1. To get it to run full screen, you'll need to recompile it. I'm probably the worst person when it comes to keeping modifications and revisions to the source.
2. I haven't tested saving... But since the main window is made to act as a dialog, it could be causing a problem with a new dialog popping up. If it was full screen, it may pop up on top like normal.
3. This was mostly a recompile with a few modifications for screen refreshes built in. I wipe my development area clean every month or so to start fresh, and I'm afraid I haven't kept the changes.
4. The best place to start is with the VMWare development image
here. Read the links at the bottom of the first post for a quick how-to. A good tutorial for screen refreshes and other info can be found
here.
Not much on the development side has changed since the beginning. It's just a lot easer to get started, and now that you can unbrick your device, you don't have to worry about breaking it.
Let me know if you have any problems or questions. I'm always willing to hlep out where I can. Especially if it means more iLiad developers.

For now, I am probably going to create a separate manifest (with "../" style paths to the executables) for each game file I want to have on the iLiad, that seems like an easy way to get started.
I have a couple of questions, though:
1. How can I get the window to run full screen, as in your June 1 blog post? I'm thinking I might be happy with the keyboard partially covering it since I can choose to have it at top or bottom of the window.
2. It's a bit awkward to save or load files now (try typing "save" or "restore" at the prompt -- a gtk1-style save/load dialogue pops up behind the interpreter window), and it would be even worse if the window is full screen.
3. Are your patches (if any) or sources available or is this just a plain recompile?
4. (slightly ot to the topic of gargoyle, but...) How do I get started with porting to, or developing for, the iLiad? Is there a nice collection of links available or is searching this forum my best bet? I'd love to just RTFM but I'm scared that I'll find obsolete information since things seem to be moving quickly.
Thank you so much for you time and for this port! |
