Raid'em

Download

System Requirements

Hopefully not too much. It's only a top-down shooter after all. A Mac port may exist if I had a Mac.

Linux or Windows (tested with XP).
640x480 high colour resolution.

What's New?

Important changes between 0.3.0 and 0.3.1:

Fixed crashes with homing weapons. This is most important on 32-bit machines.
Fixed alpha sprites appearing green on PPC.
Added OGG support.

Download

You only need one file; the source zips contain the data too.

Version 0.3.1
Gentoo ebuild	(1.4 Kb)
Windows installer	(6.4 Mb)
Source code	(7.3 Mb)

The following music is made by Eric Hamilton (dilvie), under this licence. They are not included in the zips or installer. Music should be copied into raidem/music/.

Level 2: half-baked	(3.1 Mb)
Level 3: east of the sun	(4.9 Mb)
Menu: the dragonfly	(765 Kb)

Compiling

If you plan on compiling Raid'em, you should know that I used Objective-C and so you may need to grab some extra packages from www.mingw.org and maybe a new gcc.

You will also need Allegro, libpng and zlib.

Version 0.3 (and above) also requires Freetype 2.1.10 to run (not included).

See raidem/docs/INSTALLING.txt for more instructions.

Ebuild

The ebuild is not yet in Portage, so you will need to put it into your portage overlay:

Copy raidem-0.3.1.ebuild into PORTAGE_OVERLAY/games-arcade/raidem/.
Run ebuild raidem-0.3.1.ebuild digest.
Run emerge raidem.

The USE variables are:

id3: Scan MP3 tags (uses libid3tag).
mp3: Add support for MP3 music (uses AllegroMP3).
no-fblend: Disable FBlend. This is always the case on AMD64.
no-video-bitmaps: Disable page flipping/triple buffering.
ogg: Add support for OGG music (uses AllegroOGG).

You may also need to fetch AllegroMP3 and AllegroOGG ebuilds from Gentoo Bugzilla.

AllegroMP3-2.0.4 ebuild.
AllegroOGG-1.0.3 ebuild.

Music is not fetched by the script, so you should copy them into /usr/share/games/raidem/music/ yourself.

Back.
