dMagnetic- A Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter - dettus - 11-24-2019
Hello!
My name is Thomas Dettbarn, and I am new to this forum. I just posted in the HW section, since I have a problem with my monitor.
But then I stumpled across this one here, and just wanted to brag about my awesome project dMagnetic: http://www.dettus.net/dMagnetic.
It is an interpreter for classic text adventures, such as "The Pawn", "The Guild of Thieves", "Fish!", "Jinxter", "Myth", "Corruption" and "Wonderland".
The beautiful graphics are being rendered in glorious ANSI-Art, as you can see in the PNG it attached to this post.
I was able to compile and run it on IRIX 6.5 with a little bit of patching. I would post a screenshot of it, running in the 4DWM window manager, but I still have some issues with the monitor.
For the next release, I would like to include the patch I did, but I need some help with that: Is there any pre-processor define in GCC that is unique to IRIX?

I have moved this thread to the software section. The emulation section is about emulating IRIX specifically.

I forget whether it is __sgi or __sgi__ (two underscores leading/trailing), but one or the other is defined by both GCC and the native MIPSpro compiler on IRIX and can be reliably used to detect the platform.

It's __sgi for MIPSPro i know this as both danielhams and gijoe77 have used that preprocessor flag.

Thanks Raion! It will be the same for GCC to identify the OS. There are other symbols to differentiate the two compilers.

I just looove the way modern software runs on old hardware.
