Xpuyo is the tetris-like down-type puzzle game for X-Window version.
Now only man vs man game is available, with two different consoles through
network.
Requested systems
GCC, X11R4 or upper
ss2, news, omron luna88k(some fixed) can let xpuyo work with no problem
and I receipt a report EWS-4800(NEC) does that also.
Complile
For written in ANSI C, compiler is set to gcc by default.
Type:
xmkmf
make depend
make
to compile xpuyo. You can ignore warning if it appear some.
And type:
make install
to install xpuyo.
It needs the application defauls file , so please cp or ln the file
Xpyuo.ad to ~Xpuyo or somewhere
Play
Type:
xpuyo
to start xpuyo.
Each player must start xpuyo and connect each other.
Now one player only game is not available. Players must start xpuyo from
each console. When play from different hosts, one of the players specify
another hosts. When play from same host with X terminals , it doesn't
need. One is automatically become a server, and the other a client.
Then, you play 'puyo puyo'. Look and feel how to bound or rotate.
Extra
Start xpuyo with -sigle option and do self-playing. But this is for debug
, so 'Jama Puyo' fall on yourserf.
Known Bugs
Play on different type machine may cause byte order problem.
-> Because xpuyo send and receive binary data.(TODO)
'Far' host may make games what couldn't be games.
-> No consideration for low bandwidth. (Hmmmmmm.... ^^);
Very dirty code around network.
-> To rewrite , yes.
No man pages.
-> When I have some time..
There's no copyright description in the sources.
-> Next time (Do I write in English??)
Author(i.e. me) won't do bug fix.
-> Only my laziness (sorry)
