    PlayStation Phone

    I think the two dots on the wide touchscreen canvas serve as virtual dual sticks. But I expect them to be just as imprecise as on-screen virtual joysticks on the iOS games.

    Easiest 3D engine to use

    Hello, I've been checking out the works-in--progress Unity games and something hit me: without a joystick, they play like crap. Some of those games recommended to plug in an Xbox 360 controller, but that's not something you expect all PC owners to have. So I thought "I wish there were an...

    The usual I cancel and you suck compilation

    Good point. Myself, I'm just going to camp it out until the production run is more stabilized and consistent, and in the meantime am making a game that should be easy to port to the device. Who knows, maybe when I finish I'll be able to get a Pandora by then! I'm so 'amateur' that even the...

    The 256X256X256 Thread

    Hmmm... I could have sworn the iphone's triangles/texture specs were higher (not that I care anymore anyway, seeing that anything would instantly get lost in a sea of apps). This is a really good initiative. Incidentally I was about to start modeling my characters in Blender for my isometric...

    Pandora How To Build A Game Specific To Pandora Without A Pandora?

    I'm really glad to be learning Python, and especially at this important time when all computing devices are converging to common standards. A few more questions... Looking further on the Pandora interface, I noticed that the 'Start' is mapped to 'Alt' and 'Select' is mapped to 'Ctrl'... which...

    Pandora How To Build A Game Specific To Pandora Without A Pandora?

    Thanks! I decided I wanted to implement the following: End as 'Confirm Selection', Page Down as 'Cancel Selection', Page Up as 'Main Menu', and Right Shift / Right Control to cycle through characters in the inventory screens since that's similar to conventional controls on the DS and...

    Pandora How To Build A Game Specific To Pandora Without A Pandora?

    Hello, I'm currently making a strategy role playing game (Japanese-style SRPG similar to FF Tactics) in pygame, but I don't have a Pandora (yet). I'm not really a good programmer so even if I had one, I doubt I would be able to cross-compile anything. When I complete the game and have tested...

    Considering A Pandora

    Hi I was wondering if the Pandora designers considered licensing the design to third-party manufacturers after a time? Like Asus or Acer. Here in Philippines and most other countries kids buy modded PSPs to play games for free. As an aspiring developer, I realize this defeats the whole...

    Pandora Casual Coding On Pandora ?

    So is the prevailing assumption that almost all Pandora developers would be developing multiplatform titles? That they would have their complete development environment on an x86 machine and only run the finished application on the Pandora for testing? I thought the Pandora was a full-featured...

    Pandora Casual Coding On Pandora ?

    I consider cost and ease of access the most important things to consider for a platform. iphone / itouch, xbox 360, windows and now Pandora have pretty low cost of entry (usually 100 dollar subscription fee in the former). Nintendo DS and Wii, Sony PSP and PS3 require not only thousands of...
