SDL2 program

SDL as a dynamically linked library. A dynamically linked library has 3 parts:

   The header files (Library.h)
   The library files (Library.lib for windows or libLibrary.a for *nix)
   The binary files (Library.dll for windows or Library.so for *nix)

Game Controller DB for SDL in 2.0.10 format

For any SDL 2 application that takes advantage of the Game Controller API, there is a way to force gamepad support to be temporarily disabled. The method that can be used is to submit a blank game controller mapping string to the game. One game that I know of that requires this type of workaround is Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition.

You will have to use an environmental variable in order for the game to see the mapping string. Under Linux, you can prefix the game command with the mapping string variable and the game will use it. Under Windows, you will have to run the set command before launching the game. Here is an example of a command that can be used to do this.

SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG="030000005e0400008e02000014010000,X360 Controller,platform:Linux" <command>

With a blank mapping string in place, the game will not detect any axis or button events from the game controller. This will allow you to then use antimicro for controller support.

Installing SDL 2

To install SDL2

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

To compile sdl2-joystick.c

gcc -o sdl2-joystick sdl2-joystick.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags sdl2`

The GUID is an SDL2 specific ID, there is no direct way to get it with system tool. The GUID is build by squishing the bus, vendor, product and version numbers into a single value

copy files from the following locations

copy from zip file to locations:

• /Applications/Angeldust.app/Contents/MacOS/Angeldust v4.3 Beta (macOS)

Mounts should do more...

Mounts should do more and each mount should have a special ability. The Moa should be the fastest mount, the Horse the high jumper, the bear strong and protects the rider.... those are just examples

Imagine if you rode a Moa and you were always at Sprint speed.

If you rode the horse you could jump an extra block higher

If you rode the bear and were attacked you would only take fractional damage

The mammoth should be able to trample creatures and kill them

The dragon can already fly so enough

Also, and this is a HUGE ONE that I have requested before, player should be able to attack while on the mount. Fighter swing sword for example. Maybe the scout would shoot with 1/2 accuracy (although she already cant hit anything)

Maybe the sorceress can only use the white wand on a mount.
