The neutral/default locale C makes the game unable to run.

Hi there,

The mysticmine.com website seems to be redirecting to this GitHub repo, so the links in the README saying that one can find more info and buy the game on mysticmine.com should probably be removed.

The mine car sprite is not always rendered correctly.

The following image shows an example:

Could you provide an icon for the game?
I just packaged it for ArchLinux and the package adds a desktop file so that the game appears in the application menu, but it has no icon so it’s a bit ugly.

Also, how would you describe the game? I’ve put «A one-button multiplayer mining cart game», but I can still change it.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mysticmine-git/

Buttons from my joystick work fine ingame and in the menu, but I cannot use my joystick stick or cross to chose between the menu options :-/

Not sure if this is a bug or something which was not implemented.

Hello,

I try to compile and run but:

1. $ make rm -f monorail/ai.c monorail/ai.so rm -rf monorail/data running build_ext pyrexc monorail/ai.pyx --> monorail/ai.c /home/keddie/src/MysticMine/monorail/ai.pyx:22:24: Warning: 'not None' will become the default in a future version of Pyrex.

What I can do with this? It is clear for me that there is error in linking, but how can i fixed it?

Hi,

I can't run on Linux, even though make seems to run ok.

I'm on ArchLinux. Perhaps this has something to do with the python2/python=python3 chaos.

According to https://pypi.org/project/Pyrex/ and https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support looks like pyrex can not be found on pypi anymore.

Workaround using wget

Copy/paste in your terminal.

cd /tmp && \
    wget "https://www.csse.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/Pyrex-0.9.9.tar.gz" && \
    tar xvpf Pyrex-0.9.9.tar.gz
    git clone https://github.com/dewitters/MysticMine.git && \
    cd MysticMine && \
    virtualenv -p 2.7 venv && \
    source ./venv/bin/activate && \
    python -m pip install pygame numpy && \
    pushd ../Pyrex-0.9.9 && \
    python setup.py build && \
    python setup.py install && \
    popd && \
    make && \
    ./MysticMine

Step by step description:

• go to /tmp directory
• download Pyrex-0.9.9.tar.gz
• extract Pyrex-0.9.9.tar.gz
• clone MysticMine
• go to /tmp/MysticMine directory
• create virtual environment for python2.7
• activate virtual environment
• install pygame and numpy
• go to /tmp/Pyrex directory
• build Pyrex
• install Pyrex in virtual environment
• go to /tmp/MysticMine directory
• launching game according to README.md

Warning: /tmp gets cleaned up after system shutdown/reboot, copy /tmp/MysticMine to /opt or ~/Games or somewhere else.

As stated in the README, the original music and sound effects of Mystic Mine can't be redistributed under a free license. I think the libre games aficionados (for example from FreeGameDev) can help find some nice freely-licensed musics and sounds, but for this we'd need a listing of the needed assets. This post can be edited later on to contain the full list of assets and whether they have found a replacement yet.

Edit: Actually the sound and music files are still shown in the repo, but have been replaced by a silent placeholder. They are listed here: https://github.com/koonsolo/MysticMine/blob/master/data/800x600/resources.cfg

Sometimes, when carts collide their graphics are drawn in wrong order:

It would be better if artwork used the CC0 1.0 Universal waiver, rather than the MIT license which is a software license.

The upsides of it are:

• it's a license suitable for everything, including artwork and databases,
• it is compatible with all GPL versions (like MIT).

If CC0 is not possible for you, you can also choose CC BY 4.0 which has similar upsides to CC0.
