Source code of GPGames has been released. GPGames is a collection of a few smaller games for GP32.http://www.gp32spain.com/archivos.php?tipo=Juegos&pagina=detalles&numero=348

Description from GpFinalWar taken from it’s homepage:

GpFinalWar is my brand new (and also first…) project on the GP32. Based on my Amiga sourcecode (wrote in Blitz Basic), it’s a 2d real time”wargame”(you play in live, don’t wait your turn). Gfx are also home made (well by myself, it’s hard work for a coder), made under Imagine 3d. Conversion started at the end of September, and I hope my demo version will be ready as ever fo the Adic !!!! Final version is scheduled for later (May 2004), time to add a good amount of vehicles and an ia that would be a bit clever… I let you see the screenshots, a downloadable version should be coming up at the end of the month !!!mATkEUpON
