XRick for S60

Rick Dangerous is a platform game I used to play on my Atari ST in the 1980s.
XRick for S60 is a port of XRick for Symbian S60 phones.

This port was possible thanks to S60 SDL by Markus Mertama.

If you like this game, want to support further development, would like to see more ports to S60, or want to help me buy a N95 consider making a (tiny) donation!

What's New

Current Version: V0.55
Major speed improvement (full speed even on the internal E90 screen I hope)
Version: V0.50
Menu added, accessible with the Left Soft Key.
Jump to next level. (The game is hard!)
Cheating: Infinite lives, Never Die. (The game is very hard :-)
Volume up/down.
PIPS library no longer needed.

Version: V0.10
Modified so that OpenC library is not needed.

Version: V0.10
Ported to S60 3rd edition.
Added option to rotate the screen. Still not automatically.

Not working / planned
Crashes when screen orientation changes. I can't figure out how to use CSDL yet. (help!)
There is no icon on a N95 (at least). Since I don't have one can't do much yet.
Sound has much static noise.
Speed up drawing routines.

Downloading - Installation

Note: It's an early beta and only tested on a Nokia N80. Use it at your own risk! There are still many bugs.

Including SDL library: xrickS60.sisx - This is what you probably want.
Without the library: xrickS60nolibs.sisx - Use this if the needed libraries are already installed.

Note: If you get an update error uninstall the previous version first.
Source code: xrickS60-src.zip

The only library needed is S60 SDL.

Usage

Arrow Keys, 4, 8, 6, 2 : Move, jump, crawl
Middle Button + Up : Fire
Middle Button + Left, Right : Poke something with the stick
Middle Button + Down : Dynamite
Left Soft Key : Menu
Right soft key : Game Over, Exit Game
# : Rotate Screen (useful for portait oriented screens)
*, 5 : Same with Middle Button
