A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

Asteroids v. 2.40 (9/9/2026, Martin Iturbide)	Readme/What's new	Game-Asteroid ============== Asteroids game clone for OS/2. Black & White and linear shapes. LICENSE ======== GNU GPL V2 BUILD (Open Watcom 1.9, OS/2) ============================= Set `WATCOM` in `compile.cmd` to the Open Watcom installation, then: compile.cmd ; or: compile.cmd [clean\|app\|fontdll\|help] This runs `wmake -h` on `makefile.wat` and produces, under `bin-wat\`: ASTEROID.EXE PM application (ASTEROID.RC bound at link time) ASTEROID.DLL 16-bit font module for GpiLoadFonts(hab, "ASTEROID") ASTEROID.HLP IPF help (from help\ASTEROID.IPF) Source layout: `src\` holds the main app, `src\font\` the font module (ASM stub + DEF + FAT fonts), `help\` the IPF sources, `doc\` the original docs, `legacy\` the untouched original tree. RELEASE 2.40 ============ Changes in the OS/2 port release 2.40 (see `doc\Changelog.TXT`): - No startup popup; the game opens directly into the game window. - The "@1993 TODD CROWE" line is gone from the game window. - The window always starts at a 1024x768 client, centered on screen. - The title bar reads "ASTEROID" (no version). - Help - About reports version 2.40. - Clean compile with no warnings under Open Watcom. FONT MODULE =========== GpiLoadFonts() in ASTEROID.C looks up the module's private fonts. The DLL must carry a FONTDIRECTORY (resource type 6, name 1) plus one resource per face whose NAME equals the FONTDIR index. The faces are stored as type 1000, names 100 (small.fnt) and 200 (large.fnt). Open Watcom's wrc cannot compile these from RC `FONT` statements (it writes a Windows FontInfo header into the payload and rejects .fnt input), so the binary resource file is generated instead: python fontdll_res.py src\font\SMALL.FNT src\font\LARGE.FNT src\font\ASTEROID.RES (fontdll_res.py lives in the claude-os2-toolkit workspace; the checked-in src\font\ASTEROID.RES is up to date.) `makefile.wat` then binds that .RES into `ASTEROID.DLL` with `wrc -bt=os2 [..] src\font\ASTEROID.RES bin-wat\ASTEROID.DLL`.
