Magical Broom Extreme Port
An existing game or its source code brought to another platform.
About
Magical Broom Extreme is a freeware horizontal shooter from Japan in which the player controls a witch flying on a broom. This fork replaces DirectX 8.1 with SDL2 and OpenGL(ES), so it can run on Linux and other operating systems and on non-x86 platforms such as x64 and arm.
How it differs from the original
It includes a reimplementation of the subset of the Luna library the game uses, built on SDL2 and OpenGL(ES) instead of DirectX 8.1. The original Windows binaries and Visual C++ 6.0 source project are also in the repository.
Getting started
The music and voice data are in optional separate datafiles.
History
The original readme says it was made between February and July 2002 as a remake of the author's earlier Magical Broom alpha and beta, which were school assignments.
