Liberation Circuit is an RTS/programming game, ported to Pandora. Escape from a hostile computer system! Harvest data to create an armada of battle-processes to aid your escape! Take command directly and play the game as an RTS, or use the game’s built-in editor and compiler to write your own unit AI in a simplified version of C!

Release notes:

The game use Allegro 5 and GLES2 here. It works well on Gigahertz and on CC model (without swapfile) but the speed is pretty slow on CC. It’s still playable.

Note that the games normally required at least 1024×768 screen. On the Pandora, it’s automatically downscaled to 800×480, making the fonts hard (impossible?) to read. So here it use larger font, that should be used with higher res display, so some text overlapping exist. Unfortunatly, the code editor is just unusable and ship editor is very cramped on the Pandora screen.

Dune Dynasty is a continuation of the classic real-time strategy game Dune II by Westwood Studios. It is not a remake. It builds upon the original game engine as reverse-engineered by the OpenDUNE project. Ported to Pandora by ptitSeb.

* Updates libs (allegro 5.2)
* Mouse cursor should be fine now (don’t use hardware cursor)
