PoisonedV, Thanks for the thoughtful, detailed feedback! That's good stuff. I can only speak to a little of it: specifically the randomness of the whole affair (i.e., the lack of cohesion or focus). I was kind of surprised by it, too. But that reflects the culture PokeParadox set right from...

Ahh... I think the best expression of love is a contribution. Thanks to Gruso, both my games now have fabulous soundtracks. Thanks to TheBrainSquid, I have some snazzy colorful buttons for PanicAttack. And thanks to Chip (thanks, Chip!) I have some awesomely distracting background material for...

If you're in no rush and you are not sure what you're buying (haven't done much research), then I would encourage you to relax and wait. Watch the first batch come out, read the reviews, let the kinks in the software get ironed out. By the second or third batch (which should come quickly, BTW...

If it helps, the primary problem I've had building under Linux is a question of capitalization -- mostly the contents of the trabitBoy directory. I don't know if all the games actually play properly under Linux or not. I have no controller and have noticed some difficult behavior. (I think I...

Finally, some progress on my games! I hope to have an upload for you this weekend. One curious question: most of my images have alpha backgrounds. That seems to work, generally, except for one. This one is a big, red X (sorry, not convenient to upload it from here: see...

Recently it seems power supplies frequently are made to run 100-240VAC or thereabouts, which should cover most countries. Maybe toss in some plug adapters and you're good to go. Power supplies are the easy part. Maybe they'll just order a bunch from Sony. :lol:

BTW, Control-[ also seems to do "Escape" in vim. On my box, anyhow. Of course, a quick glance at the render on the blog suggests that combination will not be especially helpful. I love the idea of the shoulder keys. And the comment about using Escape in other (text-oriented) contexts makes...

KeePassX works well and is cross-platform. I like it. As long as I'm sitting at the computer, I might as well let it do the dirty work of remembering passwords. Just keep backups! I keep a copy on USB, but I avoid actually using that stick with strange computers. My machine at work (which I set...

Minor update to PanicAttack. Some backgrounds I cobbled together and some new button graphics, courtesy of TheBrainSquid. I have a somewhat devious idea for the progress meter. It just requires some time. There's a 50/50 chance I'll ever get around to it. I also still need to add some...

I will display my English-as-first-language bias and say that's a very nice layout! Perhaps Fn+C could be compose and Fn+V AltGr? I sympathize with requiring too many keystrokes for diacriticals. I serious interest in being able to type in at least three non-English languages. However: 1. we...

162 posts. That's hilarious. A little bizarre, even. I might as well throw my hat in the ring! +1 to a clean keyboard with Compose/AltGr. I need to learn to use those. +1 to Rexlia: it's cute. It'll get old fast, but that's OK. BTW, plain boring business fonts are there for a reason. If it...

I encoded a bunch of cartoons/movies to play back on the Pandora during a several-day car trip made in late December '08.... ooops. Caillou's good. I really like the Scholastic videos, which generally are based on books that are then animated. Many are very nicely done, and many are done by a...

Fabulous! Please update the wiki with your experience so as maybe to save the next person from a little pain! :)

I'm no expert, but I really believe you have just described Python with Pygame. I betcha' it would be plenty sufficient for 2D sprites. But I could be wrong.

Ant, I believe, runs in Java. If you have a reasonably compliant JVM, ant should be no problem. Commercial software houses using the library is surely a great sign: they have a strong interest in maintaining and even improving the library. If that meant they could tout Pandora support in...

An interesting-looking library, indeed! From the FAQ: QUOTE Q: Will LWJGL support OpenGL ES A: OpenGL ES is basically a subset of OpenGL, and we will make the best efforts to get LWJGL running on a device. However we have yet to get our hands on one :(. From the "about" page: QUOTE Just...

Hmmm... so no bites on my invitation to discourse on the relative merits of Scheme/CLOS vs. Python/Ruby vs. C/C++/Java? (How's that for expressing opinions just by the way I group things?!? :D ) Well, partially as a bump and partially because we were discussing resources: Last night I came...

Off-topic: which mobile broadband stick did you get working with your Ubuntu OS? Thanks, --Todd

Hooray for SDL/OpenGL! Once I work through t-y-scheme or something similar, I may ask to see that code as a good starting place! Gasp sounds like a great project. ----------------------------------------- So I don't intend this as a troll -- honest! But.... :D Would you guys care to...
