Description

This is my Vita port of Rocks'n'Diamonds.

Rocks'n'Diamonds is a Boulderdash type game by Holger Schemel with many unique features, such as the ability to play remade levels from Boulderdash, Emerald Mine and Supaplex and many more levels.

Thanks

Thanks to my supporters on Patreon: Andyways, CountDuckula, and Sean Ritzo.

Thanks to Holger Schemel for making a great and portable game.

Installation

  • install the vpk

  • extract contents of data.zip and copy them to your Vita. You should have a folder ux0:/data/rocksndiamonds with the files in it.

Controls

Dpad = move
Cross = primary button (use with direction to trigger the snap action that clears adjacent spaces from dirt, also functions as ok in menu)
Circle = secondary button (drop dynamite)
Select = quit (escape key, also cancels requesters)
Start = pause (space key)

Notes

  • To load new level sets, go to the level number select in the menu, and press x. A new screen should open that shows a few levels. Go to the parent dir and into the folder Classic Games. There are many more levels already included in that folder.

  • To answer the OK/Cancel dialogs in the game, press select to cancel (select is escape), or x for OK.

  • You can install new level sets by copying them into ux0:/data/rocksndiamonds/levels . See the official manual: https://www.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds/manual/manual.html#

  • If you mess up some options and want to reset to default, you can delete the folder ‘ux0:/data/rocksndiamonds/userdata’

  • The level editor is currently not usable on Vita because the mouse pointer is not visible

Compilation

  • clone the repository, then
cd rocksndiamonds
make vita
