    Release Race into Space

    I'm also working on a more detailed/helpful tutorial.  Linked documents are awesome.  :)

    Release Race into Space

    Have you uploaded the new build to the repo?  I still see an "Updated" date of 8 April.

    Release Race into Space

    I should have been more precise.  I think the intro movie is fine, and so are the newscast movies; it seemed to be the mission movies that gave it difficulty.  But I'm interested to see what using signed chars does.

    Release Race into Space

    It crashes as soon as a movie tries to play.  I also noticed that instead of starting you with one launchpad and space for two more, it starts you with one launchpad and two broken ones.  And when you buy one thing (rocket, payload, etc.), it puts 255 of them in your inventory.  I haven't really...

    Release Race into Space

    I've noticed that it doesn't play quite right on the Pandora, though.  I'll have to learn how to either cross-compile or compile on the Pandora and see if I can help correct that.

    Release Race into Space

    Okay.  Let's start with the opening screen, after you click on "New Game".  It sets the parameters for the game you'll be playing. "Game Level" and "Astronaut Selection" determine the difficulty facing the player.  The higher the level, the harder the difficulty. The buttons in the middle...

    Release Race into Space

    You need help?  I don't have any formalized tutorials, but I'm willing to help where I can.  How would you like me to help you?  Do you need general tips, a how-to guide for playing, or what?

    Release Race into Space

    They're mostly cosmetic changes that make the game a bit easier to play... I just tend to be a bit obsessive about keeping up with the latest version.  If you'd be interested in corresponding with me about how you cross-compiled for the OpenPandora, I'd happily take the responsibility. From the...

    Release Race into Space

    Excellent!  Thanks you so very, very much! Do you have plans to compile version 1.1.0 of "Race Into Space" for the Pandora?

    "race Into Space" For Us Strategy Space Nerds?

    How about "Race Into Space", the open-source version of "Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space" from the early '90s? Here's where to get the latest source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/raceintospace/files/Race%20Into%20Space/1.0/raceintospace-1.0.tar.gz/download Would someone more gifted in the...

    Goofed Up Password

    That worked -- Hf5 beta 1 firmware is now installing! Thank you so much!

    Goofed Up Password

    I'm pretty sure. I extracted the zipfile to the parent (top-level) directory of the SD card. There's nothing else on it. (Do you mean something else by "my root"?) Pretty sure. I'll try reformatting it. It's done the same thing with Hf5 beta 1 firmware and Hf4 firmware. Unless I...

    Goofed Up Password

    Thanks for your help. I borrowed a FAT32-formatted SD card from my calculator, followed the directions on the support page, and seem stuck on a screen that reads "Switched to serial." It's been there for half an hour. Is there any way to verify progress on this thing? Are there some kind of...

    Goofed Up Password

    When I booted up my Pandora and created my user account, I gave it a password with an underscore (Fn-y) in it. Unfortunately, the screen that asks for my password won't allow an underscore (based on the fact that it doesn't make an asterisk when I try to type that key). How can I reset my...
