Mono is an open source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET Framework based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common Language Runtime. Here comes Mono RunTime ported to Pandora by ptitSeb.

Release notes:

So Here is a Mono RunTime PND.

It’s mainly designed to be a runtime,  to be used (automatically) by other PND’s mainly developed in C# to run.

But embedded in the PND is also everything needed to develop in C# on the Pandora.

So beside the actual runtime (the command “mono” to launch exe files), is a Command Line Prompt with either the complete IDE MonoDevelop (just type monodevelop to launch it) or command lines tools (mainly the “xbuild” tools).

Also, MonoRT can be used combined with Codeblocks or Dev Tools. For that, launch the Mono Command Line, reduce the window, then, from the Command Line of codeblocks or DevTools, type

MonoGame is not included for now. I’m working on it but it’s not a compile & forget thing I’m afraid…

You’ve inherited your grandfather’s old farm plot in Stardew Valley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new life!

Release notes:

Here is Stardew Valley launcher.

Stardew Valley use mono, so you’ll need the monort PND somewhere on your pandora. The game use OpenGL, so here using gl4es, with shaders and some large textures.
You need data from the Linux full version of the game. It can be from Steam or GoG. The windows version of the game will not work. If you have the gog version, you can put the gog_stardew*.sh setup file in appdata/stardewvalley for autoextraction (untested).

When starting (and before showing any window), the game seems to load all music in memory (in uncompressed form), so you have to wait a long time before playing (1min or so).
A massive swap is needed: 1.8GB on CC model if the sounds are not resample. You can go down to 400MB if resampled as Mono/11kHz.

You can force 16 bits textures (or not) by creating a file named .force16bits in appdata/stardewvalley and put 1 inside (to force) or 0 (to not force).
Also, you can change shrink mode with a file named .shrink in same folder with the shrink mode (11 for rebirth/gigahertz, 7 for CC).

BloodGDX is based on Java’s libgdx framework v0.99 source port of the original Blood from Monolith. BloodGDX is tested with Blood v1.00 and Steam version 1.21, but will working with any full versions of Blood!

Further release notes by ptitSeb:

The game use Java (so you need it installed on your Pandora) and OpenGL (so using gl4es). Also, you need the data from a full version of Blood to play this PND. Version from GoG or Steam or CD should work.

There is an ini file so it’s pre-configured. On my Gigahertz, it’s pretty smooth, with FPS most of the time around 15 minimum (with some short dip at 10fps, mostly with Java JIT triggers).

BloodGDX is closed source, so it’s “stock” version here, with the only customisation beeing the custom build of libgdx (and liblwjgl).

Tetrix (previously known as Cylinder) is an Android game by Franz Lankes. Take a very famous Russian block game and instead of lines, try to produce those lines around a cylinder. Voila!

Changes:

* Added commercial breaks after each level

Michael Chiaramonte shows us more NES Programming.

Quote:

Well, I accidentally hit the sleep key on my keyboard. More than once. Thankfully, it didn’t mess up the streaming or recording for this episode. I *did* also manage to get the map scrolling and loading fixed, so now the game actually has a working map! At this point, I need to get some real graphics, figure out how I’m going to load enemies, and also get the asset tool to allow for the map to scroll. You know, all the things that will be needed to actually make this a playable game 🙂
