    Woohoo! Best Christmas present ever! Go ED! Go CC! Yay!

    We all know what it CAN do

    I think we're getting to the heart of the question you posed so long ago - what could it be useful for the Pandora to do, and what would be a good idea to add to the Pandora's core so that everyone can use it? Those are two different questions, and only the second one's really worth answering...

    We all know what it CAN do

    I've been thinking about this one a bit, and would like to contradict my first post in this topic (the second post of the topic). I think I've figured out a way to do this, mostly in order to run the Spiderweb Software games. For any program that you have source for, Wine itself has ARM...

    The Second Humble Indie Bundle!

    The second Humble Indie Bundle is available for the next day! I've played half the games already and they're wonderful! I got the first one too, and both are completely worth the (any amount) I paid for them. They also make rather inexpensive holiday presents, with instant shipping ;)

    Moving forward! (2010-12-17)

    If we go with a demon (daemon) mascot, it should definitely be named Murphy. He'll have a law. Maybe the mascot could be the Scales of Justice (law) with the D(a)emon named Murphy on one side (and the Pandora on the other?).

    Moving forward! (2010-12-17)

    Awesome news, ED! Just remember that no matter how much crap people give you about your timetables, you'll never be as far behind as the Thomas Biskup's JADE (the successor to the very popular Adom roguelike). That project is now at least 12 (almost 13!) years overdue. Wow, I've been...

    Game Development Blogs, Articles, and Links

    I figured it'd be awesome to have a list of blogs, links, etc., about game development. So, starting off the list are the wonderful: Wolfire.com's Blog, and Jeff Vogel's Spiderweb Software Neither of them are game-creation only, but both of them are authoritative when they do discuss the...

    An algorithm problem

    Jon, take Isaac's advice, but also, learn vector and matrix math, they'll make really complex mathematical problems really simple (and REALLY FAST) in the future. Also, you should investigate Wolfire.com's Blog, specifically their linear algebra for game developers series.

    Socketed Processor, Ram, Graphics and NAND Chip?

    Are the processor, RAM, NAND, or graphics chip socketed (not soldered) chips? If so, I could conceivably upgrade each of them individually over time, assuming the new pieces fit in the standard sockets. Imagine a customized Pandora with an OMAP 47 processor, and 1.3 TB RAM, or other silly...

    We all know what it CAN do

    Aside from performance limitations generally, one of the few things it can't do is run programs that aren't compiled for ARM. So, no Windows games that don't have source and haven't been ported to ARM. WoW is out. Other than that, I think the only thing left is that it can't paint your...

    Warning: don't leave your Pandora plugged in for too long

    Since this seems like something new users might want to be aware of ("Don't leave your Pandora plugged in indefinitely!"), I've added this information to the new user's wiki. Please edit it up, but leave the warning in.

    looking for help on project

    I suspect that you're looking for dpkg for the Pandora, which we have, through opkg from Angstrom. Conceivably, someone could just set up a PND opkg repository, with a custom front-end (that searched your SD for packages instead of the normal opkg database), and we'd be good to go. You might...

    Advices for cross-platform dev.

    Understand both your targets and constraints, then pick your tools with both of those in mind. Even Hello World! can be programmed in a platform dependent way. If you're looking for cross-platform support, it might be easier (from a development standpoint) to choose an interpreted language...

    Gish, Indie bundle port

    Paradox, Gish isn't Make, it's CMake, which is a totally different monster, sorta. It's similar to SCons, with less of the pure Automake evil involved, though it does create a makefile in the process. Good old (hand-written) make files are awesome (for simple projects); the CMakeLists.txt file...

    Pandora Photoshop-like Program for Pandora?

    If you're used to working in Photoshop, GIMP shouldn't throw you at all. I'd try installing it on a desktop system first and learning how you can customize the GIMP's interface before you try it on the Pandora. Meet The Gimp has ABSOLUTELY AWESOME video tutorials for getting into the program...

    DooM][ editor tools port request

    I actually have a copy of the Doom WAD building book (made with real trees!) that has a CD of WAD-building tools (including a DeH editor) - let me know if you want me to try to track down the tools included on the CD. It's from the early 90s, right around when Doom came out, it doesn't even...

    2000 nubs ready to rumble (2010 - 12 - 07)

    ED, awesome job, and everyone loves you! Now go relax with some World of Goo! Or maybe package it first, please? ;)

    Release Random Cowsay and "The Devil's Dictionary"

    While waiting for production to start on Batch 2, I decided to do something silly this weekend. Cowsay is awesome, because it's cows saying stuff. Fortune is cool, because it can display stuff. You can combine the two by giving fortune's output to cowsay: cowsay `fortune` As much fun...

    unified menu for emulators

    If you're that into a unified menu, you could try to build a frontend for Raine, which is (as I understand it) the version of MAME meant for actually playing games, instead of just perfectly emulating a variety of systems.

    Warning: don't leave your Pandora plugged in for too long

    That was awesome enough to earn you a friend. (: Too bad the explosion effect could only happen once though. But wow, what a way to end a game of Doom or something!
