Hurrican 2D Platformer on i.MX6 Sabrelite

Hurrican is a retro/16-bit styled 2D platformer that I was able to build from source on an i.MX6 Sabrelite board with essentially zero effort, as it has already been ported to SDL 1.2 and GLES2.

Some background info may be of interest on the forum posting at Phoronix. Apparently Hurrican was entirely a Windoze game ported to Linux-SDL-GL by pickle who is pretty active on the Open Pandora Pyra community, which I have been looking at quite a bit lately to research games and GL stuff to try out on the i.MX6 board.

This one builds and runs "out of the box" as they say on my system, with great sound music, keyboard control and no obvious glitches.

Repository Root: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/hurrican/code

sdl1.2 is installed from the distribution and apparently with GLES2 target enabled ...

apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libmodplug-dev
cd hurrican-code/Hurrican/src/
make TARGET=linux_GL2  # this will link with -lGLESv2

I should get a screenshot of the thing running but even better is gratuitous nerdy console output showing all the startup logging gotta love it ...
