What software are we still missing on Pandora? (A Wish List)

[Null]

No so many viruses on Linux, though ?

I know, I was being facetious.

I'd like to see a program that will put everything except the USB port into sleep mode, so that I can charge my cell phone while using as little other battery as possible.

Just suspend and that should work, unless the phone wants to enumerate before charging.

As promised, an update version of my "Dicey" dice rolling app is now available for the Pandora.


Grab it from the repo - http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=Dicey_iprice

Iprice, that reminds me we need a yahtzee game!

I may have a solution, if I can resolve all the dependencies..

Maybe when I'm not quite so busy - I'm working on DinoDefense and a MahJong game at the moment -

Please make it with dpad support as using the nubs as mouse replacement is suboptimal at small MahJomg stones.


Other wanted programs:


I'd like to see a lightweight database with flexible setup, quick search yet powerful possibilities to query.


I second the motions for a calendarium. One where I could enter dates like "every second tuesday, except it's on holidays then it is the next tuesday"...

Sorry D-Pad is not currently supported but might be when it's released. It's touchscreen/mouse/nubs only at the moment. I don;t think the tiles/stones are too small to click on - certainly feels comfortable for me. Design, user interaction and control are all important to me - I try to make my games as user-friendly and as functional as possible. My MahJongg game shouldn't upset this balance.

There actually is a Yahtzee game, Tali, included in the Gnome Games PND. Unfortunately, it's not very good, because the window is bigger than the screen.

 

[TrashyMG]

I'm attempting to port open yahtzee.. it requires wxwidgets to be included.. seems to take forever to cross-compile.. even on an 8 core I7 processor..

I forgot, you can also play "Yortzee" on DSiPaint (dsipaint.com) for now. Looks fine if you zoom in in Firefox.

Fine, let's wait for the release. BTW touch screen is the most obvious control but I haven't found a comfortable way to hold my Pandora with fully open lid for using the stylus more than for a few tips yet.

Or you can convert the wxwidgets in Gtk ones

gpe-calendar worked quite good for me, but as it comes from angstrom-repo all its app-data gets lost when updating the Pandora-firmware.


Not that handy in case of an Calendar-app with lots of sync-settings.

Oh, cool - never had heard of the GPE project. I'll look into how much effort it would need to bundle the relevant GPE apps into a PND.

Hi Guys


I would like to see a PINBALL emulator.........Such,like Visual Pinball should be possible........

How do you know that it should be possible? There a threads, that are about this topic alone and there you can read, why visualpinball is really hard to port to the pandora or even linux.


Other pinball software might be more fearsible, but the alternatives for linux are limited and mostly not ia complete state.


There are noumerous pinball games for snes, genesis, amiga and psx that can be emulated right now.

I have a full time job that forces me to work 60+ hours a week.. I don't have that kind of time. Plus I got wxwidgets to compile fine.. However the Open Yahtzee configure script isn't cross-compiler friendly, I need to hack it a bit.. but looks promising so far.

Sorry Mc


I hope,it is possible.I am no programmer,only a little hacker for Atari systems.


If someone can do,maybe YOU??


Give it a try.......pleeeeeaaaaaase





greetings Walter

Or how about a slotmachine emulator????

 

[ibisum]

Pinball machines? Box2D.

iCP already works rather well as a bluetooth joystick when in HID mode. I personally use it for player two on pcsx-rearmed.
