In 10 years there is no commit to change how MorphOS works, and we
have no active maintainer for it. It is unlikely it works in its
current state (but not impossible).
With the arrival of SDL2 (and removal of SDL), MorphOS is no longer
support. There is an SDL2 port for MorphOS, but it is not maintained
by upstream SDL2, and nobody can currently test it out.
If anyone wants to re-add MorphOS, please do (revert this patch,
fix the problems, and create a Pull Request). If you need any help
doing so, let us know! It is not that we don't like MorphOS, it is
that we don't have anyone fixing the problems :(
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Update 3 (and possibly other versions) consider a struct member undefined in a
static_assert in the struct body. Moving the static_assert to a member function solves the issue.
Frame rate and various game loop/graphics timing measurements and graphs. Accessible via the Help menu, and can print some stats in the console via the fps command.
Rewrite of almost the entire music control logic to a more modern style, hopefully also easier to understand. The old playlist handling made it look like arcane magic, which it doesn't have to be.
- Playlists are now stored in std::vector of objects instead of arrays of bytes with magic sentinel values, that need to be rotated around all the time. Position in playlist is stored as a simple index.
- The theme song is now reserved for the title screen, it doesn't play on any of the standard playlists, but is still available for use on custom playlists.
- When the player enters/leaves the game from the main menu, the music always restarts.
- Playback state (playing or not) is kept even if music becomes unavailable due to an empty playlist (or an empty music set), so it can restart immediately if music becomes available again.
- The shuffle algorithm was changed to a standard Fisher-Yates.
- Possibly better behavior when editing a custom playlist while it's playing.
- Custom playlists should be compatible.
- Framework for supporting custom playlists with songs from multiple music sets.
-Remove: [win32] fullscreen_bpp setting, which is replaced by above setting.
-Change: Disable usage of 8bpp blitters and video modes by default. Many modern OS and hardware cause issues with those.
For example with GCC 4.8, x86_64 Linux, Intel i5-3337U this patch improves the performance of Pile, Treham and Hamac test save games by about 10% in over-all run time at fast forward at 1920x1080 when zoomed out and when trees are not disabled.
