Missing Brickmania in Sansa c200 distro; intentional? (ANSWERED)

[Strife89]

Read the thread title.

I realize that the c250 (my model) has an unfavorable screen for the game, but couldn't it just rotate the graphics and button layout, say, 90 degrees counter-clockwise? Surely that would be playable....

It's even listed in the plugins section of the (er-HEM) device specific manual. Was it removed intentionally (I downloaded the package on December 26, 2007), or did something go wrong on my end?

(Yes, I looked through the files. Brickmania.rock and anything remotely similar does not exist.)

Yes, I also did a few searches before posting the thread. Wasn't any help this time.

I'm guessing that it isn't built for the C200 currently as the bitmaps haven't been adjusted to the screen or some such.  If it is not built, then it should not be in the manual.

Please do not bump threads, this is prohibited by the posting guidelines.

But (as of the 26th) it is. However (at least in the PDF version), it shows "Notice: Image Not Found!" where the screenshot should be.  

My apologies for my ignorance (regarding the guidelines).

They're posted in the announcements forum, and you agreed to following them while registering. You really ought to read them, if you agree to follow them.

[Strife89]

Yeah, sorry about that.   I read some of them (mainly on the registry page); I don't usually bump threads (or otherwise do thing that might be annoying or counter-productive) in forums.

But (as of the 26th) it is. However (at least in the PDF version), it shows "Notice: Image Not Found!" where the screenshot should be.  

The manual is written in latex and uses a lot of macros so that for instance each plugin section does not need to be written for each target, but just the keys section and screenshots section is altered.

Brickmania is not currently built for the C200, as this exert from /apps/plugins/SOURCES shows:

Code: [Select]

#if LCD_WIDTH != 128 && !defined SANSA_C200
/* These need adjusting for the iRiver if'p and Sansa c200, small H10 screen */
brickmania.c
#endif

Thus the manual for the C200 wrongly automatically includes Brickmania at the moment.  The screenshot is image not found because there isn't one.

OK - because you apologised so nicely, I just pop in to say that brickmania hopefully won't be missing for long on c200s (and the small H10 too, by the way). BigBambi's guess was right that just the graphics weren't adapted yet but I prepared them and hopefully be able to commit it before next year...  

And for future reference: the only ones missing then will be "sokoban" (missing graphics too) and "pacbox" (I think it needs code changes but I'm also not sure if it is really worth it on this display).

[GodEater]

Pacbox looks tiny enough to me on the iPod Video / Gigabeat (both with the same size screen, albeit different orientation), I cannot imagine trying to play it on something so small as the c200.

Thanks, pixelma. I'll be checking the builds daily.
