My name is Shahzad Sahaib (aka Kojote) and I am project manager of a couple of games. The most
famous one being "Giana's Return" a "The Great Giana Sisters" sequel. We would
love to bring this Freeware game to as many platforms as possible and Haiku is one of the team's
missing wishes. The code is C(C++)/SDL and should be pretty easy to port. The game itself is closed
source and should remain closed. We do not earn money with the game, so it would be just a
voluntary unpaid task in exchange for credits and fame.
Just use the search engine of your trust to gain more information about
everything as I do not want to place any links in here.
There is a port of SDL 1.2 available for Haiku, but from what I hear, it
has some issues. It probably depends on what API a particular game is
using exactly and reflects in how well, or if at all, the game runs on
this port. The actual "porting" would just mean to compile the game on
Haiku, assuming it sticks to the SDL API only.
There is also an ongoing effort to port SDL 1.3 to Haiku in Google
Summer of Code.
Am I understanding your email correctly in that you are searching for
someone to compile/port the game on/to Haiku?
Best regards,
-Stephan
