Oh god.. That would be something for the dickwad-type of user. They would script automatic penis drawing ants or atom bombs. First I have to implement a version 1 ;) Then I'll see how dynamic objects beside drawing could work.

I'm still working on this ;) Since client-server communication and the reliability of the server, drawing lines, a rudimentary cache for those graphic tiles and pthreads with data sharing + mutexing have been tested/evaluated, I started a complete clean and nicely structured rewrite in...

done ;) . Server seems to be reliable. I bombed it with multiple clients (local here) that send as many messages as they could (thousands per second, each of 16kb). And no client missed an acknowledge response.

This is what the server does now if somebody is interested in details. It waits for a client. Then receives a 8x8-grayscale tile that is encoded like this: type of message + sequence number of tile + tile position x + tile position y + tile size x + tile size y + array of pixels. As you can...

Its tricky to fiddle with bitfields in c. So i just use unsigned chars. If a grayscale tile consists only of black&white pixels, it will compress just as good as a bitfield (i guess) because only 0 and 255 are used. Support for tiles with colors is planned but is not used for now. Only if the...

Well how many 128x128px grayscale or black&white tiles lzw-compressed can you store in 1gb ram for example? ;) I think that is biiig enough. If there are more tiles, the oldest ones may be purged or so.. Edit: Short calculation. 1GB ram on the server should hold tiles for a 32768px*32768px...

Current status Client: - Drawing on one sdl screen surface with 1px pen possible. (Featuring super awesome bresenham lines between mouse moves). Yup, thats all for now. First I want to implement communication. - Bombs the server with random grayscale tiles with various sizes. - Also...

oh, i meant prepre-alpha. At the moment, i'm figuring out sockets and an appropriate "protocol" or message format for the server. 5 minutes ago, I was able to send a 64x64 grayscale tile to a dummy server that puts it out to console. Tiny steps... Next things are threading things on the...

I am figuring out right now a concept for this. Server push or client pull... Wanted to split into 64x64-tiles that are synchronized with the server. Because everything is 1bit black&white, compression is effective. I planned to use lzw for this. Not used (white) tiles do not need to be...

flockdraw, interesting ;) . Do you mean with scale the size of the drawing area or the number of simultaneous users? To get around, I think clickable links that lead to positions (directly on the wall) and bookmarks (client side) should work well. Maybe some users gather interesting spots and...

Hello, So now that a competition is open, I want to present my idea here. Maybe some of you have interesting ideas that I may take into account. My entry will be named "Whitespace". It is kind of a drawing program, but only black and white and with endless space to draw. Really really...

Thanks, that was quick ;) . I will try it tomorrow.

Hey, awesome ;) Which files, settings, paths etc are exactly needed to run the ogre examples? Can someone zip everything into one file so that I can just run the example browser executable?

Some ideas: - Give the background some variation/mood (like this this). - Let the bassdrums flash some colors - A simple race-mode where the controls are more like f-zero. Goal is to stay on track, (hmm, no mines or capsules?) - heftier corners and moar speed for that race-mode Minor thing...

I can confirm that. Audio only. But I have good news: The youtube-plugin (and others, Grooveshark, Tagesschau, Gametrailers for example) work, ok, the videoplugins are audio only until this bug is fixed. Yay! A reason to ditch that buggy Minitube. The graphical interface feels more responsive...

Ok, there are some misunderstandings. This (HotFix5-Zaxxon.pnd) can be used to install like a simple update and should be started from the desktop on the pandora. From the Updates and Firmware page: "This package is an update for the first release of the Pandora OS. To install it, simply...

You are right. Events occur in this order: With Mouse: LeftMouseButtonDown -> [several MouseMove's eventually] -> LeftMouseButtonUp -> MouseClicked at last position Touchscreen: FingerDown -> [Finger moves around while down] -> FingerUp -> TouchscreenClicked at last position...

low pressure as left click and high pressure as right click: Not good idea. How would you avoid a leftclick just before a rightclick while the pressure level rises? How to deal with spikes? Shift+Tap or FN+Tap to rightclick should work way better and is more user predictable. Its the Mac-style...

Sure. settings.json Put it into: SDcard/pandora/appdata/mypaint-22515/.mypaint/ It works great with pencil-like brushes (pencil, ballpen, pastel, charcoal, chalk) but also with the markers. Great control with the stylus, fat strokes with fingers. The right quarter in the pressure mapping...

Its not pressure. What is measured is actually the area of screen that is pressed down. More area -> bigger contact zone -> less electric resistance. I think that is cool. Try a small paintbrush with hard bristles on the screen: BIG blobs. Pandora stylus: Thin lines. You get the idea. On Wacoms...
