Since several persons on the compo blog and the IRC channel seemed interested in my original idea, despite the closeness with the previous Mini, I am hereby releasing the aforementionned Retro engine!<\/p>\n

Weee!<\/p>\n

Source code<\/a>, Linux binaries<\/a>, Windows binaries<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, it lacks terribly of Windows binaries. I’m terribly sorry, but couldn’t get my cross compilation thingy to work. It usually goes flowlessly, but here I’ve been battling for an hour, and I gave up.<\/span><\/p>\n

EDIT: Thanks to Sos, we now have Windows binaries. Yepee! Thanks a lot to Sos. All hail Sos!<\/p>\n

If someone with a good heart would like to, it can be built as follows: compile io.c retro_lua.c and lua_api.c into retro.exe. That’s all. But you’ll need dev libs for SDL, SDL_Image, SDL_Mixer and Lua 5.1<\/p>\n

First one to publish a windows binary will win my eternal gratitude, and a cake*<\/p>\n

Both source and Linux distribution contain full documentation (I hope), and an example game to help you get started.<\/p>\n

And, as promised also, there is (a bit more) than a week before the actual Mini LD, which will therefore be held on the week end of the 20-21 of March 2010. No worries though, we’ll have the usual “take 48h when you want” policy, or even more if you like.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Okee. I hope I didn’t forget anything. Of course, don’t hesitate to ask questions on IRC and in the comments. Meanwhile, I’m gonna catch some z’s (I just love this expression, sorry).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yours truly,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tenoch
