If you happen to have a linux-build, I'm more than happy to bug hunt through it |

Nope, not yet sorry. Only PC at the moment. |

Linux & Mac support is on my to-do list.
Once I finish the AI, I'll port the game to MonoGame which I don't think will be too difficult.

It's been quite a while since my last post and lots has been done. - RIFF AVI cut-scenes in and working
- host of bug fixes
- editor improvements
- UI overhaul; faster + better performance
- changed debug information to the new tooltip font
- added in the secret puzzles, complete with extra points and bonus lives
- loads of AI improvements: works and playable, not nearly the same as the original at the moment
- monks now collect and drop gold at random
- vastly improved audio effect handling
What's next? - single-player game menu
- two-player game menu
- original save game format decoded
- ability to add secret exits to any puzzle
- more progress on monk AI
Tooting my own horn here, but I can't find any 100% C# or VB AVI player out there that doesn't use DirectShow or AVI libraries. I'm very chuffed with it! |

I parsed the AVI file from the MSDN docs. The file has everthing you need for playback rate, sizes, etc. All I do then is extract a record, get XNA to play the PCM data and decode the image frame (RLE8 in the case of MMR) and convert that to a texture. That's pretty much it. I haven't yet started porting to MonoGame but it should work fine. My demo/test bed app works with GDI in WinForms too. |

No worries, I'm glad you'd like to try it for me. I don't have a build handy (apart from an older) one. I hope to have a proper build, complete with music, ready this weekend. |

Nope, not yet sorry. Only PC at the moment. Hm, I wonder if it'd run through wine? It might have some only-for-wine-bugs, but perhaps it'd run well :D worth a try? |

It's worth a shot. I'm not sure how it'd go with XNA framework and saving to the AppData folders though. Probably have to wait until I port it over to MonoGame. |

I've got a Windows demo ready for anyone who wants to try it: 1) download my version (12.5mb) 2) optionally, download the original CD soundtrack (122mb) and place into the DATA folder I've now switched to MonoGame and a few bugs have cropped up but I'm working through them. If you could download and give me some feedback that would be nice. Things you'll notice: - monk ai still needs a lot of work
- MonoGame has introduced a few audio quirks (sounds being cut off, etc.)
- MonoGame also may not completely exit each time
Let me know if you encounter anything odd. If you've played the original, I'd love to know what you think about the changes I've made. |
