Nincompoop goes Linux

Ah! more than a year ago I wrote this yet to be finished 2d sidescrolling game with very crappy collision detection and pretty poorly programmed, blah blah called NinCompoop - The Unfinished Quest.

I felt like porting it to linux today. The good news is that allegro is already in the Ubuntu repository, so all I needed to do was a sudo apt-get install liballegro4.2.-dev

Porting again, was dead simple, just change the windows styles slashes to linux style slashes - \\ to /

So here we are, time for a demo -



Fork it here - http://github.com/ideamonk/Nincompoop, a request plz don't complain about ze lameness of teh code.

Nincompoop is on Allegro.cc :)

I had almost forgotten what I submitted on Allegro.cc 2 months back!
Just got a mail today from Depot Manager on Allegro.cc saying the "Paint Daubs effect in Allegro" and "Nincompoop - The Unfinished Quest" has been added to Projects :)

I wish they have another PWNED! (game-dev) contest this year @ Shaastra 2009. Would love to play around some physics engines and XNA this time nopes Pyglet and Pymunk (python port of chipmunk) would be more satisfactory personally. Wish to get into another hacking contest too, just for some faltooo cash :)

Yippeeee!
