BlitzMax port of Minesweeper-Switch by rincew1nd
Built as a proof-of-concept for BlitzMax NG's new NX support.
Also works on Desktop platforms ;-)
- Implement the text stuff
- Fix start/end game issues.
The NX platform requires an installation of devkitPro homebrew for the Switch, and SDL2.
Official information about setting up can be found here : https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started
Get the latest devkitpro installer : https://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/
This installs MSYS, pacman and the toolchains for building NX apps.
pacman can be installed via github : https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases
A Linux .deb file and macOS .pkg are provided.
pacman is the preferred package manager used by the homebrew folks to keep devkitPro and its dependencies updated.
If it isn't already installed, we need to install the switch-dev package and SDL2 library using pacman.
To list all the available packages, use : pacman -Sl
Packages which are already installed have [installed] next to it in the list.
You will see that the SDL2 package is called switch-sdl2.
To install a package, run : pacman -S <name-of-package>
Once devkitPro is installed, you need to tell BlitzMax where to find it. You can do this by adding the nx.devkitpro option to custom.bmk in the BlitzMax bin folder :
addoption nx.devkitpro "<path to>\devkitPro"
You may want to get the latest MaxIDE, which supports compiling of NX projects via the menus.
Otherwise, you can use the following options on the commandline for bmk to select the target platform and architecture : -g arm64 -l nx
The NX platform has been tested using the ryujinx emulater : https://ryujinx.org/#/
From the commandline, you can run <path to ryujinx>/publish/Ryujinx minesweeper.nro
