Homebrew Suggestion Brick Game (Brick-Game-9999-in-1) Native Emulator on Switch?

[mathew77]

Do you know about Brick Game ('Tetris') like that, do you like it?



There's a complete Github project, written in Java (it's still NOT for the Switch, made by n0Live): https://github.com/n0Live/BrickGame

List of included games: Tetris, Dancer, Tanks, Arcanoid, Racing, Gun game, Snakes, Frogger, Invaders, Pentix.



Maybe.. Does anybody interested in porting it on Switch?..

Nice work!

Did you even read the thread? He didn't make/release anything. OP Is just asking for another dev to do it..

 

[mathew77]

Its' just a suggestion, but thank you!

Maybe, some advice of how to do it, or somebody maybe interested enough to port it on our console..

Hi! Any good news about porting it, please?..

I like it. Cute idea. Kinda bummed to find that it's written in java in that repo (would take decent amount more effort to port). Can't promise that I'll ever get a chance to actually make it but maybe someday when I'm looking for a project, I'd like to try to make this happen (unless someone beats me to it first, and please do).

Damn I loved these stupid things in the 90's.
Before I had a Game Boy I played on this "thing" and had fun with it. And even when I eventually got a Game Boy I had to hand it over to my sister sometimes for a few hours so I went back to this.
I would somehow love a port although I'd highly prefer it inside RetroArch.
Speaking of which I could swear I saw something like this already in RetroArch somewhere in the past.

Edit: I was wrong as it seems. There's no Libretro core for that. Such a shame. These devices were pretty popular back then and should definitely make it into RetroArch but that would involve to have them written in C++ and not Java.

Does it have the original sound?

Here's another (but smaller) attempt on github, it's in Java as well:

I don't want to promise anything or over-hype a project, but I just wanted to let you know I whipped up a little something last night. We'll see what happens.

We'll see what happens.

OMG-OMG-WOW!!! That's truly incredible!!!

Can't wait for test the alpha builds.

Glad you like it! Good news, as I mess around, it's feeling definitely viable.

I'm uploading the compiled .nro for every commit and I commit often so feel free to grab the latest from the main github page and throw it on your SD to see what the latest hourly experiments look like as I go on.

I'll probably do soon. Thank you so much for your work!
This should be added to the app store nx as soon as it's in beta state for easy updating.

One more post for now! Got drawable sprites going and added a portrait mode. (Should I make a separate WIP/release topic for further large updates?)

Spoiler: Screenshots

 

[M7L7NK7]

Definitely for a release

Thanks for the enthusiasm, guys! Wrote the main game engine stuff, now I just have to program each game from scratch in my own mini game engine lol.
