* Our musician alex is currently finetuning his tracks and composing a few new ones, as the soundtrack is yet not fully complete.
* The organizer is frustrated, due to slow graphic artists 😉
* The beta-tester is bored, as he doesn’t have anything to do…

Here comes a new port from Hitnrun…

Box2d is a very cool physics library that is being used to develop very cool Physics games.

Just for fun I make a quick SDL port of the TestBed that comes with Box2d, and guess what, it worked!
This library could be used to make very fun games.

These are just demos with wireframe 2d graphics showing the library capabilities, it is fun to watch.

To switch the demos, press L and R, to exit press START.

It looks like to be fast, but as this library uses a lot of floating-point, I don’t know if a real game would be fast enough.

For all those who planed to update to the latest GP2x Firmware, here is a warning.

Quote:

Do not update to 4.1.0 unless your GP2x already has 4.0.0 or 4.0.2 on it. Current indications are that doing so will turn your handheld into an expensive brick.
