I think Magnulus is joking! :lol:

Darse Billings leads a group which is working on Poker at the University of Alberta: Poker at Alberta. I don't know anything about their work, but there should be something useful there. I've been working on a 5-card draw "video poker" game, but that is like those slot-machine things and it...

I've just uploaded a game called Sheep Dash. This is a reaction timer game and I stole the idea from the BBC: the original Sheep Dash game. You can get my gp2x version from the archive. Screenshot: I hope it provides some amusement.

I don't know about the music.wav file, but after a HD failure trashed my Linux setup, I downloaded the "Official SDK" from: GP2X Wiki. I now have a working Windows GP2X development environment (including SDL) which doesn't double the speed of my sound files. Since getting that working, I've not...

You can get code::blocks for Linux (it's also available for Windows). Download code::blocks here

Just to point out that these features are available in 3.3.x and above (not sure about versions before that). The two flags have different names, but they do essentially the same thing: -fprofile-arcs -- for the initial compile -fbranch-probabilities -- to take account of the information...

Normally you'll have a script called "sdl-config", which is run inline. This script adds to the command line some necessary arguments, including some directory information. It's easier to do than to describe: g++ -O2 -o vidpok *.cpp `sdl-config --cflags --libs` -lSDL -lSDL_image -lSDL_mixer...

I make a lot of use of two sources for artwork. The first is Reiner's Tilesets. You should check his conditions but the last time I read them he wanted an acknowledgement in the credits. The second source I use is Ari Feldman's SpriteLib GPL. For music, I have used: Kevin MaLeod's royalty-free...

Well, that is one person who has said that. I still think that the GP2X is great and having linux on it is the biggest reason why I think it is great. As someone who has written a lot of SDL programs, it is just great how easy it is to get little games running on the GP2X. There's no way in a...

I was a bit brusque in my previous reply, for which I apologize. I don't think it's for me to not post what I think because some people may react inappropriately. I think it's good for people to read things they don't like. Everyone should do it.

I must say that that is a very good summary of this sort of thread!

Just to be clear, the GPL prohibits anyone from distributing the firmware unless they make an offer to provide the source to whomever they distribute it to. Since the source is not available, one can't make that offer, so the firmware should not be distributed. Obviously, this isn't going to...

No offense, but I think you are overreacting. This problem is real and people are going to want to talk about it. I think we will start to see the real benefits of the GPL when the source is released. I think this community is great, but it isn't great because of the GPL. Well, perhaps you are...

Why are the "GPL geeks" to blame for this? What they are doing with this beta is exactly as contrary to the GPL as what they were doing with their public releases was. It's obviously not a secret either way and they are still distributing binaries without the source, which is still against the...

Sorry, I hadn't picked that up. I have only ever used SDL_mixer.

How is it opening the sound device?

That got it! Thanks VERY much for that. Can you believe that the thread you directed me at was one that I used BEFORE to solve the same problem? I must be getting old.... :P

I should have said that I'd tried that. I get far more errors, of which here is a sample: /usr/local/gp2xdev/lib/libvorbisfile.a(vorbisfile.o): In function `ov_clear': vorbisfile.c:(.text+0xa8): undefined reference to `vorbis_block_clear' vorbisfile.c:(.text+0xb0): undefined reference to...

First of all, thanks very much for your toolchain building script - so easy to use! But, trying to build my programs, I can't get anything with SDL_mixer to link. Here is my compile command: gp2x-g++ -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer *.cpp -o sigpe -static \ `$GP2XDEV/bin/sdl-config --cflags --libs` \...

Either way, two wrongs don't make a right and GPH are obliged to release the source and look like they are reluctant (to put it mildly) to do so. I think most of the threats to GPH came from people who read the story on Slashdot and emailed GPH directly. I didn't see any threats in these...
