Transport Tycoon OPEN Source

[Guest djfuego]

I was browsing SF.net today and stumbled upon this link OpenTTD and then thought.. Gee wouldn't that be cool if someone ported it to smartphone.

The Program needs the original game files (Obviously) but the source is right there for a possible SP conversion. I remember being able to playthe original on an old 486 66 and would think a SP could just about cope. Not too sure about having music with it though.

Anyone willing to take the challenge?

Would be a brilliant game if someone could do that!

[Guest beersoft]

no please don't port this, and make it multiplayer over bluetooth

i'll never get any work done :D

later

[Guest ga!nusha]

please some port this over it will be Great

[Guest djfuego]

The name of the file to download is openttd-0.3.6-source.tar.gz It's tar.gz. I think winzip/7zip/winrar will unpack it. All the source you need. :(

Happy coding :lol:

They've got OpenTTD running on PocketPC, and this version runs fine on my Smartphone2. However, we'll need to modify the interface, as currently its only written to use the touch screen.

Just need to do something like ScummVM does on the Smartphone (for mouse control).

[Guest Gorskar]

To Be honest as soon as i saw the hi res screen on the c550 I thought of this game :)

the mouse on scummVM is ok, but could do with settings for acceleration, as you have to hold it too long to move around the screen. (unless this has been tweaked in the latest versions?)

want it to move slowly for a 1/2 second and then shoot away. If you overshoot you let go and move it back in short movements which will be under the 1/2 second before the accelerator kicks in.

So has development started for the smartphone version ?

[Guest Jamma14]

Don't think so, In-fusio (who have also brought midtown madness and crash bandicoot to smartphone) have made a version of zoo tycoon though, if anyone is interested.

i've been away a long time from mobile comuunity....whats wrong with c550?

is it a new device?

[Guest nausea]

Yea, its new, with a screen resolution of 240x320. Have fun updating all of your releases to support the new resolution :)

Yeah, not that I'm much of a windows developer (I know my C++ now but am trying to get to grips with the win32 api :| ) but it shouldn't be too hard to alter the res to 240x320 am I right?

If you could make it C550 compatible it really would be sweet! ;)

I dont know what the rendering code of roozbeh's games looks like, so I dont know. Hopefully his code was designed to be scalable and he can update them fairly quickly. Its not complicated but its time consuming (I.E. boring).
