Awesome Game!

I found this neat game for Palm Size PC and it works on epods!
Awesome alpha blended graphics, but sometimes the fps drop a bit (who cares, it's a puzzle/strategy game, so it does not matter)
Nice sound too.

It is called Pyraos. GET IT!!!
I forgot where I downloaded it, but the register website is here: www.randomly.com/register
There might be a demo DL there. If you roll back the clock, it lets you keep playing...
Actually just checked, registration appears to be free now.
They have some code for graphics as well (a library).

Wait, I spoke too soon...you have to learn this BS language called Esperanto to get the codes. If I get them, I will post them for all...but 10 courses in it...hmm....

That's the game, but I have the MIPS version for Palm Size PC

www.randomly.com has that game and another (Triad) that both are PSPC games that work on epods.

Esperanto's supposed to be a cool universal language. Ever read the Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison? Very fun read.

That is an incredibly cool company. I've actually wanted to learn Esperanto, but never had time. BTW, if we want to, we can download the source code off of their site and compile the program (w/out registration needed) for our use. They have source for all of their stuff and it's apparently unlicensed.

Anyone who can compile it?

I can't compile it right yet. I was waiting till I got a cable modem to dl the 300mb Microsoft compiler. I did look through the source and found this though (in main.cpp):

BOOL Register_IsExpired (int *pcDaysLeft)
{
if (IsRegistered())
{
// It's registered, so it doesn't ever expire.
return FALSE;
}

DWORD dwToday = GetToday();

if ((*pcDaysLeft = (int)gr.dwDayStart + cdayEXPIRATION - (int)dwToday) <= 0)
{
// It's expired!
return TRUE;
}

// There are still some days left.
return FALSE;
}

Just change it to:
BOOL Register_IsExpired (int *pcDaysLeft)
{
return FALSE;
}

Then you're set. You'd still get the "You have X days left" dialog (which could also be edited out), but it should work. I've never compiled anything for CE (or used visual anything for that matter), so I'd appreciate it if someone with more experience could make a REALLY basic tutorial on how to compile this with Embedded Visual C++.

Oh yeah, you also need the CEAnim library from their site. Also, the same source file is used for the pc and ce versions.

I have Visual Studio, but no CE stuff.
Is the CE stuff free? If so, I'll give it a try.
Just tell me where to get the CE compiler.

Yep, embedded vc++ and ce 2.whatever sdk are free - see this thread: "http://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=EpodsOne&Post=114&Idle=0&Sort=0&Order=Descend&Page=0&Session="
