Thanks, I'm really flattered. You won't be disappointed with the music, Pat has done a great job and created a selection of tracks that sound like a cross between 'Mars attacks' and 'Beetle juice'. Just perfect in my opinion.

At some point I will definitely make a shmup, though an old skool style game not a bullet hell as I'm not a fan of of those (apart from maybe Ikaruga). I'm actually doing a version with different coloured blood (though not necessarily green.) Thanks very much, all the graphics were drawn in...

Thanks for replies, I'd just like to clarify something, this game contains blood, just in case I didn't mention it. :D

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce the imminent arrival of my new game 'Space Varments' which is due to be released by this coming weekend. It's a shooting game with the aim of reducing as many aliens as possible to bloody gibs all in name of getting a higher score. Although this was...

I've noticed it as well, mine jumps occasionally on the x axis. Quiest also mentioned it though I think his was affected on both the x and y axis.

My favorite racers on old systems are: PS1 Wipeout 2097 Ridge Racer Rage Racer Ridge Racer type 4 Total Drivin (not very well known but one of the best) N64 Diddy Kong Racing (better than Mario Kart 64 imo) GBA Mario Kart Krazy Racers/Konami Wai Wai Racing F-Zero Climax (the best mode 7...

Felt it to, the whole house shook.

Probably best using ufenix as it uses a much more recent version of the runtime so should have less bugs, however it seems that though some operations are quicker in 0.92a others are faster in 0.84, this isn't because of the gp2x port as it's also true in windows. I tend to just test my games...

QUOTE And if you want to ask, as is natural, FOR THE LOVE OF ZEUS, WHY?!?, the answer is that I'm a geek, and I have my degree in mathematics, and this is my idea of *fun*. And I think the final game is fun, but too many people will be scared to try it. wink.gif Nothing wrong with that, we all...

Hi Puck. Just tested it and it also crashes on the F100. By the way did you get the pm I sent you last week regarding a crash in beta 6 being caused by setting the flags local variable to flags=16?

If you remove the splash screen png, it runs and runs without crashing. There's something about string concatenation and using a png splashscreen that's messing Fenix up. Maybe it overrides the memory used for strings and causes Fenix to break. I'd really appreciate some help on this one...

Thanks. I just printed on normal photo glossy paper but then once printed I glued it onto thin card. I used a small paint roller to make sure I had a nice even coat of glue. An easier alternative would be to use self adhesive photo paper.

One thing to be aware of when compiling for GP2X is to make sure you switch off debug mode, when I first started coding for 2x I had random crashes and that was the cause. It may not be the cause of your crashes but it isn't something that is well documented so you may not know about. If you...

Are you sure it isn't a problem with the launching script? Never had a problem with splash screens and the only time fenix has crashed like that is if there was an error in the launch script - eg. an incorrect filename. Remove the png completely and see if it works.

No I just got the idea after seeing the psp ones for sale on the net, I designed the gp2x ones completely from scratch. I will get the designs tidied up so it's easy to see how to construct them and then get them uploaded to the archive for anyone to make.

Yes, play_wav is really just for sound effects as you can have multiple sounds playing at the same time, you can only ever have one song playing at a time with play_song. Also the volume of songs and wavs can be adjusted independently of one another using set_wav_volume and set_song_volume.

:D Yes a very subtle hint. I've been very busy lately and have 4 games actively in the works and three of them nearly finished.

I've not noticed any extreme load time regarding music and wavs. You should really just use wavs for sound effects due to file size and ogg for music. Also you are just loading the sound/ music once and not each time you want to play them right? The way I do it and I'm sure most people do...

Hello. I'm not that familiar with using functions in fenix as I tend to just use processes so I don't know about their nuances, that said I had a quick look at your code and it is working but you need to remove the let_me_alone() and exit() from the main program.

Two more designs for you to see, one for the f100 and one for the f200. For anyone interested this is where I got the idea from - Suck UK
