Head over Heels

The free and open source remake of the Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond’s game

The Story

This repository originated with version 1.0.1 by Jorge Rodríguez Santos aka helmantika which I found on http://www.headoverheels2.com/

Jorge Rodríguez Santos wrote :

In summer 2001 I decided to achieve the goal of programming a remake of Head over Heels. The first stage arrived two years later, when I published a beta version of it. That experience was a really extraordinary one; above all, because of all the support I received from so many people that, in one way or another, collaborated to make possible that the project saw finally the light. Although the game credits are a good proof of it, I would specifically mention in these pages the participation, as the graphic designer, of Davit Masiá. Without his work, I could never complete my own one.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t develop that beta into an stable version because, for almost three years, I went through personal circumstances I prefer to forget. However, once I was able to recover my free time and feeling, as I felt, that I had a thorn in my side for not having finished the «remake», I decided to return to the project. Ignacio Pérez Gil had released the 0.3 version of his isometric engine Isomot, and I took it as the basis from which I reconsidered the work. In 2007, with most of the code already finished, I decided to reopen the forum.

These last two years have been ones of hard work, but a very gratifying one for the same reason the first part was: the unconditional support from several persons that have always paid attention to the evolution of the game. I’d like to thank, from my heart, to Santiago Acha, Xavi Colomé, Paco Santoyo and Hendrik Bezuidenhout their support and the good moments they have given me.

I found it in the fall of 2016 and saw that the sources lack a (sup)port for Mac OS X at all, and in particular for OS X on PowerPC, therefore I began this project on GitHub which eventually evolved into what it is now.

However, till the end of 2023 this project went almost unnoticed. Neither Jorge nor anyone else from the original team was ever participated in any further development and never wrote a single line about what’s goin’ on or was done here. https://osgameclones.com/ was perhaps the only lone site on which a link to this repo ever appeared. In the spring of 2019, I’ve lost all my interest and almost forgot about this project for 4.5 years...

...Until the fall of 2023, when François @kiwifb Bissy’s contribution awakened my care. And then, finalmente, Jorge came to this project. At the end of 2023 we were sharing various stories via email. His new site features the article about this project

The Present & The Future

I reworked almost every piece of the Jorge’s code, dealed around many gotchas and added many new features like

animated movin’n‘binkin dudes in the menus
transitions between the user interface menus
the new black & white set of graphics
... with the speccy-like coloring of rooms
the room entry tunes
room miniatures
the camera optionally follows the active character
accelerated falling
support for various screen sizes not only 640 x 480
support for both the allegro 5 and allegro 4 libraries
the many easy-to-enable cheats :O

But yep, all of this is still quite “raw” for now and really needs some more love. Any playing, testing, issues found, spreading a word about this project somewhere, and other contributions are welcome. Especially patches, these are very much welcome ;)

Building

Since I’m currently using the GNU/Linux operating system, I’ll describe how to build and run this game on GNU/Linux with the “apt” package manager (Debian, Ubuntu and others)

For sure, you already know what the console aka terminal is, already did sudo apt-get install git for any deals with GitHub, and cloned the game’s repository somewhere on your local storage. Having a completely fresh system in which nothing was compiled before, to get all the things needed for building at once, just type

sudo apt-get install build-essential binutils make cmake autoconf automake libtool

And yep, don’t forget libx11-dev for the “allegro” library (#37 (comment))

sudo apt install libx11-dev

Then building the “Head over Heels” game on GNU/Linux is pretty easy with the build scripts I provided. All the used dependencies will be built too. The first script is

./linux-build.sh

It produces a binary that works through the allegro version 4 library (which is quite outdated). To get a binary running over the newer allegro version 5 (however, it is currently slower than over allegro4), use

./extras/linux-allegro5-build.sh

(install libgl1-mesa-dev package if you see the “X11 support currently requires OpenGL or OpenGL ES support” error and libxcursor-dev on “Looking for XcursorImageCreate in Xcursor - not found : X11 support requires Xcursor library”)

sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev libxcursor-dev

Okay, now you have a new and successful build of the game. Unedited linux-build.sh script installs the game inside your build directory at where-the-build-dir-is/_rootdir, thus type

cd _rootdir
bin/headoverheels

just after finishing a build to get the game running! 😲🥹😌

If something ’s wrong there

Don’t hear any music and sounds (with allegro 4)? Previously, I used padsp to deal with this... But then I installed some packages, namely libpulse-dev, libsndfile1-dev and libasound2-dev, and the subsequent full build played sounds and music just out of the box. So the solution is

sudo apt install -y libpulse-dev libsndfile1-dev libasound2-dev

before ./linux-build.sh

Any other gotchas? Feel free to write and ask 😚

headoverheels's Issues

Need to add auto~position of widgets, and thus remove all these x= y= from xml files

Examples~
<text id="yep" x="0" y="0">
<text id="movenorth" x="68" y="132">

They are used yet to manually position some lines of text, like the very first line of menus. And sure, it’s tooBorin’Thing® to live with it

There’s at least gui/Font::getCharWidth(), and symbols of game fonts are monospaced. So implementing auto-alignment is not “so-unreal” thing, I bet

Fix auto~building of floor

Don’t place floor under segments of wall, as example. And other glitches

Project’s wiki

It would be nice to place some content there

these three gotchas with swopping characters

Let the joined Head over Heels character stay below an elevator, wait when elevator lowers on top of character, then swap, swap, ... Magically, Head is on top of an elevator

Get funny BANG somehow related to FallKindOfActivity::assignAnchor~ when one of two characters in the same room is active and is under some door, then just swap ’em

When inactive character of two in the same room meets mortal item it turns into bubbles... Until swapping. And when active one dies too, that other would be lost forever. Maybe activate him in cases of meeting something mortal?

Heels cannot take the handbag

I don;t understand it. Head takes the horn without any trouble. But Heels cannot take the handbag, it just stays there like a normal object. Getting into contact with it go through https://github.com/dougmencken/HeadOverHeels/blob/master/src/behaviors/Special.cpp#L71 but no vanishing happens. It never goes into the Activity::Vanish switch.
Taking the horn with Heads also go through that line without any issues.

It seems the value of activity is not persistent between calls to Special::update() for the handbag.

create AnimatedPicture

It would be nice to have animated movin’ n ‘binkin dudes in menus of user interface…

Maybe using algif’s algif_load_animation?

Update translations

Some items in menus are in english even when I choose русский language

is there any reason to have +1 tile for the absence of floor in a room ?

moreover, the related image files are completely identical, isn’t one of both enough?

Distortion of walls in some rooms

Like north walls in penitentiary02.xml & penitentiary03.xml

Same with other sets of graphics

Get wiser camera

Move camera smoothly when swopping characters in the same big room

Now it is too “ can’t live with it ”, and leaves artifacts

Which artifacts? Such ones

the game bonuses re-appear after loading

after loading a saved game, all the bonuses~ and that very fish too~ are here as were not taken, ever

a saved game file contains the info about taken bonuses, but~ by some currently unknown reason(s)~ this info is lost on or just after loading a game

Firing donuts doesn't

When I fire donuts, the ball just stays in place and do not interact with anything, it does not have any effect at all.

The “enumeration of directed activities” model can’t describe complex movements with enough flexibility

When I am on the wall, and start moving the items, it goes down before it reach the conveyer belt

Inactive character may switch rooms

Look at this animation. Place Head on elevator, swap to Heels, and Head switches room by reaching ceiling... for active Heels

Take this saved game to quickly test it yourself

save3.xml.zip

Heels screen cannot be seen in full

I am trying to test HOH again, but when I get to Heels 5 screen, I cannot see full room, so I do not know where heels is if it out of screen.

Hah, right to inviolability

Nothing happens when some free item like hunter robot touches active player. Player loses its life only when it initiates collision by itself

Instructions for installation on MacOS

Is the application available for installation on MacOS? If so, are there any instructions for how to install it?

If the app is in a finished state, should a link be added to the Wikipedia.org page?

(I'm struggling to understand the GitHub structure, so forgive me for these naïve questions 😊)

add animation for change of screens

Horizontal wiping and~or scrolling ( left to right, right to left ) at least

support many sizes of screen not just 640 x 480

The deauflt 640x480 window is too small, the minimum should be 800x600, even better 1024x769. In 16/9 monitors in fullsrceen everything is flat, since the original game is adapted to 3/4 monitors (TV). It would be useful to make the output screen adjustable.

need compatibility for OS X

HeadOverHeels remake is not yet compatible with OS X

_update_° it compiles now but still has some problems

Move another character to the door and be surprised

Well to unstuck now just switch characters

In original speccy version I can’t move it thru the door at all

Gotchas of video menu

I begin with such thing as Need To Tap ESCAPE Twice when you enter submenu “Choose set of graphics”, and then wish to return to main menu

Then yep, settings of “video” menu are ephemeral, id est not serialized, not saved to file, and not read from that file

Another gotcha is that “free items” don’t update their graphics after loading it once. To see it— begin a game, exit it, change set of graphics, begin another game, enjoy the mix

if there’s no background picture, don’t crash please

I used the same machine and OS as time ago with GCC 13, now the program crashes when starts, i compiled the program using the script linux-build.sh as other times.

Charlie the Dalek doesn’t drive the character above it

I have now tried to move head or heels on the head of a

n item to the other site, but when i move the item, head or heels falls of it. It is in the marketplace

Taking an item out of the handbag make the game crash with SIGABRT (Linux)

So, now that I have the handbag I want to use it to get to the next room. But taking the item out of the bag crash the game.

floor drawing leaves garbage

GameManager looks too oversized, how about splitting it

... and maybe it even smokes 😉

add the redefinable key to restart the current room whenever the player wants it

Some “ magic ” combo of keys would be okay, option & shift & R is yet free

Very useful for testing, by the way

And having that, inviolability may be granted even with a mortal floor

Raspberry Pi: Keyboard recognized in Menu but not in Game

Describe the bug
On a Raspberry Pi the binary can be started and shows up the menu. In the menu navigation works with keyboard controls but after starting a new game the keyboard events are no longer recognized.

Allegro Lib
Tested with 4.4.3.1 (bundled with this repo) as well as with 4.4.2.1 from Raspi OS Buster.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Build this repo on Raspberry Pi
Start headoverheels, navigate to new game
Let game start
Notice that no keyboard presses are recognized

Expected behavior
Keyboard should be usable in game.

Testsystem

OS: Raspi OS Buster (Debian 10)
Generic wired USB keyboard attached
Reproducable on Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi 4

Additional context

Running from a full desktop on the Pi (lxde) or with a minimal xinit session does not make a difference
Also posted some additional info on the RetroPie forum: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/33861/head-over-heels-from-2003-would-it-work-on-retropie/13?_=1678903291603
However: On a Desktop X11 System (Debian 11, x64, Bullseye with allegro lib from repo 4.4.3.1 or bundled with this repo) the game is fully playable.

PS: Thanks for reviving this classic game and gem.

chat about old and new segmentation faults, and other stuff (:

The game now always ends in segmentation faults

gotchas within the blacktooth33 and blacktooth34 rooms

When you fall from the room above, you loose al your life for falling down , as the enemy always go the same route to get to you, you can not do anything to escape the enemy

've you ever tried to valgrind ?

here's how to

valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes bin/headoverheels

You can read the next posts on what I found.

Hope someone can help.
