A really phun piece of software

[Garyu]

A friend of my brothers did this piece of software that emulates physics. When my brother told me to check it out I was like, meh, I hate physics. But this piece of software actually looks like loads of phun! :D

The windows are wobbly, so it looks like he is running it in linux. There is some link to the software, but I never did anything else than look at the YouTube video. ^^

[walkerk]

That was pretty cool...

Download link (http://www.acc.umu.se/%7Eemilk/)

Can't wait to get home and play...
I sent an email to the developer regarding the license, let's hope it's GPL.

[rowanparker]

I tried it but recieved this error:

ERROR: This system doesn't support shaders. Please update your graphics driver and try again
I have rather an old video card and have no idea about the drivers (okay, I could do it but everything else works fine like compiz).
Anyway to add 'shaders' support to X using the standard ati driver.

[luctor]

So cool !!

[wieman01]

Oh my gosh, this is so much fun. Hilarious. I have just wasted an hour playing it!

[JurB]

Me wanna play, i have to wait 5 hours before i can :(
I know what i'm gonna do this WE ;)

[mr.propre]

I played it on my windows vista machien, and its a fun little game. :KS

[angry_johnnie]

so how'd you install it? i downloaded it, and tried running the executable, but all i get is a black window, which stays open for about a second or two. the readme file didn't shed any light. am i missing something?

[hyper_ch]

this is cool :)

[Zlatan]

fabulous:)

some here :( says a segmentation fault in the terminal.)

[koleoptero]

Could someone post some info on how you made this to run? :confused:

[forrestcupp]

Pretty awesome. I'm going to try that out. I didn't know 2D could be that cool.

[conehead77]

i made it executable with
chmod 777 phun_beta_2_3_linux32
, then just run it with
./phun_beta_2_3_linux32

hope it works for you aswell :)

My terminal says:


Parsing autoexec.cfg...
Creating window...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Wouldn't have the slightest idea what that means.

It looks really fun (the YouTube video, that is), though.

[Havoc]

It plays on my Feisty machine.

[JurB]

Maybe you should post your problem here. (http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=482775)

[icechen1]

It says a segmentation fault probably because my computer dosen't have shader.oh well...

What is your graphics card?

[icechen1]

What is your graphics card?

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
here it is

[erginemr]

As far as I know, if:

glxinfo | grep GL_ARB_shader_objects
yields nothing, then it means you graphics card (or driver) does not support pixel shading.

Says nothing but http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-014257.htm
says it is supported...

[meho_r]

Problem with shader here too. Ati Radeon X1650 Pro and Ubuntu Restricted Graphic Card Driver, not one from Ati. Do I have to install Ati's driver to get shader support?

You should check your xorg.conf file:

less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Look for the section:

Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440]"
Driver "nvidia"
# Option "MetaModes" "1024x768"
EndSection
If your driver says "ati" then you are using the open source version. On the other hand, if it says "fglrx" then you are already using the binary 3-D version.

Are you able to use Compiz (desktop effects)?

And what is the output of "glxinfo | grep direct"?

I am using Compiz right now.
The driver is ''intel''
output is direct rendering:Yes

[JurB]

Did you check the necessary libraries as instructed in the README? (boost_filesystem, SDL, SDL_image and GLEW).

Weird, all i have to do is make it executable and double-click to run.

Great phun btw!

Yes, it is fglrx. Generally, 3D works with other apps. But Phun still asks for "shaders". However, I tried it on Win and it is really cool :)

[meho_r]

Sorry, double post :(

[pythonusr]

Bump here... I get the same segmentation fault. My card doesn't support pixel shading, but I added "App.shaders=false;" to autoexec.cfg and it still doesn't run.

Any help?

The newest version 2.51 beta works now by uncommenting that!

[forrestcupp]

I wish I could have two mice. Sometimes it's hard to manipulate things one-handed.

[gletob]

has anyone tried turning of desktop effect in the appearance menu
that fixed it for me

I get this also.. Tried pointing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the phun directory as suggested, tried setting 'Resources.shaders = false;' in autoexec.cfg, made sure I had a whole bunch of SDL libs installed (when running without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH)..

Any ideas?

Interesting.

Im getting a segfault as well.
32bit Version on 32bit Ubuntu on a Thinkpad with Intel integrated graphics with working 3D.

I was really waiting for a program like this, hopefully it will work soon.

[schmolch]

On my Desktop with the same 32bit Ubuntu but nvidia cards it works, so i guess its a video-card issue.
