Will do! Thanks Sam! Actually, I need to change the text on that - no more opengl - I gutted it since I haven't had a chance to read up on ES yet....I'll learn that someday when my brain is not so mushy :)

Jeff - Nothing new :) Same old video from before...my crappy placeholder gfx... Video EDIT: Sorry - the pandy is the target device - I started coded it a few months before chemo...

@skeezix Yeah, it does do some allocation in the render loop for temp surfaces as sprites as well as tiles filter through the same code....Since the sprites can be arbitrary dimensions, I re-allocate in the render, but you are right, that's costly, so I'll pre-create those before...

All excellent points! Thanks - I will make those changes (although I have to look closer at the color conversion/how often that needs to occur) - damn that should have been pretty obvious to me....

Hey all, Was fixin' to get back to coding my pandora game, and I figured I'd throw the rendering portion to the mercy of the dev community. See, I am only a C++/game programmer hobbyist (career is more java stuff), so I figured I'd see if anyone with some time could point out any...

Pickle, I have noticed that while the touchscreen works fine in certain games, it still has issues in other, such as Gabriel Knight (one of my all time favorite games) Also, excellent work! I can't believe how playable much of my dos youth is!

Hey all - Wow, thanks for all the well wishes! I can't wait to get back to coding...it's been almost 6 months since I have programmed, I hope I remember how :) I have only recently (last week or so) gotten back to playing with the pandora....Man, what an awesome device this is...If the...

Sure guys - I promise to get crackin' :) Just got home from surgery today though, so I may disappear a few days for recovery...

Hey all, Been a while. Almost 6 months of hell, but I am done with cancer. If anyone is interested, here is a quick story. Hopefully will be back to working on homebrew in the next few weeks. Glad to be back to the forums :)

Some great news! As I start my final cycle, my blood tumor markers have returned to normal! My oncologist is quite certain my tumor should be gone or on its way out! I will know for sure in 3 weeks, but this is the news that keeps me going, cause brothers and sisters, I feel like SHIT :)...

Hey all, Still here, haven't posted in a few weeks. Finished 2nd round of chemo, starting my final one this coming week. Haven't done any programming or actually, much of anything. The second round of chemo was brutal. I never wanna go through this again. Miss my normal life :).... But...

Awesome - Thanks everyone for the code/examples/wiki links...I am prob not gonna be around the boards for a few days, but I will check this out soon....

Yup, that is a def possibility, and a route I most likely will take :) I added the opengl stuff for future coolness/lighting/transforms (and as a learning experience) But if I keep things simple the way they are, I think I may just nix the opengl stuff for now...

Thanks for the replies all... 1. Yes, the quads are pretty static...Basically, like billboards - they are fixed (in position, space/rotation, and quantity) and really just there to gain the open gl benefits of upstretching images right now (I seem to remember SDL didn't have an efficient way...

Hey all - I'm sure by now you are sick of hearing about my situation, but it's forcing me to bother you guys for some advice. Mainly cause the chemo is really making my head cloudy/difficult to really focus, and I feel like am a complete idiot trying to do some comparisons on my own here. I...

Thanks all... It will get better...(and more games to come)... Just feeling really shitty right now....but 1 week down of chemo! Time for some recovery before the next round.

Yes please....it still needs a fair bit of work before I would like it to be version 1.

Sure guys - Back in the hospital - I know of a few bugs :) the video game puzzle seems like the txt has some junk chars....wanna add sounds and make it accept user created puzzles, but feeling pretty shitty right now... Maybe later....mornings seems to be the worst.

Well, I can't vouche for the quality, but it's something :) It helps keep me mind a bit off of the reality of things...and besides, I love this community and want to help....This damn pandora is a dream....I love it... I couldn't believe, I bought Under a Killing Moon from GOG and am running...

Thanks buddy - When I get some energy, I need to read up on the Opengl ES differences to get my other port going :)
