Four files had drifted behind upstream. All four are preprocessor hardening, and the vendored copies were the older, looser spellings: - features_cpu.c and retro_timers.h tested WINAPI_FAMILY without first checking WINAPI_FAMILY_PHONE_APP was defined, and relied on && binding tighter than || rather than saying so with parentheses. - retro_environment.h translated MSVC's _M_IX86_FP into __SSE__ by comparing it unguarded, and did not cover _M_AMD64/_M_X64 or the clang-cl case where both spellings are already defined. - vfs_implementation.c tested __USE_LARGEFILE bare, which is a use-of-undefined-macro anywhere it is not set. rvorbis.c and audio_transfer.c are already identical to upstream: the chained-Ogg decoding and the first-link length fix went to RetroArch first, and this tree carries the same text. Nothing behaves differently here - none of the drifted lines is reached by the platforms this core builds for - so the check is that nothing moved: all five oracles hold and seven build targets are green.
Dinothawr
Dinothawr is a block pushing puzzle game on slippery surfaces. Our hero is a dinosaur whose friends are trapped in ice. Through puzzles it is your task to free the dinos from their ice prison.

Playing the game in RetroArch
The game itself is a shared library and needs a libretro frontend (e.g. RetroArch) to run. To play Dinothawr, use the right libretro core, and dinothawr.game as a game ROM. An example command line would be:
retroarch -L dinothawr_libretro_linux_x86_64.so dinothawr/dinothawr.game
Controls (gamepad)
Dinothawrs gamepad control are mapped as shown here.
Controls (keyboard)
On PC build of RetroArch, the default keyboard binds are:
- Z: Push
- X: Toggle menu
- S: Reset level
- Arrow keys: Move around
- Escape: Exit game
Platforms
Dinothawr supports a large number of platforms. We only provide bundled builds for Android. After release, we expect bundled builds to show up.
libretro/RetroArch
Dinothawr implements the libretro API, and uses e.g. RetroArch as a frontend. On Android, RetroArch is bundled, and is transparent to the user.
Building (Android)
Make sure latest SDKs and NDKs (r9) are installed.
Clone repo
git clone git://github.com/Themaister/Dinothawr.git
cd Dinothawr
export DINOTHAWR_TOP_FOLDER="$(pwd)"
Build native libretro library
cd android/eclipse/jni
ndk-build -j4
Build RetroArch native activity
git clone git://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git
cd RetroArch
cd android/native/jni
ndk-build -j4
Copy RetroArch libraries to dinothawr
cd ../libs
cp -r armeabi-v7a x86 mips "$DINOTHAWR_TOP_FOLDER/android/eclipse/libs/"
Copy Dinothawr assets
cd "$DINOTHAWR_TOP_FOLDER"
mkdir -p android/eclipse/assets
cp -r dinothawr/* android/eclipse/assets/
Build Java frontend
Open Eclipse and import project from android/eclipse. You should see Dinothawr assets in assets/ folder, and various libraries in libs/.
Try running the project on your device, and you should see Dinothawr.apk in android/eclipse/bin/.
Building (Linux, OSX, Windows)
Clone repo
git clone git://github.com/Themaister/Dinothawr.git
cd Dinothawr
Build libretro core
make -j4 # (on OSX, you might need make CC=clang CXX="clang++ -stdlib=libc++")
Run Dinothawr in RetroArch
retroarch -L dinothawr_libretro.so dinothawr/dinothawr.game
Customizing / Hacking
Dinothawr is fairly hackable. dinothawr.game is the game file itself. It is a simple XML file which points to all assets used by the game. Levels are organized in chapters. Levels themselves are created using the Tiled editor. If you want to try making your own levels, make sure you use the "plain XML" format for .tmx files and not the default zlib base64.
