where the exe is put. You can put downloaded levels there and when you save a level you have modified or created, you can copy it from the "data/" folder (the L99_... file, same name as the standard numptyphysics on Maemo/Linux).

Thanks to Tim for this great game!

Heh, what a turnaround! Is this the first time that people have ported a tablet app to desktop machines?

[additional steps and packaging]

Did you try just 'fakeroot debian/rules binary' to make it to a .deb? Should work, or at least with just minor modifications. I built my version for OS2007 like that.

No, 'vagalume' (the last.fm client) appeared on desktop Debian a while ago.

i develop this mostly on ubuntu (64-bit) so should build and run without too much
hassle. i haven't finished the ubuntu packaging but but a quick
dpkg-buildpackage should get you most of the way there.
