Stunts/4D sports driving was the racing game of my youth, I still hum the music of the main menu every now and then. Used to spend hours designing tracks that would make my car fly of into the air in the most spectacular ways.

So I just found this webpage http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbulb.html It's about rendering Mandelbrot's in 3D, It makes for a quiet interesting read. Some of the pictures are really nice too :)

Doesn't that means that as long as the purpose is not directly or indirectly commercial, it's legal? And wouldn't that mean that a friend, to whom you lent a CD (as an example) is completely within his rights when creating a copy, as long as he didn't have any intentions of gaining a commercial...

Tested it on my compaq mini (N270 1.66ghz) running at 800mhz. Minimum: 1% Average: around 6-7% Max: 16% *Edit* I did encounter something somewhat strange when checking this in windows, if you start the game, then causes it to loose focus, it wont do to just refocus the window (ie click on it)...

The camera needs (in my opinion) to be more sort of fixed to the craft, while i like the effect of the camera lagging behind when flying over small hills and such, but when flying to and from higher ground the craft disappears out of sight. Perhaps if the camera height was sort of fixed to the...

I just had this awesome vision in my head where you could play this game in multiplayer and there was loads of fun with dogfights. Just a question out of curiosity, is it going to be a free flight game, or more of the hoovercraft persuasion? Really interesting project either way. *edit* ah i...

In recent years I have experienced this speedup of time, this last year however whent by somewhat slower than the year before that. Atleast that is the conclusion I came to when thinking about it the other day, and I credit this to all the wait for the pandora. In a sense I was sort of happy...

Altough my usage will probably include most of the options at one time or another, my main interests in the Pandora is developing for it, on it, homebrew games and internet usage on the go.

I just want to point out that the wireless mice that boast with only drawing X mA only refer to the mouse itself, the adapter however might draw the full 5v 500mA, which means 2.5W. Now, doing some calculations based on some guesswork and the numbers mweston specified, we have a ~4000mAh battery...

Aethix: Im guessing that SDL will be fixed in time for release, or if it isn't it probably will be fixed quiet soon after release. So in SDL all the buttons (including D-Pad,ABXY and L/R) are keyboard buttons you just have to remap them, if need be. The analog nubs are a different story, either...

I'm guessing that he is asking if they are keyboard or joystick key preses. Now that I think about it, how do you get the values from the analog controls, are they separate joysticks?

This sounds like an awesome idea except the part about cybernetic parts wearing out, I never liked that concept in a game, to often it breaks the flow. Maybe repairing cybernetic parts could be more expensive (unless you have some sort of nano-bots doing the repairs for you). Or it could have...

I use both XP and ubuntu on my desktop, XP for leisure and Ubuntu for devving (although I prefer the win version of C::B for some reason). My lappy runs ubuntu most of the time.

I am so looking forward to play this game when you get it ready, it looks truly great!

I'm still working on my game engine Lumina, which I hope to create a game with :P

This is looking like it could turn out to be a very nice game, and I must say I like your art style.

I don't see why people see different keyboard layouts as a problem for software developers. As far as I know SDL at least uses the Os keyboard layout, so as long as you have the correct layout selected, there should not be any problem. I have used American and Brazilian keyboards (which are...

Names Christian, lives in Sweden, have a 2x and ordered and then reordered the Pandora

It depends on what kind of application you intend to make. Generally using 16bpp is faster, although I don't know how much speed you gain compared to 32bpp. If you are going to make a simple application or game that don't use that much fading and such i would go with 16bpp. I have to say tough...

@rokdcasbah I guess it's more of an level indicator than an warning (with the exception of the flashing red). It's not in the GUI that you are going to need the warning of a low battery the most (but it is nice to have one there as well), it's when you are playing games you might want a warning...
