New gameplay video, with audio this time.
Creating this one was a bit*h. Basically, I can capture
whatever is going out the speakers with arecord
(comes with Alsa). I also have a way to capture video (see
my previous post). The problem is that capturing video the
way I'm doing (dumping raw frames to the disk) is a CPU
killer, so capturing audio while doing that is a no-no. What
I ended up doing is adding an option to the code to dump the
joypad state to standard output at every frame, and another
option to play it back from standard input. So, after
playing the game once while recording the joypad, I played
it back
while capturing
the video, and played it back again while capturing the audio. I
multiplexed both tracks with ffmpeg (I also changed
the frame dumping code to dump frames as yuv420p instead of
PPM, so I could encode the
video with ffmpeg directly).
Sounds get a bit out of sync near the end but it's hard to notice.
Retro sound effects were generated with DrPetter's very nice sfxr and filtered in Audacity. Music by "Oz" (real identity as of yet unknown).
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
