A port of Stunt Car Remake to OpenPandora, Linux and Emscripten. Status: Working

stuntcarremake

This is a port to Linux & OpenPandora of Stunt Car Racer Remake, a windows remake of the old Stunt Car Racer from the AtariST/Amiga time.

To build on Linux, simply use make LINUX=1 For ODroid it will be make ODROID=1 and for PocketCHIP: make CHIP=1 a simple make will build for Pandora. Also, you can also use SDL2 instead of SDL1, by adding SDL=2 to the make command (so SDL2 Linux is make LINUX=1 SDL=2)

You can play Emscripten version, built using gl4es here: Web version

Some code (the OpenAL part) come from Forsaken/ProjectX port by chino.

Controls are: On Linux / Windows 4 Arrows for Turning / Accelerate / Brake Space for Boost

On Pandora DPad Left/Right for turning (X) Accelerate (B) Brake (R) Boost

Here is a video on StuntCarRemake running on the OpenPandora

Original project is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/stuntcarremake/

stuntcarremake's Issues

Can I use your atlas.png file?

Hi! Bonjour!
Sorry to open a ticket, but I'm not sure how else to contact you.
I'd like to ask the permission to use your atlas.png file.
I'm building an "animated" SimHub Overlay as a fun tribute to this great game.
I don't plan to sell it but I'd like to freely share it to the SimHub community.
I'll mention your work of course.
Please. Let me know if it's ok with you.
Have a nice day!

Debug should not optimize at all

Setup Travis CI for build AppImage for Linux

Could you setup .travis.yml and your repo for build and deploy AppImage packages?

Hard mode?

Hi,

thank you for this - loved to play this game on Amiga.

FWIW, when you won the original game, you got access to a hard mode - the main differences where (1) everything got a light blue color scheme, (2) your car was much faster and (3) difficulty got insane.

Dunno how hard it would be to add that. I can only say that it was very cool to play that.

Oh, and could there be a "race won" message when you win a race? The first times I won a race I thought the game crashed because the game just stopped for no apparent reason.

Thanks, Michael.

Trying to build a simple GN/Linux+SDL2 version

Hi @ptitSeb

I am trying to build a simple GNU/Linux+SDL2 version of Stunt Car Remake usging the code in this repo.

For this, I added these to the Makefile (else it tried to build against SDL1....):

FLAGS+= -Dlinux -DUSE_SDL2
LDFLAGS= -s FULL_ES2=1 -s USE_SDL_TTF=2 -s USE_SDL=2

However I still get:

Text display corrupt with SDL=2

When i compile with SDL=2 then the text display is corrupt.
With SDL=1 it is all fine.

Seeing error when using latest emscripten

I ran into problems attempting to run stuntcarremake after building it

Using gl4es master from 23 May 2020 - I saw the changes merged on 23 April 2020 (https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es/pull/162/files)

And against
Emscripten v1.39.16: 15 May 2020

I built gl4es using the emscripten target
And then built this project after setting:
EMSCRIPTEN=1 in the makefile

I get the generated files in /docs

However when I attempt to execute in browsers chrome/firefox/safari I get the same error.
After the console lines:
LIBGL: Using GLES 2.0 backend
LIBGL: Hardware test disabled, nothing activated..
I see:
exception thrown: TypeError: Cannot read property 'getParameter' of undefined,TypeError: Cannot read property 'getParameter' of undefined
at emscriptenWebGLGet
at _emscripten_glGetIntegerv

Also went back and tried a slightly older version of emscripten, but again same error.
Emscripten v1.39.10: 09 March 2020

I was wondering if you could confirm if you see the same issue?

Some glitch with "r" symbol in text

I use AppImage build.

Odroid Go Advance problem

Linux: Can't accelerate + boost + steer left at the same time

Just downloaded and built this - thanks a lot for the port. On Debian Testing, if I accelerate (CRSR up), add boost (SPACE) and then try to steer left (CRSR left) at the same time, the car keeps going straight forward. Acc., boost and turning right works as expected though.

Engine sound broken on Raspberry Pi (aarch64)

Hi @ptitSeb

Since I recenly enabled full OpenGL support in the KMSDRM backend in SDL2, I have specifically wanted to have this wonder playing on my Pi4 in aarch64 mode.

Game builds, but audio seems broken: all I can hear is some static noise.
The exact same code builds and sounds fine on X86_64 using the same backends, which puzzles me. Tried to pass GCC the -fsigned-char and -funsigned-char because the only difference between C code when built for x86_64 or aarch64 is char signedness, but it didn't fix it.

I see that the game seems to use 8bit audio, according to this message:

sound_buffer: format = mono8

Do you think that could be related? No way to use a "more standard" audio format?

Thanks!

In game control instructions are incorrect

Stunt Car Racer was and is one of my fave games on the C64 and Amiga so I'm happy to see a faithful open source recreation of it.

I have tried Stunt_Car_Remake-d3cc0c2-x86_64.AppImage under Debian and I noticed that the in-game, on screen instructions for the controls are wrong. It says that you should use S and D to steer left and right and ENTER to accelerate when in fact you have to use the arrow keys.

I'd love to see this get ported to the open source Uzebox games console although I expect it would have to be reduced to one of its 4 colour vector video modes with no filled polygons.

implement draw distance?

Hey!

I was posting issue in gl4es :D. I do that because i want install and share instrucion with others how to play this game on pocketCHIP

It works now but when "menu" works fine with like 10-20fps, game itself run too slow. Idk. how you draw track model but maybe its possible to implement draw distance? maybe this could increase it

i test it with:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/gl4es/lib LIBGL_FB=3 ./stuntcarracer
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/gl4es/lib ./stuntcarracer

and both option with -n

and i don't want to be offence because different machine spec etc. but emulating oryginal game via v64 works faster.

SDL1.2 really?

Most have migrated to SDL2, will you as well?

https://wiki.libsdl.org/MigrationGuide

Adding particle effects/smoke like the original?

Only one thing is missing in this great remake: smoke when off-road, and particles when you move on the edge of the tracks...
Will these be implemented for a faithful remake? :)

Adding new (already existing) tracks?

In 2004, a hacked version of the original Amiga game was released, containing 8 new tracks:

http://hol.abime.net/2345

The original author of the Remake (i.e. Dan V) hasn't replied to my mail. Would you be willing to add these new tracks to your version?

I could probably find somebody who extracts the track data of the new tracks from the Amiga game. I don't know if the remake is using the track data as is, or if it needs to be converted to a more suitable format first?
