Efika arrived to TDolphin on 20 Dec 2006. For few days it have had all needed hardware (power supply, hdd, gfx card, keyboard, mouse) except case (for now it has temporary case). Efika is working with Debian Linux. Next step is installing development tools (GCC, SDL etc).
We are proud to present first version of new TDolphin's production: Biedronka Zuzia (Little Susan the Ladybug) [ MorphOS version ], game without violence, designed for small children. Can be downloaded at www.tdolphin.org (Download section). Wallpapers are available at Artwork section. For now the game is only in Polish.
Rewrite of code has been finished. The last beta tests are in progress. Game will be ready in October.
For few months Rafal Zabdyr (TDolphin leader, main coder) is rewriting code of "Biedronka Zuzia" from plain Ansi C to C++. Besides new code is more abstract, flexible and prepared for next TDolphin games. Progress is going slowly becouse all work is made during spare time, but almost 85% of code is new.
