Mobility

Wow. Courtesy of jvprat, the mansion is now navigable. This is not *that* big a step from where we were before, but it feels enormous because it actually makes the game at least partially playable (whereas before we essentially just had a movie player). As you can see, the engine also compiled on Windows CE with no changes at all.

There is still plenty left for us to do: the MIDI music, save games and, well, the puzzles. But this is so exciting!

GJD capable

The video above celebrates the fact that my "engine" can now pull a vdx from a gjd directly and play it (previously, in case you haven't been following, I had to extract the vdx with a command line tool first).

Enough with procrastinating. Now I have no excuse but to attempt some disassembly. Well, I could work out how to do sound / xmidi, but I think I'll save them for later.

Moving pictures

If you can see it at this crap quality... I managed to get the animation frames working. Timing is not adhered to (by any means), but all the frames are in there.

ION, given I have 4 bluetooth devices, 2 of which have video cameras on, you'd think I'd be able to transfer the video easily. No. It was possible, but I had to open the linux app that received files. Would be good to have that built into the bluetooth, or at least the option to start it whenever a bluetooth device is connected. Anyway, done now. The next question is, will this video work?
