    I would like a level where you have to fight an uphill battle, complete with dodging avalanches, causing avalanches to crush your enemies and riding down on an avalanche after you have beaten the boss at the top of the hill. There should also be a fight on top of a giant robot, maybe even...

    Accomplishments / Trophies In Emulators

    The point of that flash example was to show that there is a sensible amount of achievements that can be put into a game as an add-on before it becomes ridiculous. Accomplishments are a great way to further motivate the player and to increase replay value. They shouldn't become the main point of...

    Accomplishments / Trophies In Emulators

    I like the idea, but I can see the problem to detect achievements in real-time as you play. It would be much easier to just monitor savegames. There are already many documented hacks for those, so triggering accomplishments based on points/inventory should be a piece of cake. Just run your code...

    Pandora Portrait Style

    QUOTE Using LCDs in a different orientation than the intended one results in eye strain sometimes because of polarisation issues. Not a problem, at least as long as you do not know what to look for. The human eye can discern polarization states from a LCD, but normally the brain knows how to...

    Pandora Tincs - Multiplayer Shooter For Pandora (video)

    I am not a good modeller, but here are a few weapon/gamplay ideas that might help to distinguish your fps from others: - Tactical squad laser This one should work well even in a steampunk setting. It is a heavy weapon system, thus significantly slowing down the player. Based on real world CO2...

    Omap (+ Android!) Getting Some "commercial" Use

    Could you also make the camera ISP pins of the OMAP3 accessible? Simple solder pads would do, just arrange them in a typical connector fashion and I can do the rest. The OMAP3 has some nifty image processing capabilities, but neither the Pandora nor the Beagleboard seem to be fitted to use it...

    Release Assembled Pandora Video

    Congratulations on this important milestone in the pandora project! Very nice design change with the battery cover. Now you have me wondering if a few goldcaps would be sufficient to keep the pandora powered during a battery change.

    Another cliche filled ending would be giving up the cure for the sake of someone other. Althogh I have problems imagining someone with an even worse case of badassery. The ending has to leave room for a sequel. Maybe Nail cures himself and the next title is somthing like: "Nail harder. A mans...

    Possible plot idea: How about Nail looking for a cure to his bad case of badassery? Everyone thinks being a badass is cool, but if you are born with it, it gets boring after some time. Think of it as a terminal illness. You can't even go to the bathroom without discovering it has been infested...

    Wich People Already Received/are Going To Recieve The Devboards?

    How about microfocus x-ray and some minutes in the GTEM camber?

    Unboxing The Pandora Dev Kit

    Great to finally see a high resolution image of the PCB. Although I have to admit that I am a little bit concerned about the lack of test points. MWeston stated that

    Pocket Projector

    QUOTE Even without the reflectors, your math only works out if ... Adding math would have decreased the recocgnition value of what was meant to be a pun (didn't you notice the smiley?) However, I did a rough calculation and assumed that the projector is emitting into a solid angle of one...

    Breakout Cable For Prototyping

    Consider me interested but I will have to wait for the second batch first. I had a look at the Tyco product page for the plug. It looks like this one is considered to be molded permanently to a cable, so modding a standard TV-out cable will probably destroy it or make it at least look very...

    Adding Tilt

    I don't know much about it either, just that software SPI/I²C should be available: Link to MWestons post With this, a skilled engineer could turn a Pandora into a tricorder to make Mr. Spock jealous. Hmmm...

    Adding Tilt

    Why don't you just get a accelerometer IC with SPI and/or I²C and wire it directly to the ext port? Much more compact, will probably fit into the case and will be cheaper, too. The LIS3L02AL from STMicro or the MMA7455LR1 from Freescale look promising.

    Openpandora Blog Update

    Hi, I have been lurking long enough on this board, now it's time to add something of my own. Just to complete Grusos pic: Slightly bigger version I have also noticed that another small IC (previously U5) is seemingly missing on the new PCB. It has been on the left side of the OMAP, together...
