Homebrew SwitchGDX: A LibGDX Switch Backend

[mathew77]

@TheLogicMaster
Super thanks!
BTW, I guess I found out nasty graphical bugs (glitches). Here're screenshots of these bugs (marked with white):


It's show accidentally, and mostly at the later levels (3-4 lvl), in random places. The main character, walls, enemies and/or obstacles sometimes getting invisible on the screen. After some moves and bomb placing, they are restoring, then disappearing again.

Maybe there's a way to fix them?

I put out a new release with a workaround that should fix the graphical issue. I haven't determined the actual cause, but it's probably a low level C/compiler behavior bug.

I have some other ports working, but they only have touch controls. Here's links to the original games:
Unlucky
Pepper&Carrot endless runner
Klooni1010

Ooh I wonder if Pokemon Wilds can be ported with this

I just looked into the project and it seems to be closed source and uses libraries that aren't currently supported for networking, controller input, and likely more. This backend works on Java bytecode, so it doesn't need access to the source code, but it does make patching out unsupported functionality and adding support for Switch controller input more challenging. Definitely possible, though.

I hope for ngage games.

Glad it's possible! Hopefully it'll one day be open source, or at least have its creators be willing to assist in porting efforts. Pretty sure it's still in active development at the moment.

Here's another port if you are a fan of doing basic arithmetic: Arithmetic Run

Here's a more retro port:

Just released a port of a short experience made for Ludum Dare 37: nO mooRe.
It's a dark/serious story with a great soundtrack.

Are there any .*NROs (Unlucky, Pepper&Carrot, Klooni1010)? Can't find them anywhere, thank you.

 

[Fadi5555]

Any chance for ngage games or symbian games?

Any chance for ngage games or symbian games?

If they're open source and built around LibGDX.

Not yet, I just posted the original game links. I wasn't sure if controller support would be needed for them.

 

[TheLogicMaster]

Just released the Pepper&Carrot game port. Touch inputs are needed for the menus, but I added controller support in-game.

 

[TheLogicMaster]

Klooni 1010, as well.

 

[TheLogicMaster]

And, here's Unlucky, too. I added D-pad and support for using the A-button to continue dialogs, but most of the UI requires touch input.

 

[TheLogicMaster]

Four more ports on the Homebrew App Store.
