What was done
- All structures were populated, globals and locals named.
- All subs were decompiled, C pseudo code was converted to compilable C++. Loose (namespace?) subs were assigned to classes.
Compiling
Project uses C++11
and depends on SDL2
libs.
On Windows
Download and unpack devel packages for SDL2
and SDL2_mixer
.
Set paths to them in CMakeLists.txt
, see suggested placement in /Libs
.
Compile with Visual Studio; tested with 2019.
On Linux
Install devel packages for SDL2
and SDL2_mixer
.
Compile with CMake; tested with GCC 10, Clang 11.
To cross-compile for Windows, install a 64-bit version of mingw and its SDL2
and SDL2_mixer
distributions, then use the mingwcc.cmake
toolchain.
Some distributions provide a package in their repository. You can use those for easier dependency management and updates.
This project is available as Flatpak on Flathub.
On macOS
- Homebrew: Install the
SDL2
,SDL2_mixer
homebrew packages. - MacPorts: Install the
libSDL2
,libSDL2_mixer
macports packages.
Compile with CMake. Ensure that CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES
variable is set for either x86_64
Apple Intel or arm64
for Apple Silicon.
Tested with: macOS Big Sur (Intel) with Xcode 13 & macOS Montery Beta (Apple Silicon) with Xcode 13.
Plans
Decompile original gameResizable window, scaled graphicsLoader for high-res sprites from CADET.DATCross-platform port using SDL2, SDL2_mixer, ImGui- Misc features of Full Tilt: 3 music tracks, multiball, centered textboxes, etc.
- Maybe: Text translations
- Maybe: Android port
- Maybe x2: support for other two tables
- Table specific BL (control interactions and missions) is hardcoded, othere parts might be also patched
On 64-bit bug that killed the game
I did not find it, decompiled game worked in x64 mode on the first try.
It was either lost in decompilation or introduced in x64 port/not present in x86 build.
Based on public description of the bug (no ball collision), I guess that the bug was in TEdgeManager::TestGridBox
