Another quick update, development has slowed due to college work... But in a wholesome week I should be on vacation once again and thus should have time to implement everything fully, so lots of new...

Well, I've been toying with that idea, and I get a decent experience dished out to every user (granted they need 128m of ram and at least 800mhz of shunt) within 20 seconds of them hitting go. And...

Well, as you all know I'm one for simplicity and tried and tested methods... There will be 3 versions of my entry: Linux, Windows and vmdk... And thats mainly because a lot of the stuff I do for...

Hmm.... Thats says a lot more than it lets on at first Super Vegeta. Given that theres around 9 PCs for every Mac and a few Macs for every linux box... Somthing Like a 12:3:1 ish ratio (yes, thats...

And from what I hear, people are now making money making linux games and selling on things like the ubuntu software centre... (eg. Lunduke) And for smaller games platforms of choice now include...

@Will: Its always possible to make a hakintosh... Not saying anyone here would know anything about that ;) Although its usually considered harder on AMD hardware I believe that gap has now closed...

Will definitely give this a go once I get back home from the weekend :)

Make that one more person who's interested... :D

Hmm... Thats true about the windows part now I think about it: I have a few GiB of ram and never use more than 25% of it and linux uses that as cache for files. I haven't truly used windows as a...

In theory a minimal system with just the desktop environment on top of the linux kernel and the libraries you need should zip up pretty small... So it'd be like a Java VM, just full on x86 :D

2-3month failures? wha? I mean. Thats impressive, you guys should stress test for manufacturers :D SSD wise my recommendation is based on the end users experience of it feeling fast. We can go...

Or... Package your game into a vmdk with something which uses WINE and XFCE or LightDm... Just a handful of megabytes and everyone is happy :) Plus, no need for installers or the like. Write once,...

ATI driver 'issues' usually revolve around a few things:
On windows, if you upgrade to the latest catalyst and do a full...

2GB HD6670 = DRR3 not GDDR5 model, and that can result in quite a hit on performance... As for a VGA port, displayport has VGA adapters you can use... Though if its a system thats super-reposnive, an...

Silverwarrior: AMD FX4 series... Peronsally I would steer clear from all but the top of the line FX series. However, the AMD route is probably the way to go unless you need the VERY best CPU on the...

Well, heres where it stands as of now...

-Fixed some behaviour of some functions in PM_TextUtils.
-Loading maps from TMX files now supports properties for the Map, Tiles and Layers. All the...

Personally this is what I do - although I've never thought of the problem in a 3d plane to be honest, this is what I found to be my 'simplest' efficient self hauled design, which turns out to be a...

Well, windows 8 in alll forms is an interesting move from MS. I'd tested out one of their earlier preview releases on my convertible netbook (and posted a blog entry at the time as a quick 'how it...

About the christmas song thing, I used to live in South Africa and to be honest it was rarely cold enough for us to consider it 'winter' like everyone else. Winter over (june time of year) tends to...

Heck, I could write you a 'how NOT to get ready for any coding competition, ever' article at this rate. I only have a few Ludum Dare "completions" to my name :D
