    Arduino And The Pandora

    What I do know is that if you want to connect it to a windows PC, you need to install the FT232R UART USB driver, and that it has 2 "Serial pins: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL serial data. These pins are connected to the corresponding pins of the FTDI USB-to-TTL...

    Arduino And The Pandora

    I was wondering what can be done with the pandora and the arduino if they are combined toghether :P Mainly I am thinking about this: most of arduinos boards can be used via USB (regognized as a serial USB adapter) but this solution might become pretty umpractical (eats up one USB, cables need...

    Anyone Else Here Losing Interest?

    I tell you: I've not lost interest, but I'm going nuts and depressed. The point is: I'm one of the last in the queue (estimated 3500-3700). The mould for the case will need 35 days to produce. We need CE testing done before, so we get a min 40 days total before the first one. Plus at least one...

    Pandora Tincs - Multiplayer Shooter For Pandora (video)

    Yeah I know it's a little bit complicated, and balancing was what I was really worried about, but posted anyway to help people coming up with a solution toghether. Maybe a player should just be able to choose 1 augumentation at spawning (then we can always decide to keep the energy draining like...

    Pandora Tincs - Multiplayer Shooter For Pandora (video)

    Published my idea of single player campaign/training story: CODE http://tincs.jottit.com/kattle87_sp_story I also had an idea about how the cyberpunk-ish augmentations might work: -When you spawn, you can choose between some predefined classes that will have several combinations of bionic...

    Help Tincs Choose Its Art Direction!

    Can I dare to ask? Will we have only multiplayer "arena" gamestyle or are we getting something like "multiplayer/single player campaign"? I ask this since I might came up with a decent story for a campaign. Note: I mean also something like the mode described here...

    Help Tincs Choose Its Art Direction!

    You are probably right about the fact that there will be no attraction. This is the main reason I voted #3 instead of #2! I just wanted to point out the fact that some "hardcore" gamers just keep playing various FPSes with minimall differences between them. And this is confirmed by this pool :/...

    Help Tincs Choose Its Art Direction!

    As a side note: almost every FPS has that graphics since it "just works", while being "easy" for a story to be built with that atmosphere. But there's always a lot to do even with that cliche if you have still some original ideas :)

    Help Tincs Choose Its Art Direction!

    I just want to add: I think we can mix up the #2 and #3 toghether. Think about it: #3 is a "graphic" style. #2 is also a "word", "environmental" style. Have you seen the screenshots of the new Prince of Persia? They mixed up a cell-shading for the player while mantainig a "almost standard" (it's...

    Help Tincs Choose Its Art Direction!

    Off topic, but there's a suggestion for the idea #2: the game might take place in several cities. If this will be the case, don't give them strange/stupid names: avoid giving ANY name at all :) Here in Italy we have a nice comics in which the cities are called something like: "The Nameless...

    Help Tincs Choose Its Art Direction!

    I would like to see something more with the 3 choice: recently I've been playing Left 4 Dead alot and I can tell you that filmic effects are somewhat great. Post-processing / high contrast do create somewhat an atmosphere. Will we be able to get some of those effects (EG: vignetting, film grain...

    Commercial Games

    OR: the OpenPandora team waits until the engine goes open, pays a few money to a good developer to make a port, then knoks at the door of ID software and tells them: "Hello, we have your engine ported to the Pandora. Would you like to do some free money and get some free reputation by just...

    Ethernet Adapter - Must Be Usb 2.0 ?

    Sorry if we are so much misinformed... but at the end we do need something called like "USB Type-A receptacle/female to Mini-A connector cable" to use those ethernet adapters, right? Do you expect cheap (9.99$) USB 1.1 adapters to draw less then 100 mA? I am interested since I have no wireless...

    Opensky

    http://www.gizmo5.com/pc/opensky/ Now you can make brief calls to skype users (or spend 20$ for getting almost-unlimited calls) using the Gizmo software. A port of Gizmo to the Pandora is way more likely than a skype one (binaries are already there for a N800 and N810). I know it's a Closed...

    I''m Writing A Letter

    Exactly! What they might be interested in is: -making more money with Open sourced versions of Marathon -making more money on the other old-commercial games (prior to M$ era) that they can easily run on the Pandora by some kind of emulator/other open source engine that supports their...

    Regional Keyboards

    Italy here. I admit that using non-english simbols like àèéìòù would be really usefull, but I've seen that the compose key would be an easy and neat way to cope with them. I think it's also better than Alt-GR. Then, for the next batches, if you are willing to, an italian keyboard might be very...
