I've compiled Defendguin 0.0.12 on the Pandora.

Here's the game in PND: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12348452/defendguin-yam-1.pnd

The controls:
  • D-Pad for movement
  • Space to fire lasers
  • P to pause
  • ESC to quit to menu

This is a quick but fully functional port, at the original game resolution (640x480) and game controls not yet adapted to the Pandora. I'll be working on making it widescreen and to use the gaming controls in the future. I also need to hide the mouse pointer.

...I'll have to ask Bill what scheme he uses for numbering, because it hardly feels like an 0.0.12 release. :D

Edited to exchange link to binary for link to PND.

Update: Now available in native Pandora res with gaming controls. See this post.
Update 2: Final build available here.

Need help to make a pnd out of this ?
If so feel free to pock me :)

Sure, help away. :) I was going to figure out how to PND things myself, once I got it scaled correctly and with better controls, but given the screen size is hard coded in, and a lot of the movement, firing and mini-map are based on that size, it may take a decent amount of futzing to fix. I figured people might like to try it out while I futz.

Once you whip up a pxml file its pretty easy to produce a pnd right out of your makefile

Occurs to me i should put up an unzippable pnd template so people can see exactly how it all works :)

Defendguin, now in full screen Pandora goodness:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12348452/defendguin-yam-2.pnd

Changes:
Game altered from 640 wide to 800
Mouse pointer hidden
Game controls altered to be Pandora-friendly:
X to shoot, B to bomb, START to pause, D-pad moves
On keyboard: Q or ESC to quit. SPACE (also) to pause

I'll be uploading this to the app stores if no one finds problems with it in the next few days. Also, updating the first post.

This is excellent :)

I love Williams Defender. Reverse looks 'wrong' but feels right, perhaps even better than the original. Weird...

Cracking game - thanks for this :D
