Wiz SDL Library v1.2.13 (Wiz misc)

Wiz SDL Library with diagonal tearing fix!

Further release notes:

It’s same as old Wiz SDL Libraries( http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi?0,0,0,0,23,138 ).
But now it contains new version of SDL(1.2.13) with better performance, up to 110 FPS.

I’ve modified Openwiz toolchain’s SDL source http://x11.gp2x.de/openwiz/SDL-1.2.13_081118_Rotation.tar.gz ),
and used this rotation code ( http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/50876-copy-320×240-buffer-to-240×320-screen/ ) to improve performance. Special thanks to Orkie, Exophase and KungPhoo!

Usage : Copy “libSDL-1.2.so.0” to the folder of the game.

Sourcecode can be found here: http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/wiz.cgi?0,0,0,0,46,272

You are a small, modern boy who finds himself in a magical land. Dr. Malvado, whose name means Evil in Spanish language, rules in this world and he should be stopped by you, because you are a good boy.

Fortunately, you are not limited by 1 life but by 3 lives and sometimes may be increased with bonus life. To progress in the game, you (represented in 2D side-scrolling view) should move left/right, jump over obstacles and on the opponents to kill them, collect the bagels, reach the checkpoints to resume the game from such place, and going from level to level. There are 3 levels in the game, and you should show as high score as possible. [Text by http://www.mobygames.com/game/castle-of-dr-malvado ]
