Hyperspace Delivery Boy

[anarkavre]

Hey Romero, I was wondering if you are going to release the Hyperspace Delivery Boy source code any time soon and make it open source. If you did that would be great because I was hoping to do a port of it to SDL. Thanks!

Hey there,

Actually we're going to release HDB to the public sometime soon (I'm working on it this second, in fact).  I'm not sure about the source code being released, but a Linux port is almost ready.  A Mac version is also finished.  As well as the Pocket PC version!  Heh.  So, we'll release all those as soon as I get a proper install version done.

Hey John.  I sure wish you'd seriously consider a port to the  Tapwave Zodiac.  That system rocks and would be perfect for HDB!

Are there still plans on having HDB going public?

I don't think that system got very far lol.  I know that post is old and that's the thing about it: you can see how much has changed since then.  That system did look pretty cool back then though.

It's funny but I still use my Zodiac much more so than my PSP.  Of course the few commercial games that the PSP has, definitely play and look better than than those on the Zodiac.  But the Zodiac does do more things that I can use it for everyday at work.  Plus it's got great freeware emulators, TCPMP (a freeware media player that rocks on the Zodiac), and  a new version of a Quake port that supports multiplayer over Bluetooth and the Internet.  I still would like to see a HDB port for the Zodiac, but it's probably no longer economically feasible.

The Zodiac isn't dead yet, but you're right.....things have definitely changed since it first came out, and all for the better.  I can't wait to see what the next generation of toys brings.
