some very, very nice looking stuff there.


I'll say thanks to everyone and good luck then


Would like to try all these out, some interesting apps and games.


DraStic also is good news, didn't know Prof Leyton was ready for Pandora, very nice


...and cheers for collation Wally

 

[MrBazil2k]

Thats an really awesome list there cO

Thx for all those great releases !

Going to try them all out as soon as I find time for them

Keep up the good work all !

EDIT : I just gave "DraStic" and "LibreOffice" a try... those two already "blew" me away... ^^

           Gosh.. this is going to take some time testing all out cO

Would be good if a zip file could be downloaded with every competition entry in it as a PND.

Then when the PND's are put on the memory card they all show in a new folder or menu under competition/category

I guess there will be, as ED announced he will create "official" entry threads on Monday: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12025-release-of-entries-voting-and-prizes/

Such a zip file has been provided at the past competition, therefore I don't see a reason why this won't happen again this time.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

That's a huge list !

Great to see original games are a big part in it  

Shame I could not manage time of my own :unsure:

 

[pmprog]

Hmmm, I see you didn't actually look at the FTP server to see what was uploaded; My game was never submitted. It wasn't even close to being playable

Do you still need Allegro 5 for your game?

Not for Trigger Happy, I was using Sparrow3D for that; I just never coded anything more than the vid that went up on my YouTube.

That said, I've been spending a bit of time working on my Allegro 5 game framework, joining in enet so I can add network support. It'll be a long time before I probably ever get a game out

I wasn't aware I could

I don't know if you can. Was mine the only project not to actually get submitted in the end? If so, that's even more depressing

 

[EvilDragon]

potpourli also wasn't submitted.

No need to be depressed though, I've got more competitions planned, as this one was really awesome

Don't be depressed. I also didn't submit in the Original Game too. In fact, it's been at least 6 months I didn't touch it.

You at least managed to submit *something* though.
On the plus side, hopefully by the time I am ready and able to make a game for the Pandora lunchbochs' GL->GLES wrapper will be complete and we'll have Allegro 5.1 running super smooth with it (although we'll probably be on Allegro 6 by that point)

On the Allegro 5.1 side, I have some Hardware support ready. Most examples compile and runs fine, and both demos that compile (speed and the asteroid thingy) also runs fine (and fast). But when I tried it with Meka, I had problems, so it's not ready yet (mouse handling is broken for now, and many blitting on surface that are not the backbuffer seems to fail).

I think without the competition I would have given up on my frontend at some point (or postponed it indefinately) because of all the problems I had. Deadlines are a good motivator

The compo brought a lot of nice stuff to the Pandora in all departments, including original games. So I'd say it was a great success already (everybody wins).

Yes, that's true. There are many impressive titles in all categories. The voting will be a tough choice !!!
