Public games repo - Call for code!

VonSzarvas

Seems that having a public repo of the many Propeller 1 Games would be a good thing.

I've started it today!
https://github.com/VonSzarvas/Propeller-1-Games

As I bump into more games on this forum, I'll add them to the repo.

If anyone has content they'd be willing to share, please post the links or upload files here!
Where possible, please include a text file with wiring information and hardware requirements- or point me to a link of that info.


In a few weeks I hope there will be enough content to figure out the best structure. Once that's done, I'll ask our friends at Parallax about moving the repo to their account, and we will be able to share a sticky link back in these forums.



Edit: Maybe not just games-- feel free to share any fully working applications, and as appropriate we can figure out categories.

Funnily, I already have a GitLab repo for this stuff.... Altough it's currently set as private. Contains a lot of games I ported to my board and often with my own improvements. Also most projects have a build.sh file for compiling them.

I'll quickly finish up my current work and make it public, there's a lot of stuff in there.
There's some stuff I've got that isn't in there because it doesn't meet my quality standards - more on that later.

Edit: Here it is: https://gitlab.com/irqsome/ventilator-software

I think the structure I've got going is fairly good, you might want to do something similiar (as alluded to above, my repo is specifically for my board, so stuff that isn't compatible with it won't get added)
The example project that has all the bells and whistles (description, build script, proper organization) is Spintris: https://gitlab.com/irqsome/ventilator-software/tree/master/games/spintris

VonSzarvas

Sounds excellent!
Thank you.

It is indeed later now and I've updated my repo with a giant wall of text explaining how I've organized it (or rather, how I want to organize it) and some other guff.

VonSzarvas

Wow ! There's a lot of great content there- this process deserves more thought and action!

Now I know what I'm doing on the weekend

Wuerfel_21

I've been collecting these for over a year now, so yes, there's quite a bunch.
But there's still some that I haven't found the time to port.

I'll probably write some more README.MDs today to procrastinate on continuing to work on my own game

This is way brilliant!!!

I did some searching and can't seem to locate the finished code (at least I thought there was a zip on the forum) but @Dr_Acula had pacman ?working? on "the touchburger3" Dual 3.2" Touchscreen SRAM board.

https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1122465/#Comment_1122465

I'm pretty sure Propeller_Touchburger_4.zip is a correct schematic, although the 2 boards I still have are the v3 with a small hw error.

https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/comment/1165156/#Comment_1165156

I'll have to pull the old board out and check the pacman zip to see if it was completed. Once I get the basic gui working again on the p2, pacman is next priority. With the way things have been going lately that may be 2025 or so though

rosco_pc

there is this aswell: https://github.com/rosco-pc/propeller-wiki/wiki/Games
but links are most likely not working after all the forum changes (never got round to updating them)

VonSzarvas

Thanks guys.

One of the things to achieve with this, is to have all the source and instructions in one place- rather than rely on links that can go stale.

It's clearly going to take a bit of time to get together, but it will be worth it.

Keep 'em coming !

Wuerfel_21

@rosco_pc I've got all the games on the Wiki page, most are present in the ventilator-software repo (I've just ported Ball Buster), for the rest I've got the source code downloaded. The only exception is Manic Miner, the download is on an external site (and of course dead).
Does anyone have the source?

(Also, did y'all know where you can download the Hydra CD? This FTP server apparently: ftp://ftp.parallax.com/ )

rosco_pc

mmm, the 1st version is still available: http://www.jimbagley.co.uk/ManicMiner.zip (https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/94347/manic-miner-progress/p2)

edit: and @potatohead put a copy of the 002 version here: https://atariage.com/forums/blogs/entry/3393-propeller-hydra-game-releases/

Wuerfel_21

Good job finding it!
I guess I'll have to hack it to use KyeFAT instead of FSRW to enable FAT32/SDHC support.

I did a card game for propeller 12 years ago... Now, I can't find it anywhere here... Seems to have disappeared...
I barely remember anything about it, but I'll post it here anyway...

Ooops… There's no actual game code... This is just the framework for card game...
Thought I did do video blackjack though... I'll have to look some more...

Rayman

Ok, here's the video blackjack game.

Wuerfel_21

So after forgetting about it for a while, I've written some more game README files. No videos for those, for I am not at my PC and my laptop is too old for NVENC.

VonSzarvas

Thanks for the update, and also the other posts further up from Rosco and Rayman.

I should also reply with an update.... We had a chat about this with Parallax, and agreed it would be good to move these directly to the propeller Github. There's a subfolder there for p1 content, which will be the place the games folder ends up. I got a bit "distracted" by a couple new products in November, and decided to work on this over the Christmas holidays instead.

Anything added to this thread will be included, and I'll post an update once we return in January.

Big thanks everyone.

Haven't seen @Darryl 's NES emulator mentioned; it's here - as Baggers responded in the thread, it was one helluva first post to come out with! The source links all seem to still work.

Wuerfel_21

Oh yes, the NES emulator. I've got to try that one, but I'll have to patch it to load from something that's not the EEPROM...

I write a lot of code for escape room props -- do those count as games?

Maybe. If you are willing to share, then I'm ready to create a special category as needed. Escape Room code sounds cool.

More generally... I'm sure any fully operational examples that demonstrate the Propeller capabilities and coding techniques would be a good thing to add to the repo.
In the future the Obex content will migrate to GitHub too, and that will bring a really diverse set of categories.

JonnyMac

Of course I cannot share client code, but I can share generic examples like a simple digital lock using a matrix keypad and LCD. I do a lot of those (as portions of bigger programs). I use a fair number of Parallax RFID readers in game puzzles, too.

demonstrate the Propeller capabilities and coding techniques

I'm pretty good at that.

I agree completely, Jon does wonderful readable code.

It would be neat if there was a video showing 5-10 seconds of each P1 game, just to give people an idea of what has been done.

Wuerfel_21

I've been recording a lot of videos, but they're usually quite a bit longer than 10 seconds (I guess one could cut them down to the juicy bits).

Also, my capture hardware really doesn't like some video drivers...

avsa242

Ah! Werner's ( @zx81vga ) games, too...tried them all...the Sokoban one is my personal favorite - that music gets stuck in my head

He has screenshots of his games, too.

The Lamestation is really neat...Brett and kuroneko both did some code for that, I think. I bought one a few years ago; It was a fun kit to put together.
Lamestation home: https://www.lamestation.com/games/
Github code: https://github.com/lamestation/lamestation-sdk

Wuerfel_21

My ventilator-software repo already has some of the Lamestation stuff (with a modified LameLCD and friends for playing on a TV with a SNES gamepad. It's almost completly plug'n'play. I think the start parameters are different and you ofc need to set a fitting palette).

Wuerfel_21

Being sortof done moving, I have hooked the capture thing back up and am recording more game videos now.

Aside from my ventilator-games repostiory, I think I'll actually link all the new and existing ones in this post here (modem warning?)
