SDL pMARS
This is the home page of the port of pMARS using the Simple Directmedia Library.
Currently the port is in beta testing stage testing and bug reports/feature requests are more than welcome. The latest release is version 0.9.2-5.
Downloads (remember to virus scan them, just in case):
- The source.
- Win32 executable and required DLL (put it in the same directory as the executable, or somewhere in your PATH.)
- Win32 server version executable (no graphics). Doesn't require the DLL above.
- The macro file pmars.mac. Put this file into the current working directory before running pmarsw.exe. Alternately, put it somewhere else and make the environment variable PMARSHOME point to its location.
NEW:
- Fixed core cell display bug.
- Even more AltGr madness on Windows. How can one key cause so much trouble, eh?
Features/fixes:
- Environment sensitive. Now looks for macro files in the directory specified by the environment variable PMARSHOME if they are not found in the current directory.
- Both Win32 and X11 supported.
- Command line history using Shift-Up and Shift-Down keys.
- Rewrote text display and screen update routines for faster text panels (for slow computers like mine.)
- BIG core cells for those tiny cores. (Choose a display mode larger than 2, e.g. -v 134.)
Todo:
- Compilation instructions. (Makefile for unix-likes; MINGW, and probably MSYS, and Makefile.mingw for Win32)
- Fullscreen mode for windows (already works in X11 using AltGr-Return).
- Setting the video mode from the command line.
- Default options from the environment.
