where are the portfiles?

[west crescent]

Added the links to PR and source code in the post

[ocean junco]

but why then make a testing thread when this game is already pred?

[clever violet]

I tried autoinstall in portmaster and also tried copy-pasting... the game did not start in my R36S

[ocean junco]

are you connected to the internet and have the pyxel runtime installed?

[lost swift]

Send a zip here so people can test it 🙂

[clever violet]

Sorry Damo but no... i did not know i needed that to make it work... 👼

Didnt realize its your game, nice work

[west crescent]

Thanks

[rigid plover]

All I'm getting is the main menu, when I press A to choose any puzzle size or Marathon, I'm kicked back to Ports folder

Roxknix. Tried both drivers. Does not work on Panfrost or Libmali

Same on MuOS

[rigid plover]

I didn't see this zip

Will try this

And get back to you

[west crescent]

Inside the entropipes folder you have another folder called puzzles and inside it 5 text files?

Still, can you pull up a log to see what happens?

[rigid plover]

dude

your game isnt included in this zip either

yes theres 5 txt files

if you post a zip here as a reayd to run port, it needs to be able to be installed and immediately playable

[west crescent]

The zip file contains this folder and files, I just downloaded it to my mobile and I see it correctly, in fact it is the one generated with the repository tools.

[rigid plover]

K. Those do not include your game my dude

Those are TINY files. They aren't gamedata

They're not even a Kilabyte a piece

Those are just the images for the main menu to swap between puzzles

Is this an extension of ticoban?

[willow badger]

its the same files that are in the regular version, you might not understand that pyxel games are generally tiny.

the game just seem to not looking for the at the right spot

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/.pyxel/play/6732/build/puzzles/4x4.txt'

[rigid plover]

I mean the main menu loads but crashes if I select anything

[willow badger]

yeah, because the game is failing to load the files in puzzles folder

[west crescent]

The puzzles are not inside the .pyxapp because people can open them and add new puzzles using the online editor available, although they are for the web version.

But if you see that it can be a problem that they are outside, this afternoon/evening I upload the same pyxapp as the web version.

[rigid plover]

Do you have a Linux handheld to test this stuff on, buddy?

[willow badger]

im pretty sure he has r36s

[rigid plover]

Oh boy

[west crescent]

Yep, a r36s

[rigid plover]

Blows me away how many people have them

I personally would never want to get one for fear of it NOT being real and it having No Wifi

[west crescent]

I have put the puzzles the package generated by pyxel, entropipes.pyxapp, let's see if it works now. I just tested it on my r36s with the puzzles folder deleted.

[olive kernel]

It's working on EmuElec.... nice!

[willow badger]

✅ OGA Arkos, x55 Rocknix, RGB10X Amberelec and 35xxSP muOS

[west crescent]

OK, I'm going to make a new commit with the package

[rigid plover]

There ya go, brutha!
