    Rebirth Competition Voting Thread [update: parody]

    pffft, where's your sense of humor? don't take the compo, and especially this fake thread too seriously :D we're already half-way into what's supposed to be the "voting week" and no news about anything. someone HAD to make that joke :P you'd rather have me bitch and complain ? I think...

    Needing a list of legal, non copyright-infringing Apps, games, etc.

    Anyway, be careful of what you say, how you say it, and especially how it could be misinterpreted. Big publishing houses and their associations have whole teams of full-time vampires in suits paid just to take down whole sites indiscriminately at the first glimpse of a suggestion of piracy...

    Things that are in the P1 we dont want/need for P2

    I really hope you are kidding. or maybe you're fine carrying a car battery in your backpack to power the CPU for barely more than 5 minutes. and if we're lucky, the battery will die before the PowerPC CPU melts the casing.

    Needing a list of legal, non copyright-infringing Apps, games, etc.

    Sony is insinuating (accidentally or not) that because a game is 20 year old its ok. there is no such 20 year threshold. this is bogus information that others will take as fact. it is wrong and illegal if you don't own a license to the game, unless it is past the copyright expiration date...

    Needing a list of legal, non copyright-infringing Apps, games, etc.

    don't encourage piracy, it is VERY wrong if you don't own an original legal copy of the game and depending on the country it might still be illegal even then. depending on the country copyright can last for over 75 years, 105 years for recent work in the USA...

    Rebirth Competition Release Thread

    that could very well be mine (BetaBlockQuest), seems the restore setting part isn't working (the game doesn't crash, it just fails to restore due to some bug). anything that's pandora-specific and differs from the "average" linux system is really hard for me to fix it as I don't have a Pandora...

    Formatting a SD card : demystifying !

    +1 to Grench for the part at the beginning, it may align the filesystem structures in a more SD-card friendly way so that data ends up better aligned to flash erase blocks. 4MB is still overkill nowadays IMHO, even 512KB would be enough for a lot of SD cards. it depend on the erase block...

    Release BetaBlockQuest

    hrm ... "don't make them overly complicated" ? can't remember exactly what event prompted me to put that line in :) and I don't want to risk starting a flame war either. I want to make more of a Zelda type game out of it, with server-less multiplayer, and sandbox gameplay. its still...

    Rebirth Competition Release Thread

    I'm still trying to find a way to force the linux kernel to NOT give priority to the chunk-generating thread but seem the kernel's "fair" scheduling ends up penalizing the game's main thread (render+AI), in favor of the generator thread and takes too long to switch back to the main thread...

    minecraft

    I wouldn't say his code sucks, it works, he targeted beefy PCs and made a game that is a lot of fun to play with friends. online gameplay with minecraft servers needs over 20KB/sec, I'm not sure the wifi will be reliable enough to support this much bandwidth steadily. and you can forget...

    I made a video of BetaBlockQuest on BeagleBoard, OMAP3 @720Mhz, 800x480 walking and building around the starting area: https://www.youtube.com/embed/LwusqW6KAX4?feature=oembed

    minecraft

    sorry to grave dig a bit, googling for "minecraft (open) pandora" still links people to this (somewhat useless) thread I figured I'd point people to a more realistic expectation :D and a shameless plug :lol: theeheeheehee download link from compo...

    Release BetaBlockQuest

    for those who have nub issues you can plug in a USB controller (you might need a high-speed USB2.0 HUB for the Pandora's host port), I tested with an XBox360 USB controller, Logitech game pad, and PS2 to USB adapter on PC and BB. no need to restart the game, it should auto-detect the new...

    Commercial Pandora Games

    +1 altho aside from a few very unusual hackish weirdness, its a mostly normal Linuxen. easy enough to support if you actually have the device and maintain an otherwise regular linux version. I though about this option and personally wouldn't go that way. I would hate to have to swap SD...

    Which one do you want first? (+video)

    the other shoulder button should let you place and remove blocks, there's still a significant delay tho. you can invert the Y axis of the right nub if you edit ~/.BetaBlockQuest/joystick_map.xml and add flags="invert" to the "nub1" section at the bottom of the XML, the one with the...
