robotfindskitten for AmigaOS
« on: January 26, 2003, 07:21:16 PM »
I was bored, so I've spent this evening bringing the "Zen simulation" known as robotfindskitten to AmigaOS.

Ports exist for DOS, Linux, Java, web-cgi, Gameboy, Dreamcast and Atari 2600.

AmigaOS version homepage
robotfindskitten.org

It should run on all Amigas with Kickstart 3.0 and above, and probably crash on amigas with older kickstarts.

Uuuhhh... no. I don't *do* ports. I hate most of the stuff that gets ported from *ix to the Amiga.

robotfindskitten was re-written from scratch for AmigaOS :)

Fair enough.

How about I rephrase "port" to "reimpliment" or something? :-)

OK, you can hire me to work full time on these projects for £35k per annum (minimum).

I am a professional software engineer (don't judge me by the source of robotfindskitten, though :) ), and I am capable of projects of that magnitude.

The thing is, my spare time is limited, and I want to devote some of it to my friends, my family, my girlfriend, drinking beer, you know, having a life.

So, if you want those things for Amiga, just give me the salary so I can take a year or two off work to do it.  :-D

AmigaOS version homepage
robotfindskitten.org

It should run on all Amigas with Kickstart 3.0 and above, and probably crash on amigas with older kickstarts.

Downloaded the archive last night and tried it on both the Amithlon box and the A3000. After adding an icon (Bender, the robot from the BenderIRC archive) to the executable and running it from WB, it brought down Amithlon very quickly. Wouldn't run on the A3000 either. Running it from a shell window got me a message to say it couldn't find nintendo.font.
Any chance of telling me where I might find the font?

Thats odd... Amiga E adds all the workbench startup stuff automatically, it should never crash! I'll investigate this evening...

Yes. Its in the archive. Either copy it to your fonts dir, or do this:

assign fonts: path:to/the/game/fonts add

I really don't know why it caused the Amithlon machine to crash. The A3000 didn't suffer at all in this regard.

Yes. Its in the archive. Either copy it to your fonts dir, or do this:

The first thing I did was unarchive everything again to make sure I hadn't missed the font. I can't check right now as the machine is currently running Linux and I deleted the archive from the 3000, but I will once I get offline.

Ohhh right. OK, well I don't know why it crashed Amithlon, but on the A3000 it was quitting because there is no font, and as you ran it from workbench, the error message didn't appear. Once you have the font installed, it should at least work fine on the a3000.

Well, I just downloaded the file (i'm at work), and looked in the archive, and the font is 100% definately there.

Yup found everything (Look Craig, LOOK!) and managed to make it run under 3.9 on the 3000, 3.9 under Amithlon and 3.1 on the 2000. All running fromthe shell of course.
I didn't bother trying it on the 4000.
The one thing I can't manage is to make it run from WorkBench on any machine. I even went as far as increasing the stack parameter to 40K.

Any suggestions?
