XFlib (24-02-2008) (PPC misc)

XFlib has been designed following a few principles : completely free library, very simple to use, and with good enough performance to allow you to do your games without too much technical knowledge.

Changes:

– VGA support, now works much much better on VGA phones !
– WinCE 5 support (lots of GPS can actually run the games !)
– New pad stuff added, mainly usefull for smarpthone apps
(Pad.Newpress(etc…) => .SoftLeft and SoftRight (for softkeys), .Ok and .Back, .Pound and .Star (numpad stuff), and Pad.Newpress.Number returns the numpad value or -1 if no number from the numpad was pressed (used in Skinz Sudoku)
– Rot/Zoom pixel thingy should be fixed
– Now removes the topbar when run on a smartphone (actually, only tested on 240×320 smartphones, not sure what it does for 176×220 ones)
– When minimizing the app/game, opening the exe again doesn’t launch another instance anymore, it just gives the focus back to the original one :p

Locations v0.3.1 (iPhone Application)

Locations – a native iPhone application to watch webcam images whenever you want and wherever you are.

Release notes:

I got my test iPod Touch yesterday and was able to dig down the problem Locations v0.3.0 had within 30 minutes. Nice. So here you go: Locations 0.3.1 is now again supporting (as far as I know) all devices in all versions. Am I wrong? Let me know in the comments.

Locations 0.3.1 is available in STE repository which is part of the community sources available by default when installing the Installer.app. Please support Ste by donating for his hard work. Since I bought an iPod Touch especially for testing purposes, donations would also be very much appreciated!

Thank you and enjoy!

Update: Sadly there are some (new) known issues with this release:

[new]: Main “Locations” list view is too short, the last location is only visible by half
[known but detected only now]: Search does not show any results, if the user switched on another search result page with a previous search
[new]: Massimo reported that adding more than 7 locations manually will result in the following message: “not pointing to a valid image” (not able to confirm that one yet). Just got another report that the issue is solved after the iPod rebooted.
[known]: Scrolling too much (in my case 99 times) in the widescreen mode crashes the app

Competition running time: 24th January 2008 to 2nd March 2008
Deadline NEW: Sunday, 9th March 2008 @ 23:59, in YOUR timezone!

Systems allowed: Atari 2600, Coleco Vision, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Game Gear, Genesis/Megadrive, GP2x, Intellivision, Master System, Neo Geo Pocket, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nintendo DS, PC Engine, Playstation Portable (PSP), Wonderswan, Wonderswan Colo, Neo Geo CD

Topic: Create any kind of childproof game (no pr0n, racisms, extraordinary violence and adult humour, …) by using maximum four colors only on screen at once per scene (this could be a level, menu, etc) (also applies for dual screen systems – 2 screens count as one unit). Black, white, grey do count as color! You can choose your four colors freely. If your game features music and/or sound fx is up to you.

Good luck!
