    Pyra in the wild - the real life experience

    Has anyone tried using the Pyra as a desktop PC? And by that I mean having the system itself sitting closed on the desk, and using a keyboard/mouse/monitor to interact with it. If so, how easy is it to switch back and forth between stationary and portable mode? Just a matter of...

    Pandora 2 Concept

    My top 3 changes would be a newer SoC for CPU/RAM, OLED screen, and HDMI out (provided you can run in high resolution if plugged to a large monitor, to use it like a normal PC). Second tier would be GPS, tilt sensor, and camera (possibly 2 cameras like DSi). I love the control layout as it is...

    July Is Here - When Will It Be Released

    Yeah! I love thunderstorms, and I just moved back to the midwest from Seattle at the start of spring, so it's been great. But yeah, here was the post from MWeston in the big thread. Sounds like it really is still 2 months. What bothers me is this. From the main page: "Create mould of final...

    How Do We Decide?

    How long will it be between the first 100 and the next run? Are you really going to wait a week or two for them all to arrive and then to get feedback, or just send out 100, then send out 100 more a few days later, etc. and fix problems as they come in and the Pandoras go out? If there's a...

    GP2X (noob) How Would I Get Started To Develop A Game?

    The two monumental hurdles of game programming for me, and how I solved them: Hurdle #1: Finding out what kind of tools I needed, and how to set them up. Solution: MS Visual C++ 6.0. Just install it, create a console app project, and do this: #include <iostream> void main() { cout <<...

    Blog Update

    QUOTE EVERYTHING FITS! :D YAY! About time that something worked despite there being a chance for problems :P I like the LED bar. But I still worry about the D-pad. I hope it doesn't constantly tip onto diagonals when you're trying to press a single direction, like most circle-type D-pads do.

    Makin' Mah Mmo

    Yeah, I'd say go for 4 way, then add 8 way later on if you're not swamped with regular bug fixing and balancing type work (Logokas, it's actually more than 2x the work, because up and down can't just be mirrored). Or maybe only do walks/idles in 8 directions, and snap to an angle for attacks...

    2d Vector Collision Detection

    Seems a little overcomplicated. What about just doing 3 line segment intersections so you don't have to worry about skipping over the triangle? This looks like a good explanation of line intersections http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/geometry/lineline2d/ If you're worried about speed, you...

    Collecting Wishlists For A 2d Game Development System

    First, let me say that the only easy game maker I've used is RPG Maker 95. I'm a professional DS programmer now though, and have worked on a bunch of games of different types, written a lot of code that interacts with scripting, and done some scripting myself. So without further ado, some...

    Craig Will This Help?

    +1 The only useful reasons I can think to take preorders so far in advance are to determine the batch size (which is set at 4000) and to pay for the parts and manufacturing (which they have enough for). They shouldn't even need to separate everyone into two groups. Surely there will be at least...

    Order Question For Spare First Batch Units

    Yeah, I didn't get the pre-order newsletter until about 6 hours after mine was placed... so it probably won't do you much good when there are only a couple hundred left, with a known ship date. My guess is that it will be similar to the initial pre-orders and there will be an announcement a day...

    Nope, I never replied to the original, and got the cc reorder email this morning (USA west coast)

    So awesome! Mr.007 looks more like Mr. Mafia to me XD And Mr.G's pants are the win. You certainly do know how to pack in the personality with each large colored square. Here's what I've been working on lately It's gonna take a while shading everything like that. But first, I must master the...

    December Update

    I think the first batch was 4000 units, and there were about 3800 preorders, so that just about covers it.

    Is It Comfortable To Hold?

    I personally love the button/analog/keyboard layout and don't think it looks awkward at all. It's part of what caught my attention to the project in the first place. Then again I have big hands, so the nubs will probably be more comfortable for me to reach than most. The touch screen does seem...

    Dec Update

    2 updates in one day? We certainly are spoiled around here. Thanks Craig and ED! Love the new top. It looks like it will sit quite nicely in my pocket with the more rounded edges. I too like the sturdy look of that hinge. And hope that it's black. The logo placement makes it look even more like...

    Interested In Being A Game Programmer...

    Sounds like a good game, and I like the art style. But yeah, it does sound like a lot of work :) I wouldn't be surprised if someone takes up the challenge though. Are you doing level designs also? I bet if you get some layouts done with enemy positions and such, it would help show people that...
