Hey joyrider3774,

You've been an incredible ambassador for ZNAX over all these years. Communicating with you in this thread has been invaluable to me.
I continue to support your efforts and genuinely celebrate every new port you release.

It's truly incredible to see how far this little game has come, all the way from Pocket PCs to the Nintendo Switch.

Your version has now become more famous than my original ZNAX, and that makes me truly happy.

That Four Corners game looks really good!
Who knows, maybe its creator played ZNAX many years ago and got inspired.
Either way, they've developed the idea beautifully.

Out of curiosity, how many platforms have you ported your ZNAX version to so far, in total?

Yeah its really good, I asked the author and he said he was not inspired by any game, he made the initial game in the early 2000's in javascript, so you both may have had the same idea then

Thanks, thought I should post about them here to keep track of it

Out of curiosity, how many platforms have you ported your ZNAX version to so far, in total?

Honestly? i lost track of it let me try to list the ones i've done personally and backtrace a bit, but some of these are based on the same source code

1. Znax GP2X
2. Nokia N810
3. Znax windows version
4. Znax mac version
5. Znax linux version
6. Znax funkey / rg nano
7. Znax steamdeck
8. Znax anbernic RG35XX
9. Znax miyoo mini
10. Znax espboy
11. Znax pimoroni tufty2350
12. Znax pimoroni explorer
13. Znax vircon32 version
14. Znax microstudio / js / web version
15. Znax trimui smart pro
16. Znax trimui brick
17. Znax raspberry pi
18. Znax nintendo switch

those are the ones i did personally and could find back but some are just recompiles with minor changes, other people also ported my version to other devices like the pandora version or the portmaster version for all the different chinese emulation handhelds and i just noticed on github even a ps5 test version ( https://github.com/gen04177/Znax/releases )

Wow, thank you so much for sharing that incredible list!

I'm honestly blown away by the range of platforms.
From the GP2X and Nintendo Switch all the way down to tiny devices like the ESPboy and Funkey.
It's absolutely mind-blowing to see ZNAX running on such diverse hardware!

You've basically made the game immortal.

I'm curious: which platform was the most difficult or unusual to get working properly?
Was there any that gave you particular headaches?

I forgot about the nintendo switch version, i added it to the list

i released source code also so people can keep on porting that version and some already did

Probably the very first gp2x version, gp2x made me learn about c/c++ and SDL 1 and i did not had much experiance with it then, its also the very 1st game and main game version i had written all other versions are basically ports of that initial gp2x version. Except for the nintendo switch version that was a complete rewrite starting from the beginning again in fuze for nintendo switch. The switch version had it's caveats as you could not import any assets so had to redo those from the beginning from a selection of assets availble in that program for nintendo switch but all others were basically either adjusting sdl1 code (once) to sdl2 and / or adapting sound or graphics to different resolutions or just simple recompiles with different compilers and thats much less problematic than creating the initial version

Thank you for everything, my friend. It's been an absolute joy talking with you and seeing ZNAX's journey through your eyes.
I'll be following your future ports with a huge smile.
Keep being awesome.
