Obvious? Macromedia Shockwave

[Goatboy]

Searched the board and this hasn't come up yet, I think.


What about a shockwave player for GP32? I bet it is fairly proprietary, but I was one of the idiots that bought a pogo when they came out, and soon realised that although it was an awesome web browser, it was a cr*p phone!

However, the whole O/S was written in Shockwave and you could load your own shockwave apps to it, which made development a doddle.

The games ran slow on that unit, but then it had a slooow processor compared to GP32

Any ideas?

Good idea

 

[mosschops]

i think this is a grand idea, there's some great games and even anims. A shockwave port might even open up areas for other less techie people to create on for gp32.

I know a flash player was in the works at one time.....

 

[zboy9]

I know.. :angry: What happened to it?

Yes, all your searching for 'shockwave' may have blanked but a 'flash' player has been discussed

Flash is easier to do and I believe the player is open-source - might be wrong there. Either way there are flash players for PocketPCs and it wouldn't be hard to do one for the GP32. With an 128mb SMC you could hold a lot of movies/games

I always hear about it and want it BADLY, but nobody ever makes it happen. :-(

likewise! Flash on the go would be awesome!


i hope there's some genius out there with spare time and a kind heart who is capable of porting a Flash player across

please!

cough skeezix cough

 

[kitsune]

Screw flash! I want Shockwave! Shockmachine32!

 

[Rambozo]

It's all just vector animation. It's not like one is possible but not the other, lol. So is Skeezix going to attempt this?

 

[Rico]

I doubt it, I think that Shrike doesn't know any other developers

 

[Shrike]

nah its just skeezix is a psychopath with too much coding time on his hands

 

[Tobriand]

Nah, he doesn't have too much coding time on his hands... he just uses time for other things to code for Gp32 - for which I'm very grateful. Go Skeezix!!!



Alternatively, he could just have no hands...
