Open Source Games?

Hi- me again.

I'm mildly interested in trying to learn Fenix again.
Tutorials don't help me. I think the only thing left for me is to look at the source of a completed Fenix game for the GP2X and see if I can understand how it works.
The problem is, I can't seem to find any open-source GP2X fenix games. I've searched around here and the archive, but I appear to be missing it. I'm sure it's out there.
So if you could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Here is a list of Fenix games at Boolean Soup that come with a source file:

These games are not for the GP2X, but that shouldn't matter much if your purpose is to learn from their source files.


I'll take a look.
One of the main reasons I want the code is to see how it deals with button input and the resolution. But this will still be helpful.
Thanks. :)

I'd suggest looking at some of the sources on fenixonfire. I've started teaching myself fenix in the last few weeks and have found them very useful. Also here is a quick game i put together yesterday - apologies in advance for lack of commenting and indentation. http://mookie.the-buccaneer.co.uk/GP2X/SpaceRocks2X.prg

I've looked at fenixonfire. I did help me learn how the language works, but it didn't help me learn how to make games specifically for the GP2X.
I think the only way I can learn this language is with trial and error, starting out with somebody else's code (with their permission, of course) , and modifying it until I can underst and what I did right and wrong. It's probably not the best way to go about learning a language.
Does your game run on the 2X?

CODE
set_mode(320,240,16);

This sets the screen surface to be 320*240 and 16bpp

CODE
if(key(_alt))
Do Some Stuff
End

_alt is the B button on the GP2x. There is a full list of the buttons and their symbolic constants in the Readme files supplied with the GP2x fenix runtimes.
