supertux VS scummvm

SuperTux - Platformer inspired by Mario Brothers. C++, SDL2

Looking at the repo for SuperTux as featured here in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39528726 and trying to understand how the cross platform aspect works. Am I correct in my thoughts that it's OpenGL based, using a cross platform library called Simple DirectMedia Layer aka SDL, found at https://www.libsdl.org?

I see a frequently occurring header file called SDL.h, but when I search the repo at https://github.com/SuperTux/supertux I can't find it.

What is SDL.h and why am I unable to locate it?

Well, there actually is/was a Supertux 2. I don't remember the specifics, I think they rewrote it from blit 2D into OpenGL? You can see here : https://github.com/SuperTux/supertux/blob/master/supertux2.d... that it's called supertux2

But yeah this has nothing to do with the actual content of the levels, it only refers to the engine.

nix run git+https://github.com/supertux/supertux.git?submodules=1

If you know the file name, you can use the "Go to file" button to search for files with some specific name -- e.g. https://github.com/SuperTux/supertux/find/master

Some open source games using C++ include SuperTux, SuperTuxKart, OpenRCT2

ScummVM - Engine to run DOS Point & Click Adventure games. C++, SDL2, OpenGL

They're now affiliated with ZoomPlatform, if you want to both buy DRM-free and support ScummVM: https://www.scummvm.org/news/20230830/ , https://www.scummvm.org/ (link on right under PayPal)

u/d10sfan has added ScummVM port for Sanitarium to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, modern port of the game can be played as a Steam game.

SCUMM VM is now like that, plenty of Point and Click games https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm

It's a long shot, but some old games are available via https://www.scummvm.org/

Ultima 6 - I use ScummVM to play it. It's a great engine that provides a layer of UI compatibility over the game.

The game is "Beneath A Steel Sky", an old school point and click adventure. And though the graphics are pixel style, they are still very well done, and the game and story are still great. The emulator is ScummVM. There's some other games that were released as freeware.

ScummVM, which has been working on Adobe Director support, can detect the game (thank you @mistydemeo <3), but trying to run it will softlock you on the game's title screen, unable to click anything. It's likely this will be fixed in the future, but for now I can't recommend it for this particular game.
