I ported TuxKart to Win32 last night. It was pretty easy. It
is very runable at 640x480 with accelerated OpenGL on a P2-333.
I found a bunch of typical unix-isms and window-isms in the code.
This is a common one that doesn't work in windows:
for ( int i = 0; i < foo; i++ ) blah();
for ( int i = 0; i < foo; i++ ) moreblah();
There were some header file adjustments, and some system functions
that have different names, eg access() and chdir().
The GLUT game mode doesn't work as advertised on my system, so I
hacked it to run in a window like non-win32 systems. I want to
investigate this more. It *should* work.
Also, the joystick code misbehaves if you have a broken joystick
driver. My WinNT joystick driver stopped reporting buttons. All
buttons are set. It might be the port HW. I tried other sticks.
Anyway, after unplugging the joystick, everything works fine.
I'll clean up my changes and put them, a DevStudio workspace and
project, and an executable Win32 Tuxkart on a website later. Maybe
tonight or this weekend.
Thanks Steve and Oliver. I have some neat ideas for TuxKart.
Regards.
