'''Legend of Tux version 0.4 released''' on November 8, 2009!
* New Game '''[https://ldsmith.games/details/easter-egg-crash Easter Egg Crash]'''


Windows and Linux binaries loaded to [http://www.legendoftux.com www.legendoftux.com].
- In this puzzle game, colored eggs (red, green, yellow blue) fall in pairs. You must crash the easter eggs using gems of the same color. Crash the number of eggs specified in the goals to move to the next level.


== Concept ==

-->


I started development on the Legend of Tux a in August 2009. I wanted to create a game that combined the gameplay of a Mega Man game and the original Legend of Zelda.  I had developed a Zelda clone using updated graphics in 2003, using ClanLib libraries.  In 2006 I created an engine for a tux Zelda style game using SDL, but it wasn't very good.  I didn't have much time to devote to it, since I was working on a master's degree in industrial engineering outside of my full time job. 
== Tools ==


The controls are simple. Use the arrow keys (or a,s,d,w) to move and spacebar to attack. Press f to throw your hat boomerang, which will stun enemies.  Hold spacebar to charge your sword to shoot it. Collect a power orb to get a 3x attack power boost against enemies of that color. Defeat all enemies in a room to move to the next room. Clear all 16 rooms to complete a level.  Finish all eight levels to win the game.

* [[Unity Build Tool]] - Update and build multiple Unity projects at once.  Upload to game hosting sites and more.
* [[Timelapse Maker]] - Make timelapse video from video clips
* [[GitHub Repo Clone]] - Clones all of a GitHub user's public and private repos, including accounts that have 100+ repos.


Gameplay is completely linear.  Move one room to the next until you reach the boss room and defeat the boss.  The one aspect that I hate the most about Zelda style games is trying to determine where to go next.
== Links ==


The Legend of Tux is free software.  The source code is available on SourceForge.  I am attempting to document the entire software development process.

*Tried running Legend of Tux on a Windows XP system, but the game screen ran slowly;  The Task Manager reported 98 to 99% CPU usage. Maybe the problem is because I compiled under Vista, but my Vista is running 32 bit. On the other hand, there was barely any loading time to get to the title screen;  On my Windows Vista machine, the CPU usage was about 50% on the title screen, and varied between 18% to 27% on the game loop screens;  Increasing the TICK_INTERVAL from 33 to 100 reduced the CPU usage on the game loop screen to between 6% and 11%, however it was only running at 10 FPS;  I also found that I was missing SDL_Delay statements in my Title screen and Level Select screen;  Adding delays in those loops seemed to bring the overall CPU usage down to the 20-30% range on the Vista machine.
