Homebrew Diablo's source code has been released!

[Purplstuph]

Got this from an article that someone managed to reverse engineer Diablo's source.
We're one step closer to a possible port!

OMG that would be awesome

Isn't this a 640x480 game? It would look horrendous at half the resolution.

I'm pretty sure this is equivalent to piracy, since that contains a link to it I'd be wary. It's not illegal to make a port, but distributing is, though I sure hope it does happen. Also github will probably take it down.

EDIT: That is not the case here, this release contains no assets from the game. Keeping the link is fine. Still a full fledged port would be in piracy cathegory obviously. By the way, awesome work from this guy.

Not to be nit-picky but there is still a big difference between having the original source code and a reverse engineered version of the source code

The source is fine legally.

if someone finds a way to adapt it to the 3ds screen, that'd be neat

A rapid mock-up (made with paint.net) of what it could look like. Screens are stretched/deformed on purpose.​

Yeah I'll grant that splitting up the screens would work with some effort, given how big the bottom UI is in the PC game. Though you'd probably see the play field on bottom with stylus taps approximating mouse clicks unless someone wanted to do everything involved with controller support.

I was thinking of a way for the player to control the gauntlet cursor. It would be controlled with the black zone of the touch screen. Dragging the stylus on the zone to move the cursor and two rapid taps on the zone to interact.

I think it would be better leave the lower screen for menu and the upper for the game screen, or the opposite, since trying to put game and menu in the lower screen wont work kkkkk

Almost looks like pure decompiled source code. Not really exciting.

How does the ps1 version run btw

Could always try what Zelda phantom hourglass did with its map. Where if you press up on d pad it would switch top and bottom screens so you could draw. Could do something like that with d1 on 3ds just have gameplay on bottom for tap moving then if you need menu for character and such just press up on d pad .

Don't know if you are exaggerating but that would seem fairly illegal, at least in the U.S.
