Homebrew Official [Release] Snake WiiU (5.5.x / 5.3.2)

[eliboa]

It's one of the best selling games of all time I think, but simplest controls, if that helps figure it out.

Tetris maybe ???

I wish I knew the random generator code of the Wii U, can't even find it in certain docs, but I'll have to implement some psuedo generator to finish it.

Yeah I had a hard time with this. You can use a pseudo generator function if you don't care about repetitions (at each lauching).
Maybe you can manage something by using the time function :

    int64_t (*OSGetTime)();
    OSDynLoad_FindExport(coreinit_handle, 0, "OSGetTime", &OSGetTime);

The game is too fast for an old prick like me
I hosted in on:

Have fun guys

 

[CarefulCrysis]

Well done buddy

 

[chrisf4lc0n]

Will get all the wiiubrew together create some simple index.html page and host it all together 2morrow

Could not host it earlier, as I did not have the Wii U, just bought it today... unfortunately on 5.5
Gotta wait for IOSU Exploit

No probs, that is the least I can do for this the Wii U Scene...
Once some more homebrews arrive I will try to chip into the code too

Maybe ...

Yeah, I found the time function, I was going to make a random number generator using that, since it's the best for seeding a random number.

Hahah ! This could be a challenge. You may have to rack your brain a littlle with draw functions (so slow in libwiiu). I'm sure we can do something nice with GX2 API but i know pretty much nothing about it. Good luck anyway !

I started programming on the C64, so I know how to work with the minimal amount, and it's kind of funny that I complain about 32k nowadays. Speaking of which, the thought of having Frodo or VICE ported to the Wii U is kind of exciting.

Same here... C64's BASIC was my thing and to be honest I have left it there, never really came back to programming Tried a bit of Python, but nothing major...
Good Luck

hi , i have a stupid question , but "a question is stupid until it's isn't ask "(thanks Math teacher ^^)
so i am new to C and i can figure where i have to put the wii u lib file on my pc to test it , i mean those one

#include "../../../../../../../devkitPro/libwiiu/src/coreinit.h"
#include "../../../../../../../devkitPro/libwiiu/src/vpad.h"
#include "../../../../../../../devkitPro/libwiiu/src/draw.h"

i have made a game that i want to play on the wiiu but first i want to know and test it on my computer (if i can)

thank

I wish I could create a homebrew game too. I'm interested.
But I don't know where to start at all, not even a bit.

Hello fellow countryman. You can put the libwiiu files anywhere you want but it's better if you put them in the devkitPro folder.
For example, if these are the paths to your loader.c (for example) and libwiiu folder:
C:/wiiu/my_homebrew/src/loader.c
C:/devkitPro/libwiiu/
Then you have to put these includes (relative path) in loader.h :

#include "../../../devkitPro/libwiiu/src/coreinit.h"
#include "../../../devkitPro/libwiiu/src/vpad.h"
#include "../../../devkitPro/libwiiu/src/draw.h"

Now, I don't think you can test your compiled program on your computer (we would need an emulator to do that I guess), you have to test it on the wiiu.

I wish I could create a homebrew game too. I'm interested.
But I don't know where to start at all, not even a bit.

You can check this thread posted by Josamilu,you'll find everything you need.

Awesome! Now I can play Pong..
AND Snake!!!

Tried the 532 Version with my 5.4.0 Wii U, but it crashes at the media player. Could a 5.4.0 Version be made as well?? Would really like to play this old classic on my gamepad Thanks for your work!

I have an idea:
Green background, black text/snake, like the old Nokia Snake II
