Sources and PalmOS3.5 port (Splitted from supaplex scissors)

That sounds like a really ambitious project, regarding the usual hardware PalmOS runs on, and regarding the actual system requirements of R'n'D!

That's a *really* good value for 16 MHz, I must admit! :-o
> So if you want I can talk about it.
Yes, of course! I'm very interested! Too bad that I only have an old Vx where it won't run... :-(

Of course, there are some big limitations: no CE, only default graphic, no sound and music, not-soft scrolling . But now I can play first 39 levels of rnd_tutorial_niko_boehm (there is a bug with gravity on 40th level) absolutly in the same way as in RnD. (so almost all logic, graphic and animation from RnD is working fine).That sounds like a really ambitious project, regarding the usual hardware PalmOS runs on, and regarding the actual system requirements of R'n'D!
Upgrade to 3.5 by downloading new ROM and you can play!Too bad that I only have an old Vx where it won't run...

That's really great!! :-)

How much memory is needed for the upgrade and the PalmOS R'n'D version?
I think that old beast has only 8 megabytes of RAM... :-/
BTW: From where can I get the R'n'D PalmOS version? In any case, I would like to have a look at the sources! :-)

Just noticed that I already have PalmOS version 3.5.0.
Well, it is very good!

I have Palm M105 with 8Mb, but I can tell that on Palm M100 ROM with 2Mb game works as on my device:)
If that would be OK, I would indeed still need the program itself (and the source code, please!) .
I will send you all at monday. (now I haven't it at work - only home, And Internet I have only at work - too expensive for home)
P.S. program is 260Kb only:)

BTW: Is this a bug you also encounter in the "full" game (3.1.0 for Windows or Linux), or does it only happen in your stripped-down version?

Sounds great!

I'm very curious! :-)
