    Release PNDTools

    Hmm seems like @PokeParadox server died, I will contact him about that ASAP (I should just get my own server anyway). The version iPrice uploaded is version 0.3.9, the most recent one is 0.7.0, so it's quite old (but it will probably work). I will try to find the time to package and upload the...

    Snowman "reloaded"

    You are misinterpreting my words. I am not saying all games need to be hard, I am just saying some games need and more importantly want to be hard, deal with it. Though as I have said before, I would like to see a "Free jumping" option, too, just to see how it would play out.

    sparrow3D - multi platform game engine

    @pmprog, It's basically one layer of abstraction. Now you don't have to hard-code buttons for each device any more and furthermore building a system to give the user the option to change the mapping during runtime should be MUCH easier. Generally speaking it gives you a lot more options to...

    Action button labels

    I already explained that a few posts back. It's not what I am used to and it's not what is used by many consoles (adding confusion by reversing the function of a button compared to these consoles, "B" in this case). It's not a huge deal, it just takes time getting used to. However for a new...

    Action button labels

    I agree, that would be desirable.

    Action button labels

    You are implying I am pro Greek, I am not, I don't like that idea. Actually I am not really for any of the options in the third poll, I am for adapting one of the well known layouts, like SEGA Genesis (Extended-Dreamcast / Extended-XBOX) or Extended-SNES. It's not an option in the poll, so I am...

    Action button labels

    The problem with the Pandora's layout is that it uses the same labels as established layouts, but in different positions. This leads to confusion with emulators and general navigation in apps. "A" as the standard "accept, proceed, confirm" button and "B" as "cancel, go back, deny" button is...

    Snowman "reloaded"

    I get that and, well, I am saying that you are not really adding something to the game by adding this difficulty setting. What you are adding is essentially a slippery slope. Think about a hint system in adventure games, a built in walkthrough in puzzle games - you cannot complete one part...

    Snowman "reloaded"

    I strongly disagree. Many games present you with a task and a reward for completing this task. Snowman is such a game. You are thrown in a hard level and you get a reward for completing this level, which is access to the next level, a congratulations screen at the end and a score you can...

    Snowman "reloaded"

    I don't mind a challenging game as long as it's not frustrating. I also hate the trend in modern games to make everything accessible to everyone, taking all the challenge out in the process. Snowman is very challenging, but also frustrating. Part of what made it frustrating to me was the...

    Snowman "reloaded"

    Nice, I like the movement much better now, great improvement! One bug I noticed: When pressing [select] in the Pause menu to exit, it gives you the option to cancel by pressing [start], which does not work. Also committing scores or getting any connection at all to the C4A server still is very...

    Action button labels: poll 2 bis

    Alright made changes according to @_wb_'s comments: Also changed the tone of dark blue since it was hard to see on black.

    Action button labels: poll 2 bis

    Thanks for the feedback guys, I adjusted the layout accordingly. (Can't do suit backgrounds even though I like the idea since there are only 4 suits and 6 buttons. I hope the chess pieces make up for it though). (Dynamic font size is something for a later version. Maybe the buttons even could...

    Action button labels: poll 2 bis

    Hey guys I have an idea let's just label the buttons like this and everybody will be happy. Right? Right...?

    Yeah I get that, it's not like I am taking this very seriously anyway at this point. But what can I say, I like to complain :P

    Action button labels: poll 2 bis

    Well with this one I don't like how the four "Non-Pandora Latin layouts" are put into one group. Two of those layouts are based on an existing controller-layout and somewhat common or known, while the remaining two are totally new ideas from this community. This is an important factor in my...
