Hermes 'Demos' - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Cast your minds back to the late 80s and early 90s when everybody had an Amiga or Atari. Do you remember the 'demos' that were doing the rounds to show off the latest and greatest hardare?
Often these would be a small program, cramming in huge amount of graphics and music (and endless credits!) to test the latest machines and impress your mates.
Is there something similar to show off the capabilities of the TyTN or other WM5 devices? I'd like to know what this baby can do! I was suitably impressed with the display put on by GXMark, albeit for a few seconds and with no sound.
Anyone fancy writing such a demo?
Christos

WOW.. I'm impressed GXMark. It seems that PPCs can do what iPhone does . . matter of time when someone write some cool eye candy for PPCs. The hardware is well able to support it.

Surely someone other than the makers of GXmark must have done something similar? What about graphics in games - if nobody is aware of any 'demos', can anyone point me in the direction of a game that will impress?

Yeah, I remember as if it where yesterday... I used to collect the best demos for the Amiga and Commodore 64... Phew, those where the days...
I would love to see some demos for the Pocket PC platform alright...
I remember having a couple of demos for my old SonyEricsson P800 smartphone, so why nobody has come up with some ARM based demos???
Here's hoping...
Peace!
RayanMX

The C64 was the best!
I remember the amazing graphical showcases on the front of Commodore Format back in the good old days. If you stood around 10-15 foot away from the screen, you could just about make out the mono bitmap of Cat from Red Dwarf (How'm I lookin? I'm looking good!).
I would love to see a program to show off my PPC too. The best thing I've found for impressing my mates is Tomb Raider, but that's getting on a bit now. Virtual Pool is quite tasty too. Although I'm sure the Tytn could do better!

Well, I'd say there're MUCH better demos out there (not to mention SE doesn't have a demo). Check out the link provided above - even the two oldest (year 2002) titles are FAR better than any games.
(Also note that MilkyTracker isn't a demo but a tracker. I've just pubslished an article on it; search the General forum for it.)

I liked Spirit, retroficial and limbo.

Retroficial is alright
Spirit is slow on my Wizard
Didn't try limbo.. I don't like setup.exe

[REQ]Crayon Physics Deluxe

Hello.
I am wondering if anyone of you programmers could make the game Crayon Physics Deluxe usable on the Diamond.
Here's the link to their site: http://www.crayonphysics.com/
It would be awesome playing this in landscape mode on the diamond.
I hope you can at least try.
Thanks in forehand //Felix
This game does sound kind of interesting. A buddy of mine just played it and said it was pretty good. Id give it a shot on my ppc. After watching the video though, I am not sure that a ppc could handle the physics engine to run it. Maybe I am wrong, but it looks like it would take a decent processor/gpu tandem to run it.

there's already an iphone version, iphysics. Hope there will be a WMobile version too !
There is an open source version called Numpty Phyics, originally created for the Nokia Internet Tablets (Maemo) but since then ported to a number of different OSes such as Windows. The source code is available as well if someone wants to take a stab at porting it over to WinMo.

exactly only this will be better 'cause it'll be made by it's users, resulting in endless possibilities.
There is an official version of GH for Win Mobile too. I played only demo, but it was quite good. It of course lacked the option to add custom tracks.
CommZ said:

Yeah, that's something that would be avaible in this app, it's the users who choose what tracks the game will contain through requesting them.
And hopefully this version will work for VGA!
I think a Beats-like game (Beats, the PSP game) would have far more potencial. There you have space to inovate, instead of just making a custom guitar hero. Which leads me to the gameplay.. Tapping the notes as they come? :S Hardly "guitar-ish"! Especially not having multitouch...
If you want to brainstorm on what could be a good music game for WM devices, I'm all up to it. If it comes down to something interesting I'll even help coding it, provided someone else does some neat neat graphics

thanks i checked "beats" out and i can't say that i understood much of it, i catched that you tap the psp buttons to hit the "notes" though. didn't look very fun compared to guitar hero or tap tap revenge if u ask me.
but sure, i can "brainstorm" on what could be a good wm music game, if ur not interested in this concept. one of my reasons for this was to annoy my iPhone friend who's playing tap tap revenge.. and to contribute to the community ofc

Beats is similar to Guitar Hero with the change that you don't play just the guitar notes but every major peak in the mp3's channel data. What that means is you can put any mp3 you want and Beats will analyze it and create a game level for you.
Also, you'll probably tap to the rythm of the drums where their the loudest thing, and hop back to guitar if there's a solo... That sort of thing. I don't know tap tap revenge but I'll look into it.
I meant you, yes, if you're good with graphics
Keep in mind I'm a student so I have a tight schedule, I have other projects (one of which I plan to post here given some time) and I'm not familiar with DirectDraw calls. I won't commit right now to make this happen, but I think in time it's possible to work something out if you still need a developer.
Truth is, I'd love to see a good music game for our phones, but can't grasp the spectacular idea behind it on my own right now

I would be really interested in this type of game, unfortunetly i have no programming skills but would love to be a tester
What about some music-based arcade, like AudioSurf or Vib Ribbon? I guess it would suit the smartphone environment better than a quitar play simulator
Seems interesting

Please note this is more alpha testing than beta, the software is in early development phase and we're currently testing the graphics engine on the different devices and resolutions. QVGA is currently well supported (I own one!) but VGA is giving some problems. We have to triage those problems in order to fix them.
W resolutions are not up to date, because they take a little more work. The way we tackle those devices is still not clear. They have a different aspect ratio which makes me (personally) want to just add a bar to the top of the screen

Galatea 3D Game-Engine for WM = New snappy games for our devices!

Recently, while I googled for some stuff, I got my eyes on this headline of a new wm game engine. I looked into it and watched a few videos demonstrating it's functionality... well, it was pretty damn impressive!
The engine is developed by MindPol, and it has been existing for quite a while, just not for windows mobile. It is about to be ported though, and they write in the description of this video (an app made with their game-engine) that they'd like some attention to speed up their release. So, if there is anyone out there who would like some iPhone-like 3d games coming to your device in near future, I think it'd be a good idea to support these guys!
A quote from the description of the video I linked above:
"This game and characters was made in September 2008.
But we didn't complete yet cause of another project we do.
... Actually we need more support.
Please give us your interest and support.
Thank you "

Very interested. Will it be ported to the omnia?
u sure they gunna bring that to WM... all those vids were them playin on a DS
Hmm. Seeing this running on the X1 makes me wonder. What driver are they using? Standard X1 drivers on a standard X1 rom?
jeeeez i wanna have that stuff!!!!!!plsplspls.......i would love to see that demos on my x1....is there any way to get these demos?????
Hello, Thanks a lot for introducing our engine.^^
I'm a developer of this engine, Galatea Engine.
Yes, we succeed in converting PC version to WM version.
Now our engine supports Windows Mobile perfectly.
And the used driver (and rom) in that movie you saw is a standard driver which can be downloaded in Sony Ericsson Developer World.
As for Xperia X1, we used them.
Nowaday, our engine is more faster and better than before.
One more, Omnia doesn't support OpenGL|ES yet but D3DM.
However their new Omnia will support OpenGL|ES 2.0 and we are waiting for that. (In korea, we can't get any information of that device actaully.)
Anyway if you want more information, please visit our website www.MindPol.com or www.GalateaTechnology.com.
And today we released a trial game for Xperial X1 and some devices. Please check this on www.MindPolGames.com. (However it's not 3D game but 2D.)

So it may make some problems. (Of course it's not big. Just turn off and turn on. In many cases, there is no problem.)
I will upload stable samples at www.GalateaTechnology.com later. I already got stable version, but I can't upload these now.)
Have a nice day!

Interesting, so you're developing this engine on stock OGLES drivers. Have you considered using OpenVG for this? It seems the MSM7201A devices like the X1 also support OpenVG with a few modifications. If you're interested, you can find a modified 3D driver which has that support in my signature.
Great work by the way, it seems to run perfectly on my Blackstone. (Touch HD)
wow!the demos run very smooth on my diamond!

[game] dune 2 (for devs/hackers)

Yes yes, good old retro Dune2. First and the best real-time strategy game.
Ok it's not yet available for PPC q.q (well 'it is' VIA dosbox emulation, BUT not playable)
BUT there is Dune2 clone (beta, but playable) available on the internet.
WITH SOURCE.
Its made in Visual Studio C++ 2007/2008. I got this source working on mine.
Good things about this version of Dune2 and reasons for porting:
Default resolution: 640x480 VGA (but changable in source var)
Does not require right mouse click, only left one. (Stylus !!!)
You only need 2 buttons + left mouse button to play this. (so this surely this would be fully playable on PPC)
You can try this by your self on PC:
D2TM-DEMO4.ZIP
Screenshots (taken by me) incase you're not intrested in trying it.
My c++ programing skills are almost zero..
Sooo.. let me know if anyone intrested in helping me port this ???
If yes I've attached the instructions with a link to the source code.
for the DUNE
well..i think i may stick to emulated sega dune2 version on qvga xscale device(hint hint)
..until someone will make it REAL...
sega lol, how it is even possible w/o mouse?
btw it is really easy to make with a bit skills
hahah this game was great when i was a kid, never played after! but will be awesome to have this on my ppc many years later!
