I am interested in this idea, because I've wanted to play IF on an e-ink screen for years.
I'm looking into what it would take to make a KOReader plugin. |

Hi!
Any progress? I'd *love* to have Gargoyle on my PocketBook Era. I used to have Frotz on my Kobo Aura One (R.I.P.), which allowed me to play basic games, but Gargoyle offers so much more! Thanks for working on this! ![]() P.S.: The list of third-party software on my PocketBook Era incluides QT 5. Last edited by Biep; 06-16-2024 at 04:56 PM. Reason: Added P.S. |

News on a PocketBook port of Gargoyle
Last version of the SDK includes Qt (see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=361705), so now it should be possible to build Qt applications. (@Biep Qt5 libraries being installed on devices is not sufficient to build an application that depends on Qt5; It's only a requirement. In previous versions of the SDK, the build stuff for Qt apps was missing).
I thus decided to give up writing a pure "Inkview" front-end based and started to work on a mostly unchanged build of Gargoyle. Detailed instructions to cross-compile garglk dependencies and try to build garglk itself are available in gargoyle-pocketbook-port Github project. For dependencies it now looks good. But the built gargoyle contains hard-coded paths, the path to fonts and the path to interpreter. So at present time it fails to run any interpreter. Remarks

So great to see @orontee taking over this project. It was soon clear to me that without having previous experience with C/C++ development it was going to be a big project for me to even get started.
Maybe a separate thread to follow up with the progress on your Gargoyle for Pocketbook port would be good so people can see that there is clearly something on the works now? |

Thanks for working on it! Don't expect any coding from me, but I am willing to help test anything you want (if it won't brick my Era or erase my stuff ).

Compilation is almost good. I started the application and loaded a Z5 story. I am stuck after few screens since there's no onscreen keyboard.
Note that I tried to load a glorb file; Crash... More positive, note that thanks to Harfbuzz the text rendering is very nice compared to the console rendering I first achieved with Frotz (cf. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/at...6&d=1704664918). Given the Qt file chooser is really ugly, the screen isn't recognized with correct resolution and there's no onscreen keyboard, and I am not a Qt lover, I see no reason to keep using Qt. So I'll switch back porting gargoyle with my own UI based on Inkview SDK. Be patient! Last edited by orontee; 07-13-2024 at 07:19 AM. |

Thanks for the update and those first screenshots of Gargoyle in a Pocketbook! that seems like great progress. An UI using Inkview will surely look cleaner. Looking forward to the next update.

Is there any other group programming for the PocketBook? They might have valuable knowledge.
I only know of KOReader, but they are not too focused on PocketBook as opposed to some other brands. |
