Crisp Game Library

By Willems Davy

This is the Crisp Game Library Portable made by abagames, ported to 32blit SDK so it can run on 32blit, picosystem, picovision, ... It is based on my SDL Port containing the extra games.

Game Features

Extra additional games along the original / default games
Expanded Menu system to allow headings and more than 16 games listed.
Mouse simulation for mouse games
Saves Hiscores per game
Switch Between Lores and Hires mode

Instructions

You can Select a game from the game list and launch it with the A Button. Upon start of game it will show a small textual info about how to control the game but may not be easy readable in lowres mode. When you want to play another game and return to the games list press Y When you want to switch between lowres / hires mode, for example if a game has slowdowns press X to switch the the mode and restart the current game.

Lores / Hires Mode

Not all the games will run fullspeed, especially on the picosystem for this reason the pico system will by default run the games in low res mode but you can change this by pressing X Button once in a game so that the game will restart in the other mode. The mode is remembered when running other games from the games list but you'll have to renable your choice after a restart. I also don't know if the 32blit would be capable of running all the games fullspeed as i don't own a 32blit.

Notable games that are taxing are:

R Wheel
B Blast
BS Fish (when the fish swaps to little fishes)
B Cannon (when there are lots of small balls)
D Fight (when there are lots of enemies of the screen)

There may be more so you'll have to test and see what plays best, at any time during a game you can switch modes.

Credits

Crisp Game Library Portable is made by abagames, it contained 16 original games, i ported extra games from the original Javascript version of the library by using claude.ai and manual editing and game testing for originally the SDL Port, these are included in this port as well

The sound implementation was made by Obono from the M5Stack Basic port

The Game "Image" inside the blit file was initially by created by, Sai from funkey discord, for the funkey version of the library

Rubido

By Willems Davy

This is the 32blit version of my Rubido game which is a little chinese checkers or solitaire game with four difficulties. This version is a port of the funkey version, which was a port of the gp2x version.

Controls

Button	Action
A	Confirm in menus, difficulty screen, Select Peg
B	Back in menu, difficulty selector and game
Y	Deselect selected Peg In game

Playing the Game:

The aim of the game in chinese checkers is to select a (blue) peg on the board and jump over another (Red) peg to land on an empty (black) spot. When doing this the peg you jumped over will be removed from the board. You need to play the game in such a way that only one peg remains on the board at the end. Depending on the difficulty you had chosen this can be either (only) in the middle of the board or anywhere on the board. Also depending on the difficulty you had chosen you can either jump horizontally and veritically over pegs or diagonally as well.

Diffuclties

Very Easy

Jump over Pegs vertically, horizontally and diagonally
Last Peg can be anywhere on the board
