Hacking Matching Cards for Nintendo Wii

[teknecal]

Hey again,

After thinking of a new game to make, I'm back with a new simple game called Matching Cards. The goal of the game is to pair up all the cards to proceed to the next level.

Comes with the included icon.png and meta.xml for HBC. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.


Matching Cards for Nintendo Wii
Another simple game for the Nintendo Wii.
Pair up all the cards before the time runs out to proceed to the next level.
There are 7 levels and once you reach level 7, the timer starts lower each time.

Thanks for making it...

I wanted to change some of the card images so I try to setup a dev. enviro. I can compile the hello world example without problems, but I get the following warrings when I compile your card matching program:

> "make"
card_flip.mod
next_level.mod
time_over.mod
main.c
In file included from c:/projects/wii/matching_cards/source/main.c:21:
c:/devkitPro/libogc/include/jpeg/jpgogc.h:12:21: warning: jpeglib.h: No such file or directory
c:/projects/wii/matching_cards/source/main.c: In function 'create_level':
c:/projects/wii/matching_cards/source/main.c:392: warning: implicit declaration of function 'usleep'
Compiling ... picture.s
linking ... matching_cards.elf
output ... matching_cards.dol

I haven't tried to run mine yet, but the file sizes are different between yours and mine. Do you know what is causing the warings and how to avoid them? Thanks again.

It seems like you don't have the jpeg library installed.

What you'll need to do is download libjpeg, open up the archive and extract jpeg6bogc.7z.
Then go to the bin\powerpc-gekko\ directory and copy the include and lib directories to devkitPro\devkitPPC\powerpc-gekko\

It's a bit weird that it's actually compiling. If the above doesn't work then I'd say to try and copy the bin\powerpc-gekko\include\ to devkitPro\libogc\include\ and see if that works. In my devkitPro, I don't have any libjpeg files in devkitPro\libogc\.

Regarding the warning on usleep, you can just ignore that.

That made the error go away. I put the libjpeg in the devkitpro\libogc\include\ directory originally and it gave me the errors you saw (before that there were obviously a lot more errors). When I put them in devkitPro\devkitPPC\powerpc-gekko\ directory, I still had the same jpeg error. Then I removed it from devkitpro\libogc\include\ directory and it seemed to work. This is what I get now:


> "make"
card_flip.mod
next_level.mod
time_over.mod
main.c
c:/projects/wii/matching_cards/source/source/main.c: In function 'create_level':
c:/projects/wii/matching_cards/source/source/main.c:392: warning: implicit declaration of function 'usleep'
Compiling ... picture.s
linking ... matching_cards.elf
output ... matching_cards.dol

> Process Exit Code: 0

... and it works great. The funny thing is, it's still about 13k less than yours and it is the same size as the one I compiled before with the jpeg errors, however, I never tried running that one. Thanks for your help and nice job with the program.

Fun little game! It's nice to see people making so many programs for the Wii. Keep up the good work.
