Hi. I'm glad to present my first game in pascal +JEDI-SDL. Its a remake of arkanoid. Its open source, but it is commented in Spanish.

You can download a windows binary
source code from a Homepage

All comments, reviews, etc post here

I tried your game for a while and I think its a good start. All seems to work like it should. There were times I thought the ball was going into a odd direction, though. In any case, you've got the basis covered!
Now go make more levels and powerups and all


edit: typo fixed

Hey, very cool!

One of my first games was an arkanoid clone too. A great way to start out is with the classics. I moved on to making an advanced version of Pong, but with limited control devices back then, it wasn't that nice to play.

Please keep us up to date on your other and current projects. And welcome to PGD! :thumbup:

Hi.
Thanks for your comments.
The only problem I have is to install Jedi-sdl in linux with freepascal. Anybody knows how to do it? Thanks for any advice
p.s. I have gentoo linux

I installed headers like this. First I copied jedi-sdl.inc and all headers files I needed into one directory. Then I made a FPC makefile and used fpcmake to install headers as package in FPC package tree. Here is the makefile.fpc I used

#
#	Makefile.fpc for SDL_JEDI for FPC

Here's a screen shot of Brat running on MacOS X?

Initially it did not run because there is an error in the brick generating procedure that causes an "Out of Range" error on MacOS X.

The culprit is the code that initialises the ladrillos array. It should look like this...

[pascal]
//vaciar la matriz
for j := 1 to 10 do
for i := 1 to 13 do
ladrillos[i][j] := 0;
[/pascal]
Notice that the variable names j and i have been swapped around in both for loop constructs. I'm surprised that this did not generate an error on other OSes.

This demo also proves that sdl_ttf.pas also works on MacOS X!!

Thanks for finding the error. Nice screenshot


I will try installing it for linux later. Thanks for links

To install JEDI-SDL you can use grudzio's method, or you can use the following method:

1. Unzip the JEDI-SDL zip package into any directory you like, say /home/freenity/JEDI-SDL/.
2. Edit the /etc/fpc.cfg file and add the following lines:

-Fi/home/freenity/JEDI-SDL/SDL/Pas

-Fu/home/freenity/JEDI-SDL/*/Pas

Sin problema. Great to see JEDI-SDL working on other platforms.

You should probably post the screen shot on your Game Creators site, to show that the code is very portable, once you've uploaded a fixed version of the source code.
