    Pandora For Sale (eBay)

    Wow. One of the first hundred Pandoras for the original, lower, price. That's incredible. If I wasn't waiting for my Pandora to arrive by air-mail, I'd bid on it.

    Best Nintendo Game Boy Games

    Kirby's Dream Land was one of the best games ever. I think it might've been the first video game I ever actually beat. It had some awesomely fun secret areas (that weren't too difficult to find, if you were watching out for them - in the 3rd and 4th levels, I think?), and that last fight with...

    I'll <verb> your <noun>.

    See, a while ago, I thought I had it with "I'll void your turtle." Then one of my friends told me that "turtle" was somehow Japanese slang for virginity, and, well, I had to remove that one from the "win" column.

    Pygame Framerates and HWSURFACE?

    Having seen bugs 122 and 121, and reading a few posts about Pygame's framerate, I was wondering if you guys could help me do some testing before my Open Pandora arrives? If I understand bug 122 correctly, the HWSURFACE option isn't available in Pygame because SDL doesn't support hardware...

    How to play a whole game franchise on your Pandora

    Obviously another franchise that I'll have to review at some point is Doom (the third one doesn't count, much like StarWars 1-3). That and Quake. And Mario Kart. But, I'm only calling Doom.

    port request.

    You can also run iftop - that's probably available from the Angstrom repository, or is trivially portable. Or, if you're feeling really hacky, you can check out the /proc/net/dev file, which keeps a running tally of the number of bytes of interweb usage.

    Absurdism corner

    The wombat lives across the seas, Among the far Antipodes. He may exist on nuts and berries, Or then again, on missionaries; His distant habitat precludes Conclusive knowledge of his moods, But I would not engage the wombat In any form of mortal combat. -- The Wombat

    I'll <verb> your <noun>.

    One game I played with some of my friends over the years is "I'll <verb> your <noun>." You win if you produce a sentence that doesn't sound dirty somehow. I've never seen a winning sentence. Sentences that I have lost with: I'll milk your cow! I'll null your pointer. I'll clean your pipes!

    quick boot

    Does it boot using goal-based (init-ng) booting? Or does it use the old-fashioned System-V boot method? I've heard the init-ng style booting also cuts boot time in half.

    SD drama's in heaven

    I got a 16GB PNY class 10 card for $27 off of Amazon a few days ago. It's a good card with great read speed, and good write speed, as long as you're writing less than 256 MB at a time. It has a 256 MB write cache, so writing 256MB is nearly instantaneous... But, once you exceed the write...

    In-game advertising: gathering thoughts, opinions on the matter

    Usually, I'd vote "pure evil!!!" but, I'd be happy to see indie-devs supporting themselves that way. I'd have a really hard time supporting the mainstream gaming industry supporting itself that way (though they already do that). However, I'm averse to ads, so I'd really like to see a "if you...

    Homebrew competition!!

    Richiz, were I you, I'd just keep going in Python, and maybe drop $25 on the eBook copy of Beginning Game Development with Python and Pygame. It's an awesome book, and with lots of luck, it'll help me get a very simple 3D game up before the deadline. I'm really looking forward to seeing your...

    New High Priority Project: PowerVR drivers

    When we reach that point, what's effectively a static piece of hardware that doesn't do much outside of basic IO and can't be modified, replaced, or updated, I'm less intrigued. It's the same logic that rendered the BIOS projects unnecessary until fairly recently (when BIOS became writable and...

    New High Priority Project: PowerVR drivers

    Once this change is implemented, how many non-free drivers will run parts of the OP? In other words, after the video drivers are switched out, how much of the OpenPandora will still be closed?

    A legal Mega-download of ROM's for the Pandora

    I always seed when I'm not at work - the disadvantages of bringing one's laptop to work.

    So... Where do I start?

    If I could make a shameless plug, check out the first PandaPack, which was created for exactly this sort of situation. ;)

    Homebrew competition!!

    Given that you've put time into learning Python and PyGame, I'd stick with it. Without seeing your code, I doubt it's engine you picked (PyGame gets very competitive framerates), but the algorithms you're using. Try profiling your code to figure out where the slow spots are (google for "python...

    A legal Mega-download of ROM's for the Pandora

    They will be incremental in that one follows after the other, but the packs won't be related to one another in any way. You won't be required to download pack 02 to enjoy the content on pack 16, for example. The PND system pretty effectively precludes any such interdependency. It'll be a case...

    A legal Mega-download of ROM's for the Pandora

    A few suggestions for the next pack (probably in a week or two): Up to 1 GB. Ginge :) ScummVM and Beneath a Steel Sky Gargoyle and a few of those games.
