    Desktop Environment gui-menu test thing

    One of the Ubuntu developers did a 'user test' of Unity (here's the test results, I read about it here first). Reading it, that kind of test seems like it's a good way to gauge whether an interface is working, or to identify where it has issues. I guess Pandora is shipping with XFCE, which...

    Graphics Concept

    IDK if they did it like this, but in TF2 "the cart" (also called "the bomb") is perfectly rounded but doesn't cause the extreme lag you'd think a high-poly object would cause (I always imagined they were somehow drawing vector graphics that changed based off of your perspective).

    Duffnershuffle

    Really? Videos!? Cool... Yeah, right now I'm planning on using lossless images for most stuff, possibly animated lossless images... For instance, I'm planning (currently) on using that map (in the video) for the first part of the game, and the fog in it moves around perceptively, so it'd be...

    Duffnershuffle

    I'm thinking of making a simple game for pandora, it's just a point and click adventure game thing (I'm thinking of Myst when I say that) with like pre-rendered images of a 3D environment. I made a youtube video That actually took I think three days to make, (IDK why I decided on a video, the...

    Pandora Cube

    Well, if this console were more powerful then the Pandora in terms of CPU power and stuff, I might get it. It really depends on the power though. I would not get it if it's the same as the pandora power-wise, as I'd rather use the Pandora.... Although I did think of an idea to increase the...

    Voxelstein 3d

    It's in Direct3D so it's unlikely, but it's pretty cool (I think), having the destructible voxels and all. I guess it uses the Voxlap engine, so, if that were rewritten not to use direct3D then it'd work! for those who don't know Voxelstein 3D is a game that uses Voxels (3D pixels) and is...

    Do you play games on systems that were 'before your time'?

    That's exactly my age & year of birth actually, and I'd definitely play any old consoles if I had them. I'd especially love to have the Super Mario games again, it's been forever since I've played them. But apart from that I don't really know of any older games I'd want to play, which isn't to...

    Leapfrog Didj For Newb Hacker Or Not?

    Thanks for all your help guys, this is quite cool really. I haven't gotten to code games much recently, and not at all in C++ yet. I'm excited. I'll be getting one of those flash cards as soon as possible. I want to get an Uzebox too, but not at the same time. I wanna get like a soldering kit...

    Leapfrog Didj For Newb Hacker Or Not?

    I have a gameboy advance and a color, never used em. I looked around though, and I can't find any flash cards for them for sale, not even on ebay. <_< I'll keep watching out for them. There does seem to be a fair amount of software stuff for GBA hacking. And it would be nice to have something...

    Leapfrog Didj For Newb Hacker Or Not?

    Im on my second semester of C++ in college, but Ive been programming (in higher level languages, Blitz Basic mostly, a little Python though) for quite awhile. Going for a Computer Science (or similar) degree. Ive never done any of the electronics type stuff before, soldering and whatnot, and I...

    Leapfrog Didj For Newb Hacker Or Not?

    I saw a blog post where a leapfrog didj was being hacked, since it's only like $39 I figured it'd be a good way to learn some hacking skills (soldering / software stuff). But I've been looking around and I haven't really seen much in the way of finished hacks for it, just like that one blog post...
