OpenTTD on Nokia 770

OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features. More info about game on OpenTTD webpage

This webpage is here because I am trying to port this excellent game to Nokia 770 internet tablet device.

Download binary

• Application installer package openttd_0.4.7_arm.deb
• Game doesn't work without graphic and sound files from original game!
• This package doesn't work with Internet Tablet OS 2006 Edition

Installing instructions

• Download binary and install it to your 770 via control panel
• Application installer does not contain game data. You have to obtain them from original game. Place files sample.cat, trg1r.grf, trgcr.grf, trghr.grf, trgir.grf and trgtr.grf to /var/lib/install/openttd/data

Uninstalling instructions

• Remove installation via control panel
• Finalize uninstall manually. There might still be stuff in /var/lib/install/openttd (savegames etc). You can get rid of them using command

  rm -rf /var/lib/install/openttd

Source

• Source that has been used to create installer package openttd-0.4.7gabo.tar.gz. It has some changes to orignal OpenTTD source:
• Makefile hacked
• Added stuff to debian/

• PCX-screenshot code removed from screenshot.c
• Added resolutions to video/sdl_v.c

Bugs / ToDo
