Avoision is a simple arcade game where you try to capture a red square (as quickly as possible) while avoiding numerous white squares.

General Info
The scope of this game is fairly small because I wanted to make absolutely sure that I could finish the project in a reasonable amount of time. It includes these features:

• Fast, arcade-style gameplay
• Retro graphics and sound effects
• Chiptune music (by Lada Laika: http://www.myspace.com/ladalaika/)
• Customizable controls (including joystick support)
• High scores lists

Thanks!

It took longer than I had hoped, but I finally implemented the last few changes I planned for Avoision (in-game instructions, new graphics, more intuitive UI).

Before I make the official announcement about hitting 1.0, would it be possible for anyone to give the Linux package a shot on their machine? (Just want to make sure I didn't miss anything egregious)

Debian package: http://sourceforge.net/projects/avsn/files/avoision_1.0-1_i386.deb/download
RPM: http://sourceforge.net/projects/avsn/files/avoision-1.0-2.i386.rpm/download

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Great, I'll try that ASAP :-D

I tested the rpm in OpenSUSE 12.1 Live Gnome in VirtualBox, since I'm doing tests for Nikki and the Robots anyway

When trying to install, I got the error
nothing provides liblua5.1.so.0 needed by avoision-1.0-2.i386

I updated the AUR packages for radius-engine and avoision. fbg2 compiles fine too!

I got a segfault the first time I pressed play in avoision. the next times it worked. Can't reproduce.

I'm on a multicore machine. Racing conditions?

Also, when I play a game, die and then exit using Esc Esc Esc quickly, I segfault:

Awesome, thanks for giving it a try. I guess I still have some work to do

For the "first time I hit play" crash, one thing that springs to mind is that there is actually some code that is only executed the first time you start a game. If you delete the "~/.Avoision" directory and try once more, that would narrow down whether it's related to the instructions or not (I suspect the crash is not related to the instructions).

As far as a multi-core machine, that's very likely the cause of both crashes. All my testing has been on single-core machine (that's all I have handy), so it's very possible I missed a timing issue or two (esp. related to audio).

Again, many thanks for trying this out! Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hm. I did that but the process wouldn't end in gdb. I ctrl-c killed it. The bt might be useless thus.

I use pulseaudio. It might be their fault too. Very likely actually.. I think something about the audio daemon starting only when the first sound gets played and there being a delay...

By the way: on linux, ~/.configure/project/ should be used as far as I know.

I seem to be not able to consistently reproduce.. just now I got this shortly after into the game I think:

I hate the new graphics! It looks like the background texture is a bug at first sight.
And the game crashed

I prefer the 0.7 version :-/

MCMic, if you happen to recall what you were doing when the game crashed, I'll try and reproduce/debug/fix it. Any hints on how to reproduce the crash would be extremely helpful!

Sorry you don't like the new graphical style. I'd be curious to know if it's just the background you dislike (or all the new graphics).

I was just playing normally, extreme mode.
It was the first game I launched.
I think it crashed while taking a red square or hitting a white one, but I'm not sure. It might have been immediatly after I first lost.

And I don't like any of the new graphics, the older one where just fine, the new background seems buggy, the new squares are all gradient mac-os style, I don't like them either.
I like the fade transition but it was already here in the 0.7.

Thanks! Sorry to trouble you one more time, but if there's any text in "~/.Avoision/Avoision.log", could you email it to deraj@users.sourceforge.net? If not, then it's a non-Lua error I'll have to track down on my side.

Thanks for clarifying your thoughts about the graphics--that really helps me to understand where you're coming from. It's actually encouraging to hear that someone else was perfectly happy with the original super-retro graphics. Perhaps change is not good

(That took longer than anticipated since I got side-tracked with an entry for the Experimental Gameplay Project. Check out my mini-game Cretan Hubris if you like maze action)

I just released Avoision v1.1 (which should fix the issues identified earlier in this thread):

DEB: http://sourceforge.net/projects/avsn/fi ... b/download
Source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/avsn/fi ... z/download

First off, a huge thanks to qubodup and MCMic for alerting me to the problem (and especially qubodup for sending a core dump and symbol table).

The short version is you'll want to build Avoision/FBG2/Cretan Hubris against Radius Engine 1.1 on Linux. This should fix crashes on SDL v1.2.15 and improve performance on v1.2.14 and below.

For those that are interested, the crash turned out to be caused by two bugs. One was a regression in SDL v1.2.15 (I didn't originally hit the crash because I was testing on v1.2.14). The bug was pretty straight-forward; SDL_SemWaitTimeout returned the wrong error code on timeout. I submitted a patch to fix the bug (and update the unit tests) and the patch has been incorporated into SDL's revision control (http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1426).

The second bug was that Radius Engine 1.0 did not tolerate failure from SDL_SemWaitTimeout gracefully, leading to a crash. The fix here was just to 1) handle failures in this bit of code gracefully and 2) update the code to not use SDL_SemWaitTimeout. This has a bonus side effect of improving performance on SDL v1.2.14 and below (because on those releases, SDL_SemWaitTimeout is extremely inefficient--so much so that SDL's documentation wiki advises developers avoid the function entirely).

Again, thanks to everyone for their help. Hopefully Avoision 1.1 will live up to its billing as the first "stable" release!

can i dare ask for an x64 build

doktorfinkelstein {l Wrote}:can i dare ask for an x64 build

A perfectly reasonable request... unfortunately, I don't know how to setup a cross-compiling tool chain to build an x64 .deb.

If anyone has any tips, let me know!

You could provide exact instructions on how to create one and ask for somebody to follow these here.

Hopefully no one minds me bumping this thread, but I just wanted to say that this is actually one of the better games I found in the Fedora repo. So recommended.

Nice game. I'm tempted to add a second player so I can put it on the arcade machine. Also was thinking how it could be reskinned to make it more visually appealing. Maybe a spaceship rescuing people in an asteroid field.

It would be good to get more up to date builds online. The 1.1 .deb from 2012 (as expected) does not work on recent versions of Ubuntu.
