So i was able to get a first version working properly, a playable alpha is now available for download. There's one big issue with it though : When there are too much blokcs (about 1 third of the playfield), it will flicker. 3DO weren't kidding when they said that their pixels routines were too slow...

LongTris (WIP)

For now, this is going to be a development thread for LongTris, a tetris clone. I'm going to make sure that LongTris is going to the definitive Tetris clone for 3DO. I don't think a port of Tetris was done or even planned... https://gameblabla.olympe.in/img/longtris.png Downloads: Alpha 1 Github rep...

Re: Halloween/Holiday programming fun!

Okay then, no rules. Cool :D I stumbled upon a cool and portable implementation of Tetris. I think i can release a basic of it (using my library, gameblabla's wrapper) with no sound and then i will maybe make it haloween themed. There's a current lack of a good tetris implementation on 3DO so i'm su...

Ladies and Gentlemen, the first emulator for 3DO ! Granted, it's not as advanced as the PSX's CHIP8 emulator one due to me hitting some bugs in the 3DO libraries... At least you can play with the controller unlike the PSX's one. The CHIP-8 is the probably the only console (it's a VM actually) with t...

Re: OperaFS[De]Compiler commandline or source code?

Unfortunely, OperaFS[De]Compiller does not accept command-line parameters. (At least it doesn't seem to)
There's the source code to a Linux implementation of the OperaFS file system here but not to the compiler itself. You're on your own.

Good luck with your projects !
