I forgot to add: you can now customize the controls, and the settings for controls, sfx volume and music volume are saved to a file.

lovin this game, man!!! I like the nub controls, actually... gives it a more interesting feel... kind of reminds me of a PSX game who's name I can't remember... was a top-down alien/monster shooter that you controlled the player with the D-pad and the direction you shot with the action buttons (though you only had 8 directions to move or shoot, where THIS gives you more of an analog motion and direction for shooting, which I think is much better) and was VERY gory... I really gotta remember then name of that game so I can get it and re-add it to my PSX collection on my Pandora... but for the life of me, I can't seem to recall it!

MACHINE HUNTER was the name of that game!!! google is so cool, sometimes!
will remember to toggle wifi off via the menu and see if I still get issues with my wifi. I know that when I am not connected to anything, it attempts to connect while I'm playing the game (when I exit the game, the wifi icon is swirling) so it's actually communicating with the drivers directly and attempting to do stuff... what it's attempting to do is beyond me though.

I see a high score competition happening... should we pool together a monetary prize or a cool item for the first person to break 100,000 (or 1,000,000) with screenshot proof?

The control system I'd like:
Left nub or d-pad to move around (both active simultaneously, so you can switch)
Right nub to fire in a particular direction
"A" to fire in whichever direction your ship is facing
Would that be possible?
This game is really neat, but unfortunately I can't really play it right now because it keeps disconnecting the Wifi, and I have to reset my Pandora before I can use Wifi again. That's a bit annoying...

Uploading another update now.
Bugfixes:
- I *think* the wifi issue is resolved. Please report here if it still does it for you.
- Missing sound effects has been resolved (before, depending on what was going on, some sounds might not play)
- Fixed bombing-after-dying bug
Other changes/features:
- Slightly better-looking particles
- SCREENSHOTS! Press select at any time in-game to take a screen shot. It will be saved to the appdata folder.
- Brought dual-laser together a bit
- By default, provided it doesn't conflict with other controls, when you have a nub selected for movement or firing, you can also use the d-pad and abxy buttons for movement and firing, respectively.
Grab it here! http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=SuperGeometryDust-23703

screenshots of the hiscore table are important... can't really have a contest without being able to prove I creamed all you guys legitimately...

Hiscore table is just as easy to tamper with

Or, you could just edit the hiscore txt in appdata

Hi,
I gave a look at that hiscore.txt file, and it's indeed just plain text
Maybe wermy could add some cryptography, like an hash function ?

Storing name highscore then a salted md5 of the highscore would stop people being able to edit themMagic Sam said:Hi,

hmm... md5 is ok, but can be generated... file encryption wouldprobably be better... no one would bother hacking it for something so simple as hiscore bragging rights...

Update time!
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=SuperGeometryDust-23703
UPDATE (1.4.1)!
New Features/Enhancements:
- New enemy: laser-shooting enemy that follows you up to a certain distance from you, and then fires on you
- New enemy: laser-shooting turret, which is stationary and fires at you when you are in range
- New bomb: decoy bomb (press the L-trigger to use), which attracts enemies and explodes after a few seconds. Be warned: these are hard to earn, so use sparingly!
- Various small gameplay tweaks
Bugfixes:
- Enemy-spawning delay when playing multiple games in a row has been fixed
- Inability to take screenshots in the menus (and high score table) has been fixed
You actually kind of got your wish! There are bombs that attract/distract enemies now.

BUG REPORT: I still have the problem with the latest version that, after a few seconds of play, some window pops up in the background and starts interfering with the GL context, such that there are texture glitches, and occasionally I see the network-password dialog. I think there is still something going on with mouse capture/GLES foreground-window context, because I think the X server is still getting events in the background, doing things, and blitting under the GLES context incorrectly.
Incidentally, I saw this behaviour in the early porting stages of Wakebreaker, where windows 'underneath' the full-screen GLES context were still active and blitting, but I haven't seen it since I patched up the GLES init code somewhat. Maybe there is something about that context being built that leaves X events active?
