MK2k - Dev and 'tings

Description (by the original author and allegro.cc)

is a very small game. It runs in a very low resolution with only four colors and will not provide you with any real time video or 3D effects. Nor will it snare you with a compelling storyline. It's only a short platform game with a few tricks up it's sleeve. We're sure you'll like it.

R2 Update Notes

After playing through all original levels and collecting every cherry and every star in them, you are able to enter a bonus game (on the PC by pressing F1). This wasn't possible in the R1 PSP port, so here is the R2 update. Press the Square Button in the stage selection menu to enter the bonus game.

Chess Clock aka Game Clock PSP 1.1 is an Analogue Chess/Game Clock Simulation for the Playstation Portable.

Features

• Each clock containing:

1. big clock pointer
2. small clock pointer
3. flag
4. star-shaped wheel for activity indication

• 2D physics simulation on the flags
• The pointers are rotating by an estimated angle velocity, so this app does NOT feature the most accurate clocks on the planet (it may vary by some seconds per hour)

• Ported from JGE++ to the Phoenix Game Engine (PGE)
• Some graphical glitches on Slim PSPs and FW 4.xx+ resolved
• Enhanced accuracy

By the press of a button combination you can then switch from category to category which then gets shown to you right on the XMB.

• The content of the memorystick gets automatically refreshed (no need for the workaround of activating/deactivating the USB mode anymore)
• The standard XMB functionality should now work correctly

Description

Phoenix Game Engine (PGE) is a fully featured engine for game development written by InsertWittyName and MK2k.

PGE Lua is the Lua wrapper of that engine.

Video

Features

• pge.controls - Handling button and analog input.
• pge.dir - Directory access and file system operations that deal with directories.
• pge.file - File access and file system operations that deal with files.
• pge.font - TrueType font loading and drawing.
• pge.gfx - Graphic primitives drawing.
• pge.math - VFPU math module.
• pge.mp3 - MP3 playback for background music.
• pge.net - Net and socket functions.
• pge.texture - Image loading and drawing.
• pge.timer - Timer module.
• pge.usb - USB functions.
• pge.utils - Utility functions for using the dialogs and retrieving system information.
• pge.wav - WAV loading and playback for sound effects.
• pge.zip - ZIP file access and extraction.

PGE Lua uses a port of the latest Lua release 5.1.4, which has been optimised specifically for the PSP.

PGE Lua comes with 23 fully commented samples demonstrating how each module is used.

Alongside that, full documentation is available via the homepage: http://pge.luaplayer.org/

There is an emulator for PGE Lua which runs on Windows, Linux, OSX and allows PSP-less development. This is almost complete and will be released at that time.

Installation

Copy the 'pgelua' folder to PSP/GAMEXXX/ (or PSP/GAME/ if your kernel is set to 3xx/4xx in the recovery menu).

None as of this writing. With this being an initial release I would expect there to be a few undiscovered bugs. Let us know.

Credits and Greets

Coded in pure C and ASM using the homebrew PSPSDK.

Thanks to TyRaNiD for psplink, which was used extensively in debugging.

Thanks to all in #psp-programming on freenode.net, where quality homebrew is produced. Special thanks to those in #lua who know so much about Lua it scares me.

Personal thanks to romero126 and Soulkiller, who tested, provided feedback and helped me steer PGE Lua to where it is.

Massive thanks to Raphael and Tomaz - the work we did on triEngine helped me really understand what an engine is.

Biggest thanks to MK2k for joining the project midway through development and making it much more than I (InsertWittyName) ever expected.

Notes

Please be aware that this is not Lua Player.

PGE Lua is it's own product and shares zero code with Lua Player.

For the C developers, the C API of Phoenix Engine will be released in due course, shortly.

PGE has been in development for over a year, it's not some mis-match of code copied from other people. This is the real deal.

There are lots more plans in store for PGE and PGE Lua, a roadmap will be released shortly showing the expected development.

Support

For further help that is not supplied by the samples or documentation, there are forums for PGE at http://pge.luaplayer.org/.

We are also on IRC, channel #psp-programming on irc.freenode.net, for one-to-one help.

PSParticlePlayer is an MP3 player featuring some nice graphics, think of it as a Screensaver or Eye-Catcher playing some music for you. OK, PSParticlePlayer is just a bit more than that, at first it was developed as a Particle Engine Editor (and it still is) for the upcoming PGE game engine release. Spiced up with some MP3 playing functionality it is the app you have sitting in front of you
