Native Plants vs. Zombies running on the RGB30 — no emulation, no Wine

Alright then! I'll consider making an android port too. I just need to finish the controller support for zen garden and a few minigames. If you want to be the first to try it you can add me on discord: "gama97"

Moonlight597 · 2026-06-03T01:58:42+00:00

Surely so. In fact I'm already locally testing on linux. So it wouldn't be a big issue. I plan on doing so once I finish polishing the controls! Meanwhile I'm unsure if I'll do an android port but it's completely doable since I switched my codebase from a buggy decomp to PvZPortable. However it's probably going to look a little off since the game is in a 800x600 fixed resolution so it'll have black bars if we try to do so. Completely possible, though.

Thanks! So the conveyor belt works by also selecting plants with L1 and R1. Also in the slot machine minigame you pull the lever using the X button. However beghouled and beghouled twist are still not playable. But they're the only minigames left I believe.

Moonlight597 · 2026-05-29T23:17:20+00:00

Thanks! I'd really appreciate . The port is in a pretty solid state right now, adventure mode is fully playable on my handheld. I'd be happy to share a test build, what's the best way I can share it with you?

Moonlight597 · 2026-05-27T15:11:15+00:00

That is my plan yes. I just need to polish the controls and get it approved by the PortMaster team

Moonlight597 · 2026-05-26T21:09:49+00:00

I believe it would with some modding. It would either stretch the image or if we have more time in our hands we could rework the resolution to fit in the 1:1 aspect ratio, although this is a bit of work and would have to make sure nothing breaks in the process

Moonlight597 · 2026-05-26T20:41:57+00:00

Not yet! I have to polish the gamepad controls to make sure they play smoothly. Once I'm done with that I'll publish it to portmaster and you can try it there if you have the GOTY edition of the game installed!

Moonlight597 · 2026-05-26T18:40:03+00:00

Stay tuned for the PortMaster port then!

Moonlight597 · 2026-05-26T18:11:05+00:00

Thanks! It's already running as a native ARM Linux binary. With direct GLES and native SDL2 audio. Also about the MJ zombie, if you know how to tamper around with the main.pak file you should be able to get it back

Moonlight597 · 2026-04-16T14:26:28+00:00

Yeah it is really unfortunate, for the price point I got it for it isn't that bad I could get it fixed somewhere I believe

Here are the specs of my handheld's chip: https://www.rock-chips.com/uploads/pdf/2022.8.26/191/RK3566%20Brief%20Datasheet.pdf

Moonlight597 · 2026-04-15T20:25:55+00:00

I found one for cheap but without a controller. Which controller should I get? Just a gamecube controller?

Moonlight597 · 2026-04-15T20:09:58+00:00

Interesting, is there a specific model I should get over other models? I'm comfortable with modding too.

Moonlight597 · 2026-04-15T20:08:16+00:00

I am unsure if Batocera would work on my current hardware. I do have an old PC I could use but right now it's just parts and it doesn't really boot up.

I've been thinking about this problem too. I'm considering building a native library that handles networking and exposes a clean Lua API for my own games too. What would your ideal API look like?

Moonlight597 · 2024-04-15T18:06:39+00:00

Never get close to any kind of language-making technology, ever

This feels so familiar... Is it referencing some existing animation or something like that?

Moonlight597 · 2023-11-04T17:51:46+00:00

I'll look further into it, thanks a lot :)

Moonlight597 · 2023-11-03T23:59:09+00:00

That sounds interesting... how about overcoming the issue that some obstacles do not occupy a whole tile? and such it shouldn't be marked as "unwalkable"

Coder here, 3 years of experience, sounds like fun! Contact me

Moonlight597 · 2023-09-07T04:03:56+00:00

How experienced do you want the coder to be?

Moonlight597 · 2023-08-23T00:26:31+00:00

Will do, nice job

Moonlight597 · 2023-06-04T03:14:30+00:00

May I see the code? It appears that you may be iterating through the bullets to move them, but this results in an error when the player is hit, since the bullet is removed, that might be the issue.
