I've played this old game on my Atari ST : toobin
I'm trying to do it for psp, using Lua.

All versions :
http://cyril.c.free.fr/pub/files/toobin/toobin_v0.1.rar
http://cyril.c.free.fr/pub/files/toobin/toobin_v0.1.5.rar
(you need Lua player first, see: http://www.luaplayer.org and read "Readme first.txt")

I haven't any PSP, so if you can test it in real conditions (and say if it works, it's slow etc..) thanks!

I also would like to do a stand-alone version (no need lua player), but got some compilation pb: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?p=28612#28612

On v2.0, runs fine using the USER_LUA player.

No collision detection though - is that expected?

no on this version there is collision only for bonus (cans) and rocks, for border and other things it's not already done ;)

I keep seeing that 'Atari ST' comment so I really must clear it up .. :)

Toobin' was an arcade game, that also had a port to the Atari ST (among other machines.) :)

Nice job cybercouf, do need colision detection though, I can ride through the sand :D

How did you get the white sprite background to be transparent n the game?
Even when I use bob in my code and try to blit him across the screen, the
white background is visible :(
I can't even see how you did it looking at your LUA code ??

He probably uses a transparent PNG (with an alpha channel).
You can create such files with programs like Photoshop or the Gimp (not sure).

I said I used Bob (the same png file he used) in my program,
and the background was not invisible.

Thanx, I actually figured it out and came back to clear it up :)
I was using the parameter false... Ididn't know what it was for,
but I noticed the difference in your blit line.

It would be great to have some good documentation for PSP LUA.

Keep up the work on your game.
Cheers, Art.
