New Game Plugin: Bubbles
Time to unveil the game I've been working on over the holidays:





This is a clone of games like Frozen Bubble or Puzzle Bobble. In fact it uses the levels file from Frozen Bubble, so it has all 100 levels.

This is still a work in progress, but it's very playable in its current state. It should be relatively bug free but please report anything you may find.

There are still several things left to do, but they shouldn't take too much time:
-Done: Support for h300 targets
-Done: Support for ipod targets
-Done: Better graphics, very rudimentary right now
-Done: Game status text on side bars
-Done: Animation for removed bubbles
-Done: Timing system
-Done: Scoring system
-Done: Save/resume games
-Done: Collision detection may need some tweaking

Download:
(Now in CVS, download latest Rockbox build)

No need to port it, I'll have h300 support soon enough. I just need to put the finishing touches on the game engine first.

Cheers. I've tried compiling but get an error in the .zip building phase.

There's a problem with using the "str_tok_r" command on line 313 and 322... It is unrecognized:

/home/Administrator/rockbox-devel/build/apps/plugins/bubbles.o: In function `bubbles_loadlevels' :
/home/Administrator/rockbox-devel/apps/plugins/bubbles.c:313: undefined reference to `_strtok_r'

Hmm, I'll have to check that out when I'm back home. It works fine compiling for the simulator here, but I can't try compiling for the target right now. Can you try compiling it for the sim and see if you have the same problem? That function should be defined in the included file "rockbox/firmware/include/string.h".

I've just updated the first post with my new changes. I've added a few more things:

-Status text, as you can see in the new screenshot.
-Timing system, you now have 10 seconds to fire a shot or it will fire for you.
-Scoring system, each level gives a maximum of 100 points upon completion. One point is subtracted from the max score every second, so the faster you beat the level the more points you earn. While a bubble is being fired and while the game is paused does not count against the max score.
-High scores are now implemented.
-Save/resume games is now implemented.


FingerSoup: You may want to try compiling for target again, I made some changes to the strtok function bubbles was using. What may have been causing problems was that I was using the reentrant version of the function which is completely unnecessary.

Slowly, I can't do any testing with the X11 sim (it doesn't do color), so I'll have to wait a couple days before I'm back home to really get started. It should only be a matter of creating the graphics and plugging them in, no code should need to be changed.

The bitmap defines for each model take care of that. The rest of the code is size agnostic.

Agnosticism is a good thing.

Ok, for all you people who can't compile your own version I've now included a link in the first post to the compiled .rock for the h120 series.

I'm back home now, so h300 support development will begin soon.

Another update!

This includes my first quick attempt at h300 support (as you can see from the updated first post). I spent no more than 20 minutes getting this to work so there may be some bugs, if some h300 owners could try this out I'd appreciate it.

As you can notice from the screenshot I had to cheat a little to get full color support since transparent layers for color bitmaps is not supported yet in rockbox (the ring around the bubbles).

Also, if a mod reads this, this post may now be better suited for the general rockbox section now that this plugin is available for multiple devices. Please move the thread if you like.

Yeah, I'll definitely speed it up later. I left it running slower mostly for testing purposes. Were
