| 08:05:56 | CoolMoDee | sup? |
| 08:06:50 | Bakemono | not much |
| 08:07:04 | CoolMoDee | im looking at something cool |
| 08:07:09 | CoolMoDee | KDE in windows |
| 08:07:17 | Bakemono | cool? |
| 08:07:20 | Bakemono | how is that cool? |
| 08:07:49 | CoolMoDee | because it is |
| 08:07:53 | CoolMoDee | using Cygwin |
| 08:08:13 | CoolMoDee | http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/images/kde-2.2.1-kdevelop-hello.jpg |
| 08:08:20 | Bakemono | they 2 worst pieces of software ever...together? |
| 08:08:24 | CoolMoDee | have you installed Slackware 8.1 ? |
| 08:08:40 | Bakemono | no |
| 08:09:01 | CoolMoDee | ive been having problems with it, and not seeing my usb mouse, even though i told it i have one |
| 08:09:30 | Bakemono | *cough* recompile your kernel *cough* |
| 08:09:34 | CoolMoDee | i did |
| 08:09:54 | CoolMoDee | with direct support for USB hid devices |
| 08:09:57 | CoolMoDee | still no go |
| 08:10:02 | Bakemono | hmm |
| 08:10:04 | Bakemono | I can't help you |
| 08:10:07 | CoolMoDee | okus |
| 08:10:10 | CoolMoDee | plus * |
| 08:10:19 | Bakemono | I've never used usb devices in linux |
| 08:10:23 | CoolMoDee | slack 8.1 won't boot on my laptop (the cd) but 8 will |
| 08:10:30 | CoolMoDee | stranger than friction |
| 08:10:30 | Bakemono | hmm |
| 08:10:44 | CoolMoDee | so i was thinking on installing 8.0 and upgrading it |
| 08:10:58 | Bakemono | I'm still running 7.1 |
| 08:11:11 | CoolMoDee | with the latest everything? |
| 08:11:17 | Bakemono | yeah |
| 08:11:24 | CoolMoDee | cool |
| 08:11:27 | Bakemono | latest X |
| 08:11:30 | Bakemono | latest kernel |
| 08:11:38 | Bakemono | latest drivers |
| 08:11:40 | CoolMoDee | what version of IceWM ? |
| 08:11:49 | Bakemono | 1.0.7 |
| 08:11:58 | Bakemono | latest version of gcc |
| 08:12:04 | CoolMoDee | 1.2 should be comming out soon |
| 08:12:07 | Bakemono | cool |
| 08:12:07 | CoolMoDee | :-) |
| 08:12:25 | CoolMoDee | hrm...i need todo summer school work tommrow |
| 08:12:26 | Bakemono | I shall have to upgrade |
| 08:12:59 | CoolMoDee | luckly though, i only go in one day a week (friday at 11 ) |
| 08:13:45 | CoolMoDee | hmmm |
| 08:14:00 | CoolMoDee | do you think that 4 gigs is enough for a slackware system? |
| 08:14:08 | Bakemono | yeah |
| 08:14:26 | CoolMoDee | the problem with me install 8.0 is ext2 only |
| 08:14:37 | CoolMoDee | while 8.1 supports ext3 and reister out of the box |
| 08:15:46 | CoolMoDee | sleep time for me |
| 08:15:51 | Bakemono | nite |

| 20:57:45 | CoolMan | hello |
| 20:57:48 | CoolMoDee | what is up? |
| 20:57:54 | CoolMan | oh, nothin' much |
| 20:58:00 | [57th]cneal | Oh I just do that |
| 20:58:14 | CoolMan | i'm working on installing linux on my new DEC Alpha |
| 20:58:20 | CoolMoDee | sweet |
| 20:58:23 | CoolMoDee | what distro? |
| 20:58:27 | CoolMan | 64bits of total sweetness |
| 20:58:31 | CoolMoDee | sweet |
| 20:58:33 | CoolMan | RH7.2 |
| 20:58:49 | CoolMan | the only fairly current alpha distro |
| 20:59:03 | CoolMoDee | ya |
| 20:59:10 | CoolMoDee | isn't alpha made by comcrap? |
| 20:59:14 | CoolMoDee | err compaq |
| 20:59:21 | CoolMan | lol |
| 20:59:44 | CoolMan | made by Digital, who was bought by Compaq, who was bought by HP |
| 20:59:50 | CoolMoDee | yep |
| 20:59:52 | CoolMoDee | lol |
| 21:00:09 | CoolMoDee | hey do you have those drivers for the game pads? |
| 21:00:17 | CoolMoDee | so i can get rumble support |
| 21:00:28 | CoolMan | there is no rumble support |
| 21:00:35 | CoolMoDee | o |
| 21:00:36 | CoolMan | we were working on it |
| 21:00:41 | CoolMoDee | ok |
| 21:00:46 | CoolMan | it might get in 2.5.x |
| 21:00:50 | CoolMoDee | ya |
| 21:00:57 | CoolMan | if he keeps working without me |
| 21:00:59 | CoolMoDee | i think 2.6 is going to be released soon |
| 21:01:08 | CoolMan | not until 2.5 is stable |
| 21:01:10 | CoolMoDee | who |
| 21:01:15 | CoolMoDee | ya |
| 21:01:18 | CoolMan | please God, no |
| 21:01:21 | CoolMan | no 2.6 |
| 21:01:25 | CoolMoDee | why? |
| 21:01:25 | CoolMan | :-P |
| 21:01:39 | CoolMoDee | who is working without you? |
| 21:01:40 | CoolMan | cause 2.5 is a piece of crap at the moment |
| 21:01:49 | CoolMan | the kernel joystick guy |
| 21:01:51 | CoolMoDee | keyword at the moment |
| 21:01:52 | CoolMoDee | o |
| 21:01:56 | CoolMoDee | who is the guy? |
| 21:02:10 | CoolMan | i can't spell, let alone pronounce his name |
| 21:02:13 | CoolMoDee | is tuxbox still alive? |
| 21:02:14 | CoolMoDee | haha |
| 21:02:26 | CoolMan | the tuxbox? |
| 21:02:29 | CoolMoDee | yes |
| 21:02:30 | CoolMan | ... |
| 21:02:32 | CoolMan | |
| 21:02:33 | CoolMan | |
| 21:02:35 | CoolMoDee | the travis started tuxbox |
| 21:03:03 | CoolMoDee | i dunoo |
| 21:03:08 | CoolMan | i don't think now is the right time for the tuxbox |
| 21:03:15 | CoolMoDee | things have been weird for the past little bit |
| 21:03:23 | CoolMan | the tuxbox idea will have it's day though, mark my words |
| 21:03:29 | CoolMoDee | yes |
| 21:03:34 | CoolMoDee | i want to start helping |
| 21:04:37 | CoolMoDee | im about to start working on the sound engine for my Sirtet game |
| 21:04:43 | CoolMoDee | using OpenAL |
| 21:04:49 | CoolMan | thats good |
| 21:05:12 | CoolMoDee | then after that is all nice and purdy like, i will learn OpenGL |
| 21:05:23 | CoolMan | good |
| 21:05:40 | CoolMoDee | and then eventualy be a 1337 game programmer ;-) |
| 21:05:51 | CoolMan | haha |
| 21:05:54 | CoolMan | yep |
| 21:06:06 | CoolMan | i'm still slowly making my journey... |
| 21:06:19 | CoolMan | can't code worth crap... |
| 21:06:34 | CoolMoDee | i saw the DGI code |
| 21:06:36 | CoolMoDee | it looked ok |
| 21:06:43 | CoolMoDee | and Smoke |
| 21:06:49 | CoolMan | smoke was ok |
| 21:06:56 | CoolMan | i'm proud of smoke |
| 21:07:05 | CoolMoDee | although i havn't compiled it yet |
| 21:07:06 | CoolMan | dgi was a hack, a kludge |
| 21:07:08 | CoolMoDee | or done anything |
| 21:07:20 | CoolMoDee | what is -> used for? |
| 21:07:24 | CoolMoDee | i saw it in the code |
| 21:07:31 | CoolMoDee | i know its a pointer something |
| 21:07:33 | CoolMan | stuctures |
| 21:08:05 | CoolMoDee | is -> used for a pointer inside of a struct? |
| 21:08:22 | CoolMan | referancing elements in structures if the root is a pointer to a struct |
| 21:08:25 | CoolMan | ie... |
| 21:08:53 | [57th]cneal | For the UI, what do you think about instead of creating a UI from scratch, instead using a modified webbrowser and writing it all out in html/java? |
| 21:09:08 | CoolMoDee | mmm java |
| 21:09:21 | CoolMoDee | using Java3D or swing? |
| 21:09:57 | [57th]cneal | I've only used swing so far |
| 21:10:07 | CoolMoDee | i started learning Java3D |
| 21:10:12 | CoolMoDee | seems to be fairly simple |
| 21:10:32 | CoolMoDee | did you ever look at that code i sent you? |
| 21:10:40 | [57th]cneal | Yeah |
| 21:10:48 | [57th]cneal | Not sure how to execute it |
| 21:10:51 | CoolMoDee | it won't |
| 21:10:54 | [57th]cneal | Its an applet? |
| 21:10:55 | [57th]cneal | oh |
| 21:10:58 | CoolMoDee | unless you have an access database setup |
| 21:11:10 | CoolMoDee | its an application |
| 21:11:13 | [57th]cneal | ic |
| 21:11:25 | CoolMoDee | as it talks with an access database |
| 21:11:25 | CoolMan | struct MyStruct my_a_struct; |
| 21:11:25 | CoolMan | struct MyStruct *my_b_struct; |
| 21:11:25 | CoolMan | my_b_struct = &my_a_struct; |
| 21:11:25 | CoolMan | my_a_struct.element = 5; |
| 21:11:27 | CoolMan | printf("This should be 5: %d\n", my_b_struct->element); |
| 21:11:35 | CoolMan | thats an example |
| 21:11:44 | CoolMoDee | ok |
| 21:11:58 | CoolMoDee | why would you want to point to a struct? why not access it directly? |
| 21:12:11 | CoolMan | make it dynamic |
| 21:12:30 | CoolMan | for instance, there is no limit to the number of game packages Smoke can handle |
| 21:12:56 | CoolMan | struct Game **gamelist; |
| 21:13:38 | CoolMan | so you do gamelist[5]->gamename[5]; accesses the fifth character in the name of the fifth game in the list |
| 21:13:49 | CoolMan | also, easier to sort |
| 21:13:54 | CoolMan | but anyway... |
| 21:14:08 | CoolMoDee | ok |
| 21:14:17 | CoolMoDee | http://afr.com/it/2002/06/25/FFXSZ2V8T2D.html |
| 21:14:24 | CoolMoDee | Angry Microsoft clients looking at Linux to get even |
| 21:14:51 | CoolMan | checking... |
| 21:18:41 | CoolMan | thats sickening |
| 21:23:22 | [57th]cneal | yeah |
| 21:23:59 | [57th]cneal | Crazy how the guy already has tons of money and hes making even more |
| 21:24:02 | CoolMan | i'm a christian, and i used to joke about bill gates being the anti-christ, now i'm not sure... |
| 21:26:10 | CoolMoDee | we all know that he IS anti-christ |
| 21:26:15 | CoolMoDee | err...the devil |
| 21:26:19 | CoolMan | or something... |
| 21:27:26 | CoolMoDee | Unix is a simple os, you just need to be a genious to understand its simplicity |
| 21:27:34 | CoolMan | well said |
| 21:27:57 | CoolMoDee | i got that from some guys quit message ;-) |
| 21:28:15 | CoolMoDee | that's almost as good as getting it off of a cereal box |
| 21:28:20 | CoolMan | well, there's also that fact that windows users have been demoted over time to trained monkeys |
| 21:28:29 | CoolMan | sadly... |
| 21:28:31 | CoolMoDee | lol |
| 21:28:35 | CoolMoDee | its funny because its true |
| 21:28:38 | CoolMan | i know |
| 21:29:44 | [57th]cneal | Their selling computers with lindows on them now |
| 21:29:51 | CoolMan | god save us |
| 21:29:58 | CoolMoDee | yhep |
| 21:30:01 | CoolMoDee | and Mandrake |
| 21:30:04 | CoolMoDee | 300 bucks though |
| 21:30:09 | CoolMan | i don't mind mandrake |
| 21:30:17 | [57th]cneal | 300 for a computer |
| 21:30:20 | hfb | I tried Lindows! |
| 21:30:20 | CoolMan | you can be a user other than root on mandrake |
| 21:30:36 | CoolMoDee | anygood? |
| 21:30:39 | [57th]cneal | How is it? |
| 21:30:44 | hfb | Let's see. |
| 21:30:49 | [57th]cneal | ...or does it play games? |
| 21:31:07 | hfb | I wiped my hard disk because I did not read the entire paragraph. That was fun. |
| 21:31:14 | CoolMan | lol |
| 21:31:21 | CoolMoDee | lol |
| 21:31:29 | hfb | I assumed too much. You know, it's Linux isn't it! |
| 21:31:32 | [57th]cneal | hahaha |
| 21:31:41 | CoolMoDee | haha |
| 21:31:49 | hfb | I had to download all additional software. |
| 21:31:53 | hfb | No gcc. |
| 21:31:54 | CoolMan | oh YES!!! |
| 21:31:57 | CoolMoDee | yep |
| 21:32:07 | hfb | Subscription to download gpl'd software. |
| 21:32:10 | CoolMan | GameBoy Advance development ROCKS!!! |
| 21:32:12 | CoolMoDee | Lycoris is like that, but the devtools cdrom will install everything you need |
| 21:32:23 | CoolMan | w00t! w00t! |
| 21:32:38 | [57th]cneal | I dont get it, so none of your old software would work? |
| 21:32:38 | CoolMoDee | hfb: i think the subscription idea is ok, as it dosn't say you CANT see gpl software, and most people feel better when they buy software |
| 21:32:46 | CoolMan | bbiab dudes |
| 21:32:54 | CoolMoDee | CoolMan: GBA development eh? |
| 21:32:58 | CoolMoDee | i have a gba |
| 21:33:02 | CoolMoDee | i want to develop for it |
| 21:33:08 | hfb | I subscribed, tried it, couldn't stand it, and un-subscribed |
| 21:33:20 | hfb | You have a transferer unit? |
| 21:33:56 | CoolMoDee | nope, |
| 21:34:14 | hfb | I want one, but I want it to handle the GBC also. |
| 21:34:28 | CoolMoDee | i don't own a gbc |
| 21:34:28 | CoolMan | i have all of the GBC development hardware |
| 21:34:43 | CoolMoDee | how much does it cost to get a gba developmnet kit? |
| 21:34:52 | CoolMan | well... gcc is free |
| 21:35:06 | CoolMan | the hardware is < 300 |
| 21:35:12 | CoolMoDee | how do i transfer the code onto a cartage |
| 21:35:17 | CoolMoDee | so i can play it |
| 21:35:18 | hfb | The one I wanted to buy I couldn't because Nintendo put them out of business. Then the DMCA kicked in. |
| 21:35:36 | CoolMoDee | NeoGeo Pocket Color? |
| 21:35:53 | CoolMan | flash cart + parallell port reader+writer |
| 21:36:14 | CoolMoDee | i have a gba already |
| 21:36:21 | CoolMan | get the stuffs at lik-sang imports |
| 21:36:32 | CoolMoDee | how much did you spend? |
| 21:36:41 | CoolMan | on the gbc stuff? |
| 21:36:45 | CoolMoDee | gba |
| 21:36:46 | CoolMan | 200 |
| 21:36:54 | hfb | I have not done it, but look here. http://www.lan-kwei.com/gbaE/ |
| 21:36:59 | CoolMan | i still need to raise the 240 for the gba stuff :( |
| 21:37:04 | CoolMoDee | :-( |
| 21:37:15 | CoolMoDee | checks |
| 21:37:17 | hfb | You have the AfterBurner? |
| 21:37:26 | CoolMan | me? never heard of it |
| 21:37:53 | hfb | http://4.33.0.125/GBA/ for some pictures. |
| 21:38:04 | hfb | Internal light for the GBA. |
| 21:38:14 | CoolMan | oh yeah! duh |
| 21:38:18 | CoolMan | i knew about that |
| 21:38:23 | hfb | It was a pain. Those are my pictures. |
| 21:38:27 | CoolMan | i was thinking of ROM burning tho |
| 21:38:39 | CoolMoDee | sweet |
| 21:38:45 | CoolMoDee | im gonna get me one of those after burners |
| 21:38:46 | CoolMan | i don't want to take apart my gba |
| 21:38:48 | hfb | I want a Transferer for emulation. |
| 21:38:51 | CoolMoDee | right after i get a new game |
| 21:38:52 | CoolMoDee | :-) |
| 21:39:05 | CoolMoDee | i havn't played mine in like a year, as i beat both games like 2 weeks |
| 21:39:20 | hfb | Did I say the A/B was a pain! Boy was it. |
| 21:39:35 | hfb | I installed it for my kids. |
| 21:39:48 | hfb | installed them. |
| 21:39:53 | CoolMoDee | A/B ? |
| 21:39:59 | CoolMoDee | o ok |
| 21:40:00 | CoolMoDee | nevermind |
| 21:40:20 | hfb | Don't you hate when people do that? |
| 21:40:53 | CoolMoDee | yes |
| 21:41:09 | CoolMan | i will be getting my stuff from lik-sang |
| 21:41:12 | hfb | I spent 6-7 hours on the first one. |
| 21:41:50 | CoolMan | http://www.lik-sang.com/ |
| 21:42:18 | CoolMoDee | wow |
| 21:42:34 | hfb | I tried to buy the GB linker from them. They would not sell it to me because I lived in the United States. (DMCA = Digital Millennium CORPORATE Act) |
| 21:42:45 | CoolMan | from who, liksang? |
| 21:43:38 | hfb | Yes. |
| 21:43:41 | CoolMan | odd |
| 21:43:44 | CoolMoDee | you couldn't link your gameboys? |
| 21:43:56 | CoolMan | i got my GBC stuff from them fine |
| 21:44:32 | CoolMoDee | i saw some pictures of this gba that this guy modified with one of those PS one portable lcd screens, and also added RCA output, so you could play it on your tv |
| 21:44:35 | hfb | "unfortunately we can't ship the Flash Linker (former GB XChanger) to the USA |
| 21:44:35 | hfb | due to the digital millennium copyright act from 1998!" |
| 21:44:51 | hfb | That's a quote from LikSang. |
| 21:44:58 | CoolMan | where does it say thet? |
| 21:45:01 | CoolMan | *that? |
| 21:45:07 | CoolMan | an email from them? |
| 21:45:12 | hfb | I tried to buy it. |
| 21:45:18 | hfb | and then e-mailed them. |
| 21:45:21 | CoolMan | oh, when was this? |
| 21:47:33 | hfb | A while ago, but If I try to buy it, I get get near the end of the order and it will reject it. |
| 21:47:40 | CoolMan | odd |

| 21:51:57 | CoolMan | crud |
| 21:52:52 | hfb | You might be able to buy the Flash Advanced Linker, but I'm not sure. |
| 21:52:56 | CoolMan | checking |
| 21:53:20 | hfb | The link I gave had the Transferer. It's supposed to work with both gbc and gba games. |
| 21:53:21 | CoolMoDee | it looks to me like you can develop for the gba for 100 bucks |
| 21:53:41 | CoolMan | if you want the cruddy stuff |
| 21:53:49 | hfb | Is it? |
| 21:54:11 | CoolMoDee | i dunno |
| 21:54:20 | CoolMan | for 100 you get the small card |
| 21:54:23 | CoolMoDee | i prob won't ever develop for a console, until i can get some money |
| 21:54:30 | CoolMan | teeny tiny |
| 21:54:32 | CoolMoDee | 64megs or something right |
| 21:54:44 | CoolMan | mega<I>bit</I> |
| 21:54:49 | CoolMan | hehe |
| 21:54:58 | CoolMoDee | how much does the average game take up? |
| 21:55:00 | CoolMan | they say "megs" to confuse you |
| 21:55:11 | CoolMan | i don't know for the GBA |
| 21:55:19 | CoolMan | although, i know it's big |
| 21:55:25 | CoolMan | several megabytes |
| 21:55:49 | CoolMan | so a 64meg card will fit like, three games, at the most |
| 21:56:00 | CoolMoDee | that's not too bad |
| 21:56:08 | CoolMan | hmmm |
| 21:56:13 | CoolMan | maybe, if i'm desparate |
| 21:56:47 | CoolMoDee | what one do you get? the 512? |
| 21:57:03 | CoolMan | for the GBC i got the biggest one, 64 |
| 21:57:43 | hfb | CoolMan, Which device? |
| 21:57:49 | CoolMan | > |
| 21:57:51 | CoolMan | *? |
| 21:58:02 | hfb | The Linker? |
| 21:58:10 | CoolMan | i got the biggest card |
| 21:58:22 | CoolMan | the linker doesn't matter, it can read/write anything |
| 21:58:26 | CoolMoDee | CoolMan has something that i don't, a little thing called MONEY |
| 21:58:35 | CoolMan | (BTW, those things can read commercial carts too) |
| 21:58:38 | hfb | Transferer or Flash Advance Linker? |
| 21:58:58 | CoolMan | CoolMoDee: it's my dad's money, not mine :-P |
| 21:59:03 | CoolMoDee | hrmm |
| 21:59:05 | hfb | I'm looking for advice. I thought that the Flash Advance Linker was not compatible with gbc games. |
| 21:59:10 | CoolMan | he only buys stuff if i prove it's worth it |
| 21:59:11 | CoolMoDee | i could do that too, if my dad had a job :-/ |
| 21:59:11 | hfb | Yes, No, Maybe? |
| 21:59:23 | CoolMan | hfb: yes, you are right |
| 21:59:37 | hfb | Do you have one then? |
| 21:59:38 | CoolMan | i got the flash linker, not the flash advance linker |
| 21:59:49 | hfb | Where? |
| 21:59:55 | CoolMan | at lik-sang |
| 21:59:58 | hfb | How long ago? |
| 22:00:03 | CoolMan | hmm... |
| 22:00:14 | CoolMan | a while ago |
| 22:00:20 | CoolMan | doesn't remember |
| 22:00:23 | hfb | A year or two? |
| 22:00:29 | CoolMan | maybe a year |
| 22:00:35 | hfb | I tried to buy it 6-9 months ago. |
| 22:00:49 | hfb | I'm thinking of the Transferer 2 |
| 22:01:06 | hfb | You don't need a cart to download games? Right? |
| 22:01:16 | hfb | What about Linux support? |
| 22:01:21 | CoolMan | i don't know |
| 22:01:26 | CoolMan | linux support is fine |
| 22:01:37 | hfb | Just mount the device? |
| 22:02:02 | CoolMan | no, it's a parallell device, so you need software, but there is plenty of software for it |
| 22:02:35 | hfb | Do you know anyone with the transferer or the Transferer 2? |
| 22:02:40 | CoolMan | nope |
| 22:06:40 | hfb | CoolMan, when you transfer to the PC, no cart is required? |
| 22:06:50 | hfb | Did I miss something/ |
| 22:07:05 | CoolMan | i know nothing about the transferer |
| 22:07:14 | CoolMan | i only know about the flash linker |
| 22:07:18 | hfb | I'm talking about the one you have? |
| 22:07:36 | CoolMan | the flash linker can read and write cartridges |
| 22:08:18 | hfb | Right, but what about transfering games to the PC for emulation. |
| 22:08:31 | CoolMan | so, if you want to read a cartridge, then you need the cartridge |
| 22:08:56 | CoolMan | (ie, the cartridge is ripped to a ROM file) |
| 22:08:56 | hfb | Right, the game. |
| 22:09:12 | hfb | I want to rip the ROM file. |
| 22:09:18 | CoolMan | and ROM files can be written to writable cartridges |
| 22:09:45 | CoolMan | well, to image a ROM, you need a ROM to image, so yes, you need to cartridge when you are copying the cartridge |
| 22:10:24 | hfb | I guess what Iam asking is that you really only need the Linker when grabbing the ROMS. |
| 22:10:35 | CoolMan | i guess |
| 22:10:43 | hfb | Have you done it? |
| 22:10:47 | CoolMan | yeah |
| 22:10:53 | CoolMan | i have copied ROMs before |
| 22:11:33 | CoolMan | you just plug in your cart, and click copy to ROM image |
| 22:12:05 | hfb | Okay. |
| 22:12:08 | CoolMan | brb |
| 22:20:52 | CoolMan | back |
| 22:21:00 | CoolMoDee | wb |
| 22:21:17 | CoolMan | thx |
| 22:21:33 | CoolMan | i have a goal for a schweet GBA game |
| 22:21:41 | CoolMoDee | o ya |
| 22:22:04 | CoolMan | yep |
| 22:22:06 | CoolMan | i do |
| 22:22:14 | CoolMoDee | listens |
| 22:22:39 | CoolMan | a clone of star command |
| 22:22:47 | CoolMoDee | star command? |
| 22:22:54 | CoolMoDee | make a clone of Kingdom of Kroz |
| 22:23:04 | CoolMan | nah, i have a goal |
| 22:23:36 | CoolMoDee | hrmm |
| 22:23:42 | CoolMan | hehe |
| 22:23:45 | CoolMoDee | i should prob go read a tutorial on programming with OpenAL |
| 22:23:49 | CoolMan | have you heard of star command? |
| 22:24:03 | CoolMoDee | nope |
| 22:24:17 | CoolMan | the original starcraft |
| 22:24:27 | CoolMan | only (IMHO) better |
| 22:24:46 | CoolMoDee | o |
| 22:24:46 | CoolMoDee | ok |
| 22:24:54 | CoolMoDee | im gonna write Tetris |
| 22:24:56 | CoolMoDee | err |
| 22:24:58 | CoolMoDee | Sirtet |
| 22:25:00 | CoolMoDee | :-) |
| 22:25:32 | CoolMoDee | so i can develop a game, that should be simple enough |
| 22:25:47 | CoolMan | yeah, simple |
| 22:26:23 | CoolMoDee | then i can move on to bigger and better games |
| 22:26:46 | CoolMoDee | where is a good tutorial for OpenAL programming? |
| 22:26:48 | CoolMan | i once read a paper that said every game devver must start with tetris |
| 22:27:14 | CoolMan | so, i decided that i would never write a tetris game, and instead, started with OpenMAZE for the GBC |
| 22:27:24 | CoolMan | and, no, i don't know of any good tuts for OAL |
| 22:27:31 | CoolMoDee | hrmm |
| 22:27:45 | CoolMoDee | what are you using for space wreckage? |
| 22:27:50 | CoolMan | SDL_mixer |
| 22:27:56 | CoolMan | and SMPEG |
| 22:28:08 | CoolMoDee | those aren't cross platform are they? |
| 22:28:25 | CoolMan | yeah, they are, except i'm not sure about SMPEG |
| 22:28:36 | CoolMoDee | hrmmm |
| 22:28:44 | CoolMan | SDL_mixer is sort-of part of SDL |
| 22:28:49 | CoolMoDee | ya |
| 22:28:58 | CoolMan | i'm sorry, but i'm gonna have to go |
