Description:
FreeVikings 0.5 is arcade software developed by Igneus.
FreeVikings game reimplements the DOS game Lost Vikings.
One evening I was playing with toys like Emacs (my favourite text editor) and Ruby (my favourite high-level programming language) and I dreamed about playing one very nice game, Lost Vikings, on Linux. Without DOS emulator.
If only I had the source code... I would change it to run on my favourite operating system. But it's a commercial game and it's manufacturers don't want to make it free, although it's rather old (1993). "Let you make it from scratch." I said to myself and started writing my first game in Ruby.
Requirements:
To get freeVikings running you have to have installed Ruby, SDL library and it's extensions SDL_image, SDL_gfx and SDL_TTF. For Ruby you also need some extensions. RUDL (version equal or higher then 0.7), REXML, Log4r, and script. You can find them all in Ruby application archive - RAA. Actually you can have received some of them with your Ruby distribution (very generous is the Ruby one-click installer for Windows).
What's New in This Release:
Support for tiled maps and two new levels.
FreeVikings 0.5 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.
Downloading FreeVikings 0.5 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
