There has been a flash player, but it was never continued, and it didn't get very far. You could try searching for that, but no, I wouldn't say there was a good player for the GP2X (yet)

I hope so, i'm ordering it today :lol: I'm pretty positive it will, my stepdad seems to think so, and he's an electrical engineer, so i'll take his word for it ;)

Wow, a lot of suggestions and ideas coming up, and some of them are quite ambitious too - We appreciate everyone's help and ideas with this, they're all very useful :) The idea of Simple RTS is to just get an RTS out there on the GP2X, to show that a handheld system is not only capable of...

I have yes...but what you're suggesting is a radically different game design, and we already have that pinned down. Not saying the idea wouldn't work, or that it's bad, it's just not what Simple RTS is about. :)

They look great Magnulus :) We've been discussing the game design a fair bit, and there's probably too much of it to post here, so let's just say it's the nitty gritty stuff, the small details on how the game'll be built - when Wite Noiz gets on i'll explain. All we need now is a few...

I'm a resource man myself, because resource handling is a skill, just like defense, attack, speed, and so on - it gives the game more strategy - do I attack their base, or limit their resources? should I take out that ore miner in a swift bombardment, or take out the tanks defending it first...

Which doesn't suggest that it would be a bad idea, just that it wouldn't be very user friendly - but I guess if the application is useful to those who are willing to learn it (I would, it'd save using my PC to type memo related stuff, I hate paperwork) then it's not a bad idea.

Magnulus - the key is to keep the design looking pixelated, yet proffesional - which is tricky to do with such a low-res screen. Can't wait to see what you come up with :) I think with the right shading, you could give them a "chunky" sort of look which would fit in rather nicely too ;) Just...

That's a good idea, that person would have to submit details so we know they are reading the document and may use it :)

It is a very interesting idea - but what about deserved credit? What's stopping someone from just glossing over it, grabbing an idea, and claiming it as their own? I have a lot of game design ideas, but I wouldn't release these unless I could be sure they wouldn't be simply stolen.

This isn't a request thread for RTS ports, sorry :) While we appreciate the help and feedback, we're not interested in porting games that have already developed - what's the fun in that? The GP2X needs new games, original games. It'd be like....someone saying they were going to develop a...

Rename the file autorun.gpu, stick it on the root of your SD or NAND memory, and make sure Auto Run is turned on in the GP2X options menu. http://www.gp2x.com/product/09/9-7.asp?part=04

Thanks for spotting that Dzz. If the music is that good, I guess we could ask the creators directlly, if that's possible, but we can worry about music when we get to it. I guess it should be near the bottom of our priorities though anyway, nice to have, but not essential right now :)

It depends how often it's going to be used - if it's just for the odd command, ABCDEF is fine, but if it's for lines of text, QWERTY would be quicker, shouldn't make a big difference if you're only entering in small stuff, so for that ABCD would be good.

My GP2X is still playable, but it is quite offputting. I'm just grateful it was just the plastic casing and on the LCD screen that was damaged. I'll probably just stick with my DS for awhile until I get it fixed, might have some new games to download and play by then, give me something to look...

Good idea White Noiz, that sounds like a plan regarding the map. And instead of using L + R (which I think should be reserved for the box/mouse control method, we could unit scroll via -/+ - either by group or by type, whichever is best - it can also be used to scroll through buildings as well...

I agree that a quick way to access units would be great, but L/R clicking through them might get a little tedious, I'd much prefer to be able to select units myself, or select a whole type of unit - yes, I think keeping the playing area to 320x240 would be best.

Selecting by type can simply be mapped to -/+, it can compliment the box selection method :) jbrodack, ignore jaqms, he's on his own personal little crusade to convince people the GP2X good for nothing but ports and emulation. David Beoulve - how about this; L + Joystick = Map Scroll R +...

For single unit selection a button to switch to a mouse pointer would be best - switching between them both would give us a pretty solid control scheme I think, well done for spotting that problem :) Infact, there are a few different ways this could be done, another way would be to instead of...
