Tgb Goes Lcd
by Philip Mansfield · in Torque Game Builder · 03/12/2006 (3:35 pm) · 9 replies
As part of a remake competition on another site, I decided to resuurect an old handheld LCD game into a more modern platform.
Enter: TGB, a scanner and PaintShop Pro.
Exit: One week tidying up the graphics and a weekend of coding.
Result: Terrahawks - The Battlehawk
The game itself is done, and completely playable. I just need to record the blips and beeps from the handheld, capture one more graphic and finish the demo mode. Once that's done (hopefully over the next couple of days) I'll stick up link for your downloading pleasure.
If I ever see another schedule command again, it'll be too soon!!

The demo mode isn't in. I got confused trying to implement it, so left it out. I'll probably look at it again, but I think I might need to recode parts of the game to make it work properly.
Hopefully everything else works OK though. Let me know if it doesn't.

Well sorry if I make you mad, but as an OS X user I couldnt pass the opportunity to play your game so I kinda ported it to OSX by placing the Mac version of TGB instead of your windows exe and the dll's (don't know if are needed) from my TGB distribution... And it worked like a charm. Again I hope you dont get mad for it but here is the OSX version for those like me that would like to play the game using my Mac computer...Mac Version: www.medialuna.org/demos/terrahawks.zip

Ha ha ha.. It's your game not mine, all I did was to make it playable on a Mac... :) You can do whatever you want with that Zip, and don't worry about the link as it will be permanent...
