What was done
A fan reconstruction of Rollerbot: A Time Journey (2000) for Android and Linux. The project implements a new engine, requiring original game files to run. It supports dual-screen layouts on the AYN Thor and includes automated emulator testing.
Rollerbot: A Time Journey is a fan reconstruction of the 2000 3D Rad engine title. The project provides a native port for Linux (via Flatpak) and Android, specifically targeting the AYN Thor handheld. The repository contains original code only and does not include game files, art, or decompiled code. Users must provide their own game disc or files, which the launcher imports using unshield to extract InstallShield cabinet data. The reconstruction features widescreen support, persistent save data, and a dual-screen menu system for the AYN Thor. Development involved collaboration with Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5, as documented in commit logs. Current status is reported at approximately 85% completion, with all 14 levels functional. Android emulator smoke tests pass, though verification on physical AYN Thor hardware remains pending. Future work includes device-specific testing and full playthroughs of every level. The project is built using CMake and SDL2, with Android builds managed via Gradle. Source
