We’re a quarter of the way through 2009 already (!) and progress has finally been made on Flyin’ Irons.
Using the instructions from Thierry Brault on the Soya mailing list (which were excellent and only required a few small amendments), today I successfully built Soya 0.14 for Python 2.5, with gcc-4 and pyrex-9.7.2, on Windows.
I then installed and built Flyin Irons using Python 2.5, and was able to play the game on Windows using Soya 0.14 and Python 2.5 for the first time!
It worked remarkably well – it looks “better” in general, the main thing that I noticed first was that text looks much better in this version. Is it me, or is the smoke system looking a bit better too?
