Irrlicht Engine

cool, I'll be interested to see how that translates to 3D

I like hot air balloons in the sky:

(sadly I don't have any concept art though)

I did see that, I kind of wanted to try playing with some kind of assembly language for once though

I put the code up here, probably not much use to anyone out of context of my game though: http://xzist.org/temp/puzzlegame/shaders/ It was all fairly trivial, couple of slightly tricky parts: - no "if" construct, so had to use SLT/SGE (set-less than, so if the condition is true a variable ...

Cool, that intext directive turns up some useful stuff, never knew about that

Well anyway, I converted all my shaders, took me two days but still it was easier than I imagined. Now I need to dig out my netbook to test...

> we'll need the Irrlicht gurus to review/approve/update the .irrmesh & .irrskel modifications I've made

Oh my that sounds awesome

Just in case anyone is interested or comes here from google...

Here's probably the most useful thing I've found so far:

> Handhelds - sure. But netbooks? I'm sorry, but i just don't buy it. Well, I'm not certain, but it's worth a try. Especially since it'll also enable me to support older PCs as well. Puzzle game fans probably are not in the same bracket as FPS players. Software stuff is interesting but probably slow...

> Do seriously want people to play games on netbooks? Yes I do. There's Intel AppUp for a start. And there's so few new 3D games that would work on a netbook, who knows, there might be opportunities there. > People with shitty HW usually don't play games. > Except for Tetris. That's nonsense.

No, as far as I can gather, GLSL is not converted to ARB asm. arb assembler is actually a language in its own right (apparently it's not even actual assembler, there is some other step where it is optimised and stuff by the driver) There's a lower level "microcode" thing that both arb asm ...

It's supposed to be more widely supported. e.g. on older systems and on integrated intel graphics, netbooks... a fair amount of people don't have GLSL support. CG could be another option, I've heard it can target arb assembly... but right now I can't be bothered to download the CG toolkit. And learn...

Hello, anyone have any good resources for learning OpenGL ARB assembly? EDIT: Since this is so high in google results for "arb assembly", I'll update my list of tutorials here - Currently I have: http://www.devmaster.net/forums/showthread.php?t=280 http://petewarden.com/notes/archives/2005...

Now has the much requested grid based movement: http://xzist.org/temp/puzzlegame/glyph_small.png The glyph thing on the ground shows the possible directions of movement (with the larger arrow indicating forwards). This hopefully helps make it obvious which grid direction you'll move along... since e...

> is it possible fixing the problem with that code:?

No, doesn't seem to help

I will just reiterate once again that I think my "reproduction" of the bug is not a reproduction at all, but is probably unrelated, though the resulting effect seems similar.

That the desktop is still visible? yes > But I must admit I don't really know what the correct focus behaviour would be for an application started in the background when another is started afterward Assuming that X11 is choosing to give the focus to the oth...

Thanks
