Copy the files either (a) to the CF/SD-cards root or (b) to the folder /ustrat.

Controls

Select - Switch to map and build-mode

Start - Pause switch

L+Stylus - Drag the view port around (play mode)

Stylus - Select and command units (play mode), Move view port on the map or build new units (map mode)

Screenshots

Compatibility

Require a FAT-device. Tested by the author on Dualis.

Changelog

2006/05/21

Fixed a tree sorting bug introduced with the 20.05.06 version.
Modified guilayer->Close() to actually remove the layer from the gui (mem save).
Fixed GE_TIMER not passing GUI on event.
Fixed: wrong stack & link register shown on crashdbg.

2006/05/20

Speeded unit enumerating functions and reduced stackload.
Added first gui implementation for menu's.
Ip settings are no longer hardcoded.
Ip settings are now loaded from & saved to "net.conf".

2006/05/19

Fixed darkenscanline did randomly (wrong flag-check) not modify the first pixel.

2006/05/18

New map option VIEWPORT=(x,y) to set the starting viewport.
Added internal volume control for soundstreams (for upcoming options menu).
Added internal volume modifier for all effects (max effect volume).
Added custom gametimers (in preparation for time caused events).
New map option MAPNAME= to name a map (will be shown in multiplayer or saves).
Started to work on the hosting list.

2006/05/17

Fixed all compile warnings (no more compiling spam).
Fixed a long searched error in the sorted tree (possible invalid return of GetBrother()).
Added more test functions to multiplayer test (atm IP & Such are hardcoded according to my test environment).

2006/05/16

Fixed timing issues with streamed sound/increased the rinbuffer size.
Added more failure checks to streaming, new control functions (Stop,IsPlaying).
Fixed a mode wrong wifi mode while scanning for APs.
If the game finishes, the current sound stream is stopped (it endlessly looped the last cache before).
The multiplayer test should now be able to associate to any not wep-protected AP.

2006/05/15

Each building unit can now only invest in one build at a given time.
If a routing fails after the way was blocked just infront of the unit, the unit ai waits 1sec till retry.
Sound streaming added. Any 11025Hz 16bit PCM mono WAV file named sfx/stream.wav will be played once on gamestart.

2006/05/14

Fixed exception stack.
Fixed crash when IRQ appears walking through a sorted tree (increased stacksize).

2006/05/13

Added crash debuginfo, which prints out the registers content at crash situation (not including not terminated loops).
Added (partitial) debuginfo on R+L+A+B keypress, showing the current SVC-mode location (for detecting not terminating loops).
Added diagonal directions to moving animations.
Found new restrictions to the routing algorithm, guess have to change it later.
Added tank.
Buildings can now attack too. All buildings with a noticeRange set will attack.
Units will drop its target, when a dropRange is set, and the distance to its target exceeds this range.

2006/05/12

Speeded up the no-route-to-target recognizing.
Fixed units using the wrong animation. Units allways faced the target, now they face the next steps location.

2006/05/11

Updated some of the ingame gfx with the rendered versions.
Reduced the stack-load of .lst parsing functions.
Speeded the routing function a bit.
Fixed a routing crash.
Fixed a rout-failure when target or startpoint is marked as non-passable.
Buildings are not selected in multiselectings anymore.

2006/05/09

Added unit-routing (yet releatively cpu intense).
Fixed another mem leak (24Bytes per Frame).
Added a debug mem output (bytes allocated for user/bytes in chunks allocated for malloc).

2006/05/06

Resource producing units.
Fixed a bug placing buildings with id bit0 = unset.
Modified gameTimer to allow it to be fastened/slowed-down at any time.
Added resource commands to .maps (STARTMONEY, ONEVENT GIVEMONEY).

2005/05/04

Changed movement command. The units keep their formation.

2005/05/03

Added system independed unique numbers to units, allowing them to be addressed in multiplayer mode.
Made party colors flexible.

2006/05/02

Added TERRAIN command to map for adding a single terrain image.
Fixed the (hopefully) last crash situation on dying units.
Created basic menu.
Fixed several problems on restarting a map.
Fixed several memleaks on a map cycle.
Restart of a map still hangs.
Added first network code (init & find AP).

2006/05/01

New events: MAP_COMPLETE, PARTY_UNITS_KILLED, PARTY_BILDINGS_DESTROYED.
It is possible to build building now.
Fixed an issue preventing a unit beeing able to build itself.
Added the building placement.
