Homebrew Homebrew game SuperTux Milestone 1 port for Switch

[Headshotnoby]

Adding onto the pile of SuperTux ports (Wii, PSP, 3DS, PS2 (mine!)), I bring you the Nintendo Switch port of SuperTux v0.1.1, also known as Milestone 1.
Additionally you can also think of this as a port of SuperTux Milestone 1 from SDL 1.2 to SDL2!

SuperTux is a jump'n run like game, with strong inspiration from the Super Mario Bros games for Nintendo.

Current release: v0.1.1b

Any game where you play as a penguin is a good game

Nice work!.. BTW, is it possible to port to the NX the latest SuperTux 0.6.3 with more graphically advanced capabilities?

it should be, if i can find a switch port (or compile one) of the Boost libraries, since the latest version makes use of that

Pretty good mario clone. I'd suggest adding d-pad/arrow button support as well as joystick.
Oh yeah and when I installed from the homebrew app store there was an unnecessary image file in the root of my SD card, deleting it didn't break anything.

that's weird. when submitting the app i sent them a link to the github release and from there, they make their own zip file for it

Yea! Dpad support and proper 4:3 display aspect ratio instead of forced stretched out 16:9 as an option will be much appreciated!! Regards, in advance!

It's Tux!!
Tux also has its own painting program. It's great for kids learning to draw.

Anyone can port this?

Update v0.1.1a
https://github.com/headshot2017/supertux-switch/releases/tag/v0.1.1a

• DPad/Arrows can now be used to move Tux ingame
• Added "Stretched" video setting to toggle 4:3 aspect ratio stretching to 16:9 (disabled by default)

the update will (hopefully) be reflected on the homebrew app store soon as well

Thank you very much!

Btw I guess I found out a bug. After the game starts, at first DPad buttons works well. Then using Lstick to move works well, too. But after that, DPad buttons are acting weird, and doesn't work well at all.

Can you please take a look?
PS: and another wish. Could you please assign XY buttons as a mirror for AB? I. e. A=X, B=Y, 'cause for now they're not active at all.

i'll look into it

i've fixed the issue with the dpad, however instead of mirroring A & B with the X & Y keys, i'll change it so Y/X are the run/fire buttons and A/B are the jump buttons for a more comfortable setup

Thank you! It will be available on a Github, as usual?..

Update v0.1.1b
https://github.com/headshot2017/supertux-switch/releases/tag/v0.1.1b

Changelog:

• Fixed issue with DPad movement where: moving with the left stick first, then pressing left/right on the DPad would move Tux on the opposite direction until you also press that direction.
• Changed controls to be more comfortable: X and Y to run/fire, A and B to jump.
