Circus Linux!
"Circus Linux!" is a clone of the Atari 2600 game
"Circus Atari," produced by Atari, Inc. (which is itself a clone of
an earlier arcade game named, simply "Circus").
In August 2024, "ICTylor" ported "Circus Linux!" to
Emscripten, allowing it
to be played within web browsers via WebAssembly
(e.g., FireFox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge)!
The port is available at
https://github.com/ICTylor/circuslinux
under the same GPL v2 license as the original game.
(I hope to some day roll the changes into the "upstream" codebase! -bill 2024-09-15)
Notes from ICTylor (2024-08-16):
-
The code is partially ported via LLM, and not very clean, but it should be more or less playable.
-
I noticed that the Enter Initials text is rendered probably incorrectly (color wrongly interpreted as alpha?), but it seems to be the same in the original version I think, so perhaps it is not a bug.
-
There might be other issues with the port (I think sound requires a click in the background of the page the first time?, there is no way to write initials in phones, and options / highscores are not saved), although I probably won't have time to take a look at them.
(I may eventually serve the game from newbreedsoftware.com, as well -bill 2024-09-15)
