    Why I Will Not Be Getting A Pandora Now...

    To be frank, I have patience... I will order once I see the prototype and have some reassurance the whole thing is not going to collapse into a heap (it is possible, regardless of how squeaky clean Craigix, ED, etc are). Also, I explicitly asked about how much I would need to pay (i.e. do I pay...

    Video Glasses

    Mr devil45: It has nothing to do with the word, but the action being described. I understand there is going to be language used on forums one would not use in front of one's mother (I'm frequently guilty of that). It is another thing entirely to describe fondling one's self in a car with your...

    Video Glasses

    For God's sake.... I'm not censoring my kids from knowing those words (most of which they have heard before), especially not "masturbation". What I am asking is that people consider that when the topic is about video glasses we don't delve into PoisenedV's incestuous fondling fantasies. Just...

    Transfers... Tranzfers..

    Eniko: I'm not sure how things are done in Europe, but here in Australia - we tend to do bank transfers for things we have already received. For example, I pay nigh on all my bills using a bank transfer. Thing is, those bills are money I owe because I already received something for which I now...

    Makin' Mah Mmo

    Honestly, I would recommend against using Qt for the in-game GUI. The needs of a user interface inside a real-time game are very different to that for a desktop-based application (where Qt shines). In fact, given Pandora's input interfaces, the less explicit "window-based" user interface there...

    Makin' Mah Mmo

    Always good to see a project actually make it beyond the initial "press release". Good going, Eniko! Not sure what libraries you are using for TTF support. I don't use SDL (at the moment) so if it's natively supported, ignore me. I personally use the "freetype2" library in my engine - which...

    Pixel Scaling And Licenses

    OK, in reply to Tempel above, I submit the following... The reason most MMO's (and I assume this one will be the same) have players kill random monsters wandering the wilderness (a.k.a. "'grinding") and not making quests the primary means of advancing is two-fold. Firstly, and never...

    How Many People Know How To Use Opengl Es?

    Eniko: It was probably done for purposes of memory/performance. Remember that OGL ES2.0 was designed for MUCH lower-end platforms than the Pandora. I have worked in mobile phone software development (GIS/mapping display and routing and social network interfaces) and most phones do not have much...

    Pixel Scaling And Licenses

    Eniko: I used to be a member of the MUD-Dev mailing list before it kinda shut down. I have an archive of the lists on my hard-drive somewhere as there is alot of good material in there (we're talking nigh on ALL major MMO developers posting in there). I would not be surprised if there is...

    Pixel Scaling And Licenses

    Well, given the number of people advocating GPL licensing of code, allow me to provide an opinion from the other side of the fence. Quick History of my Experience: I earn my crust as a developer, and have done so now for over ten years. I have worked in a variety of industries ranging from...

    Ways To Fight/prevent Pandora Games Piracy

    Right... how many people advocating the annihilation of DRM are actually developers? With all due respect to most people, talking about DRM on these forums seems a little... weird, given that it's based around devices with emulation of old-school arcade machines (i.e. ROM's) as a main draw. Just...
