Hmmm, quick rundown of installs. Home: Laptop with Ubuntu and a Lunar linux install I've been playing with Laptop with XP (games and Visual Studio since I can't figure out how to dev for the BlackJack otherwise) gp2x with base firmware. Desktop back home which probably has XP on it since it's...

Some friends and I were talking about this and the name, "Tausukete Hime" came up as a term for all the helpless princess types in video games. Thought I'd share.

If your goal is to not use the same item twice in a row, wouldn't it be better to remove the previously selected item from the holder, and swap it back in once a new item is selected? (new item is removed from list of course) This could also be extended by making the "previously selected item"...

First, aaaaw yea uplink, awesome game. A crazy idea I had based on TheMonkey's idea of a useless (but cool) slow elimination of random sectors, what if at a certain point of scanner development it started clearing sectors as you flew through them (only the lowest or next-to lowest level of...

Please, Please, Please, Please have non-pointer navigation! I don't know if it is supported or not b/c in the video the pointer was used for everything, but I don't intend to be using the touchscreen all that much and would prefer in general to pretend that the device doesn't have one.

Ok, Threw together a patch to fix the diagonal cases. Grab it at http://azmodean.polehammer.com/starfighter_mouse_patch.zip The zip file includes a patch file and a copy of the new cpp file. If you don't know how to use patches, just compare the oldfile with the new one and make the changes...

Nice, the resized graphics look great, it's what it's supposed to look like. I'm digging out my project folder now and I'll see about at least adding diagonal movement on the menus,possibly slow it down some too, cursor movement seems a bit fast.

The "no diagonal movement" thing is my fault, I'll see about making a patch to correct that and send it to Farox. I have a F100, so I can't test anything touchscreen related though :P The other part sounds like a resizing issue.

Glad to see someone picking this up, I was able to get a working port pretty easily, but due to the resizing artifacts "playable" might be a bit of a stretch. The main reason I stopped working on it was that the path forward that I could see was manually resizing the sprites, and I'm completely...

Just an idea or two: addressing the issue of becoming disoriented when crossing sector boundaries: The problem I run into is when I need to cross a boundary, I zoom way out, then when I zoom into the adjacent sector I lose track of which system I intend to zoom into, a simple fix may be to...

Another vote for battery life being a huge issue, just this past weekend I had a whole batch of new games to try out on my gp2x, got them on the SD card, played through a few, then my batteries cut out. "No problem", I thought, "this is why I keep another pair in the charger". So I swapped...

Kudos and a small suggestion. Awesome game, this is precisely the kind of out-of-the-box design that can allow a small game developer to release a game that rivals less inventive games that have had far more resources poured into them. I particularly like how you get a sense of the vast amount...

Another game idea, implement some kind of worms-like game where you fire (one, a small number of?) shot(s) at (a/some) target(s) in a 2d ballistic trajectory, with just a few seconds to get a hit. Increasing difficulty could include smaller blast from shot, slower moving shot, multiple targets...

okay, here's a solution inspired by Guben's idea, but basically all with bit-shifting. Not sure how it stacks up agains the other contenders, but it's pretty fast. O(n) where n is number of digits till the first 0 following a 1, also cache-able I think CODE #include "stdio.h" /*...

For the title music of course "the best submission will win" and be at least the default (if the alternates are even included), but is there any real reason to just have one set of win/lose tracks? I personally would prefer to have it cycle through a few different tunes to indicate win/loss...

A few things: Custom solution: NO There is no reason to try and reinvent the wheel here, as has been pointed out many times, there are actually repositories of linux-arm packages which we should be able to just use. Also there are many, many apps written for existing systems, not just clients...

Hmm, since I and many of my friends are software engineers, it takes a bit more nerdiness than the usual to even have something register as unusual (math/programming/dnd/scifi/fantasy/meme jokes and references are the norm among my friends, so it takes something a little extra) For example, I...

But then you'd lose backwards compatibility with all the great GP32, gp2x, WIZ, and Pandora apps.... :D

I thought the regular USB port (non -OTG) didn't do low-speed?
