X-Moto-PSP 0.1

Hello,

I have been working on a port of the open source game X-Moto for the PSP.
It is still very experimental, but I wanted to make the release to share with you the progress.



I worked on the 0.4.2 version of X-Moto, because the last version (0.5) introduces new dependencies, for example on SDL_net which is not available for the PSP.

The game is running, but there are still many issues:

• It is very slow. I did not have the time to profile the game yet, so I don't know why, but I fear it might be because of the physical engine, so it might be difficult to optimize.
• There is no sound. Since it is not a big downside for this game, I did not investigate on this yet.
• No menus: currently, the menus are crashing the game on the PSP, and anyway there are too big for a 480x272 resolution. So the game is launched directly with the level you choose (like --level X on the PC).
• No network support: you won't be able to download new levels and upload your high scores...
• Hardcoded controls: you cannot change the buttons configuration for now.

But, at least, it is possible to play X-Moto on the PSP, I hope you will enjoy it

The game and source code are available from my website: http://royale.zerezo.com/psp/
The ZIP file is quite big, so I am not sure if I can attach it here...
