How to convert from Ncurses to SDL by Lorence Lombardo.


Although I am using GeekGadgets 68k this readme is also relevant to other
architectures and environments.

Steps:-

1. You need to have the SDL implementation of ncurses. i.e. pdcurses
 
   http://aminet.net/package/dev/lib/libpdcurses
 
   Because I already have ncurses in my GG environment I have made a
   "pdcurses" directory in my "GG:include". This also requires a small
   modification to the pdcurses includes so I have provided my pdcurses
   includes in this archive.


2. You need to have some ncurses software to compile which is provided in
   this archive. I am using "bastet-0.41" which is a game by
   Federico Poloni. This was originally obtained from here:-
   http://fph.altervista.org/prog/files/bastet-0.41.tgz


3. In the game sources I have commented all occurrences of 
   "#include <ncurses.h>", "#include <curses.h>" and "#include <term.h>".

   These have been replaced respectively with the following:-
   "#include <pdcurses/curses.h>", "#include <pdcurses/curses.h>" and
   "#include <pdcurses/term.h>" .


4. In the "Makefile" compare the "LDFLAGS" changes to that of the original.


Additional notes:-

For this readme I have chosen to use the FPU version of libpdcurses.

The games keyboard controls are best and most responsive when playing
level 9.
