How to install The Little Crane That Could

[Thunderbolt044]

Hello Everyone,

I recently got a Raspberry Pi and I have been having trouble installing The Little Crane That Could. I know where to get the files I just don't know how to install them. Can I get some help?

Hi.

A quick google search tells me this is a game that can be download for android , iOS or Stream.

Android & iOS apps will not run on the pi end of story.

and if you look at the stream Linux version it requires a pc with a corei5 processor as a minimum and 4GB of ram so that's never going to run on the pi either.

A Pi version can be obtained from link below - Click on the "Pi Store Download" button. It's a .tar.gz file ...

I spotted a "doesn't work on Stretch" comment here ...

I Did say I did a quick google search and that site ( https://stolk.org/tlctc/) was not on page one when I searched "the little crane that could"

I tied installing the version for the pi but it does not seem to work either.

Starting game from /home/pi/littlecrane-rpi

tested on jessie with GUI.

installed like this :-

with littlecrane-rpi.tar.gz in /home/pi

Code: Select all

tar xvzf littlecrane-rpi.tar.gz

un-packs in to /home/pi/littlecrane-rpi

Code: Select all

cd  /home/pi/littlecrane-rpi
chmod +x startlittlecrane.sh
./startlittlecrane.sh

as the original build was on Jan 23 2013 at 13:10:56 the problem may be OS or hardware related.

So you think the game is just too outdated to run?

[pcmanbob]

It may be the case as from the date displayed it was made when raspbian wheezy was the current operating system and the pi B or B+ were the current pi's.

its already been stated it does not work on raspbian stretch and my attempt to run it on jessie met with similar failure.

I suppose you could get a pi B or B+ and download wheezy and try running it that way if you really wanted to try the game but there are no guarantees it will run.

This works on my Pi3 using Raspbian Stretch (with OpenGL driver off)

Code: Select all

cd ~
wget https://stolk.org/tlctc/littlecrane-rpi.tar.gz
tar xvzf littlecrane-rpi.tar.gz
cd ~/littlecrane-rpi
chmod +x startlittlecrane.sh

To run

Code: Select all

cd ~/littlecrane-rpi
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/minecraft-pi/lib/brcm ./startlittlecrane.sh
