PWP: PELUCE IN WONDERLAND
1st at Elevator 2000 introcompo
As the compo didn't have any surprisingly good entries, we had to win.
Simple as shit.
Peluce is our usual style except that it's resolution-independent and
doesn't have any ansi graphics.
Everything you see should be taken dead seriously, as usual.
The texts are still in Finnish only.
The binaries
bin/peluce-unpacked linux/i386, uncompressed, using glibc 2.0
bin/peluce-packed linux/i386, compressed using gzexe (urgh)
bin/peluce-static static binary for linux/i386
Other platforms: compile it yourself.
Try editing makefile and typing make.
Running
It uses pure text output.
While coding this, PWPlib suddenly got some irritating bugs we
couldn't fix in time. So, for running:
- Use console, not xterm or anything.
- Have write access to /dev/vcsa* - to ensure this, run as root.
- Use a textmode that is bigger than 80x25. Ok, it works with 80x25
but it looks almost 3d-accelerated with modes such as 132x60 ;)
- Use an ibm font. SVGAtextmode uses latin fonts as default so you
have to set an ibm font with setfont or set an ibm font to
/etc/TextConfig (those cp850 fonts are just fine)
We'll release some kind of a 'final' in a couple of days (fix those
bugs + make it run cleanly from any tty, use those fonts available
in the terminal etc)
A version for MS-DOS, AmigaOS, ...? If you want one, then port one.
We aren't very interested until the PWPlib api gets frozen enough.
