Some games from Win8 DP Build 8102
Here some of game apps taken from Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102.
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=6 ... DAF%212450 - Labyrinth
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=6 ... DAF%212449 - Zero Gravity
To play it, you need a Visual Studio to deploy and run those apps and probably you need some recoding before you do this.
BTW, I'm not a programmer or developer, I got this when I extracted 8102's install.wim months ago to find cool music from "Labyrinth".

Wow, I forgot about Labyrinth! I loved that game! While I was playing it I got very good news (personal news) which makes this a memory for me. Thank you for both reasons!

To start, they need to packed up using makeappx, signed, and installed. Unfortunately, they won't run without changes as the APIs changed quite a bit between the developer preview, consumer preview, and RTM.computebrute wrote:How would you play these?
They will start after some manifest changes, even on Windows 10. Here's Labyrinth:
Labyrinth starts but just sits there.
Zero Gravity:
I have no knowledge of WinJS so I can't fix Labyrinth.
EDIT: Zero Gravity fixed with Windows 8 RTM APIs and works on Windows 10:
I played it up to level 11 under a debugger and so far no exceptions. Video, sound, and all animations appear to work. For reference, the app was done in .NET and is completely XAML-based.

Goldfish, could you upload your fixed Zero Gravity package? I remember really liking the Developer Preview games back in the day and I would like it to play it again.

Re: Some games from Win8 DP Build 8102
Do you want just the APPX (with certificate) or the source? You will need Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2013 to compile as I put it together as a Windows 8.0 app. In both cases you'll also need a developer license.Windows OS wrote:Goldfish, could you upload your fixed Zero Gravity package?

Plus, another question that I just thought of. Will Zero Gravity work on Windows RT? Since I'm pretty sure that the "Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration" process should also work in RT.

APPX only: https://mega.nz/#!CEExjaQK!y3TZXLhLPMyK ... UfdmTm8wskWindows OS wrote:Could you upload both?
Source (requires VS2012): https://mega.nz/#!3EVkWR5S!ae5ez71N8JqV ... T2d-wJmrBE
Compiling from source is the easiest if you already have VS 2012 or VS 2013 installed. If you take the APPX option, you will need to tweak the execution policy in PowerShell.
Yes, since it is compiled as AnyCPU. I have also tested myself on RT 8.1.Windows OS wrote: Plus, another question that I just thought of. Will Zero Gravity work on Windows RT? Since I'm pretty sure that the "Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration" process should also work in RT.
Sideloading and developer licenses work just as they do on Windows 8/8.1. You can manually install packages on RT, but I prefer the Visual Studio method and using the remote tools to test apps.
Here it is on my Surface 2 (with finger circle to prove it):
Animations flicker though.
Also found out that pressing the "S" key will save the state and will allow you to resume later by pressing the resume button.

Yes, but only the modified Zero Gravity. The original ones do not.betaluva wrote:So will these work on win10 rtm?

Re: Some games from Win8 DP Build 8102
Sorry for the bump, but I was just able to install Zero Gravity, and it's just as I remembered it back in 2011. Now let's see if we could get Labyrinth working...

Re: Some games from Win8 DP Build 8102
After 8 Years of inactivity, i actually have an unfinished modified version of labyrinth that works
But there are some problems:
Level picker doesn't work, and music overlaps.
But, some unused stuff were added.
Such as:
A wide tile that was in the game files and a "Did you Know?" thing when you multitask.

Hope this board gets active again because i love DP games and i wish they got more attention
