Those are great, I just wish my pathetic attempts with my Wacom Bamboo were half as good. Anyway, I especially like the little console flourishes on the backs of their hands. Action buttons on the back of his hand and gamepad on hers. Excellent.

The reason there are so many iPhone games is... money! There are literally millions of potential idiots (sorry, customers) that any developer can target, at just a few dollars which makes it a highly desirable market to be in. And have you seen some of the crud that tries to get passed off as...

I don't know what it's like in use or in its integration, but Squirrel seems like a possible alternative. It's used in all sorts of games and applications (even code::blocks uses it). I've had it bookmarked for a while and meant to look into it further. Lua of course was the alternative. from...

It's just that, an accessory. A protective carry case. You can always buy one later if you find you need one.

Animatch is a really good replacement (improvement on) tilematch. We're playing it non stop now :)

Thanks Ruckage, the 1.2 is SO much better than the 1.1 we tried a while ago. My g/f is a obsessive tilematch fan (over 3,000,000 hi score!!) but this 1.2 version is keeping her interest now, and I'm starting to play it more too. She really likes the idea of a shared score table too. The only...

Hmm, interested in one of these, but they don't do a cheaper Linux version (currently/ever?) so has anyone tried installing say Ubuntu on it and has anyone tried and succeeded in getting their Microsoft tax back?

I get that problem (with latest version of Gmenu2X) and I'm assuming it's a F100 firmware issue. I still have 2.0.0 and don't particularly want to upgrade and break stuff. If anyone knows different let us know.

Pressing F11 on my 3.0 versin hides the menu and auto hides the address bar until you mouse over it and it drops down.

Ok, I've done my good deed today and paid by UK bank transfer so that more people can order by CC (and get refund cover while I've lost it) :) Blimey, it's a bit like 'giving' at Christmas to help others in need. If you're in the lucky situation of being able to afford the risk, pay by transfer...

I think the loop is brilliant! And the effects are great too. I wish I knew how to do music and decent sound effects. I'd love it or something similar for my Reword game I'm currently reworking for the Pan. I dumped the MOD music I had on the GP2X as I'm finding it too difficult to implement...

yep, me too! I got the email ages ago and the refund a while ago, just need the CC link now. No pressure, I know it's being organised, but I'll be happier when my money is down again. Love the case (and even white) pic by the way. Thanks for the update.

Not true! as name (in this case) is a std::string its assignment operator takes n (a const char *) and copies the data, it does not copy the pointer.

Miggles, If you just want to use copies of a SDL surface, use a straight pointer copy and increment the surface refcount value. That way the original image is always used and any SDL_FreeSurface() call just decrements the refcount until the last one (original image) which is then deallocated...

Ok, I decided to try out the full transparency thing, rather than the pink colour key type blit, and changed the code a little to cope with alpha chanels better and redid some images with full alpha transparency. Loaded them up to test, and got mixed results. One image, the rotating animated...

Wow, I just looked at that screenshot again and it's horrible isn't it! It doesn't actually look that bad on the GP2X, but not far off. Maybe it was the size/scale reduction (ImageMagick) I used. The fonts are rendered using the SDL TTF library, so should look fairly decent, and I know they...

No you're right Zoxc, and I might even try proper transparent sprites for Reword, but this will come up again, especially in my next game where bullets and stuff will be flying around, so I'd like to find out if theres an easier way to do this sort of thing. qwerty, I tried setting the...

Yep, I am currently using the pencil (with hard edge) to tidy up the edges manually. I rarely use the paintbrush as I find I can't control it that well. However I'm still having some issues getting rid of the tainted pixels. I'm wondering if when I save the xcf as png and it merges the layers...

ok, I know what the problem is, and basically what I need to do, but I just need a graphics whiz to point me in the right direction. It's a problem with my new updated graphics for Reword (see original in Sig link). I've just about finished reworking the code to handle the Pandora's bigger...

Hi scores on tilematch: a game we play *all* the time! I really hope it gets ported to the Pandora.
