    Panorama

    If anybody has anything they are working on that isn't *just* for the Pandora (or completely Pandora-unrelated), feel free to contact me. I love development in general, it's a great hobby to have, so if you're doing something interesting, sign me up. If you want to mod Panorama - the source...

    Panorama

    I've pretty much left the Pandora project (you'll see that I haven't posted for a few months). So this project should be seen as being dead.

    Qt 4.x as a game engine

    The default libqt4-x11 package in Ångström is compiled with ES support. But then again, someone might have chosen a different Qt version when baking the image (that has happened a lot lately...), so yeah. Also: Qt makes your GL code portable automatically. So if you follow the ES-2.0 spec...

    Qt 4.x as a game engine

    Using the pattern above, I would have an Updatable object whose update method only contained a call to "QCoreApplication::processEvents();". And then I'd just never call "QApplication::exec()". I like being in control of the whole program flow, and I wouldn't surrender it to Qt.

    Qt 4.x as a game engine

    My name is difficult to spell, isn't it! :D Anyways, I've done a lot of research related to writing games in a reactive style (y'know, the model where game objects subscribe to reactive events and produce mapped updates - extremely efficient because there's no need to call huge amounts of...

    Pandora Apps issues

    Might be an idea for me to continue working on The Box after all, seeing as Pandora Apps has been frozen in time again.

    What's The Best Linux Distro To Use?

    You're used to it because you haven't ever seen anything else. When you go from a TTY or Plymouth into booting X, the screen goes dark for a few seconds before GDM/KDM/whatever shows up. This *seems* harmless, but what's actually happening is that the graphics memory of your graphics card is...

    Qt 4.x as a game engine

    I wouldn't recommend doing this. Why? Because: Say that your app starts lagging a little, so that every frame takes slightly more than 50 ms to render (or less depending on your wanted FPS) for a short period of time. This means that your QTimer will continue to send out an update event via a...

    Qt 4.x as a game engine

    What or who is "OpenGlide"? :D Seriously though; making games in Qt is soo easy, I only wish that it'd support more of a free-type scene graph.

    Launch Url From Launcher?

    What's wrong with xdg-open? Doesn't it work with the Pandora? (exo-open is XFCE specific while xdg-open is desktop-environment agnostic)

    Bittorent distribution

    Haven't read whole thread... but why use something as inefficient as torrent for this? Heck, something like Git would be a better (more efficient and stable and sustainable) alternative. Edit: then there doesn't have to be an 'officially' sanctioned distribution; there would be one central...

    Don't use custom text boxes

    We're not overriding anything (as indicated by the fact that the browser style sheet is allowed to bleed through) so !important isn't needed. And the use of hexadecimal colors is actually discouraged, now that CSS 3 has alpha color components which makes #000 or #000000 ambiguous. I always use...

    Don't use custom text boxes

    Err guys another alternative would be to simply make the text inside of the text fields black... Aka: .input_text { color: black; } I think that two kinds of web design are acceptable: You use the browser theme and don't do any theming on your own, à la Craigslist or something...

    Why Are So Many Selling Their Pandora On Ebay

    This is more worrying than one might expect. Statistics for other devices have shown that direct resells grow exponentially with time[citation needed], and if we've already reached 1%...

    What's The Best Linux Distro To Use?

    But you don't need TTY1 for unencrypting stuff. You could as easily use TTY2 for that. But starting X on TTY7 leads to lots of flicker, while starting it on TTY1 leads to 0 flicker.

    GP32 firmware related stuff should go to gp32x

    I've written programming tutorials before, but I'm not the kind of guy who starts off with "Let's write 'Hello, World!' to the terminal!" and goes on with "Let's draw a triangle!", because I don't think you learn much from that. (I get questions like: "OK, so what's the command for printing...
