UFO Racer is going to be a UFO themed racing game. It’s currently in early stages.

Quote:

I started working on a racing game. I’m borrowing graphics for it from an older game I made for PC over 9000 years ago but I’m programing it again from scratch and this time its going to be 2D with a top down perspective and made for Wii.

The steering is controlled by tilting the wiimote (just like you do for Excite Truck or Mario Kart). I’ve never done anything using the accelerometer before but it was actually really easy to implement and already works fairly well although I’ll probable tweak to turning speed later. You hold down the 2 button to move forward.

Another thing that’s somewhat new to me are the rotating sprites. The rotation of the ship is pre rendered but the track is actually rotated in real time. SDL (my primary game development library of choice) sadly doesn’t actually have any built in support for rotating surfaces but luckily there is nothing that cant be accomplished with a few get/put pixel functions and a little bit of math. It will never be as fast as it would be if it was done with GRRLIB but it is already running at a tolerable frame rate in the high thirties and I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to get a bit more speed out of it.

Its just a test demo and I don’t really recommend you bother with downloading it yet but I figured I would share what I’ve been doing.

Google Visual Voicemail is a semi-offline client for Google voice. You can view and play your voice messages as well as mark them read/unread and delete them. When updating, message text is downloaded to a local cache that can be viewed at any time. Audio is downloaded the first time you click play and is stored for future use. You must update manually by going to menu->update. Automatic voicemail checking is being worked on, keep an eye on the NEW section.

Changes:

Upgraded to SenseSDK 1.38
This should fix all the transcript sizing issues. If yours doesn’t look right let me know.

New SMS Form
Create new SMS’s and reply to your messages via the same form.
Support adding one time numbers and picking from contacts.

Audio redirected to handset
Load Speaker/Handset Speaker switching is handled by DynRIL by Teksoft and may have is own issues or restrictions.
This is very experimental!
I know it talks to the audio driver so not all hardware may be supported! This has been tested as working on my TP2.
I know it doesn’t like to redirect when there is audio playing, especially to the handset. So if you have wmp in the background playing, it may not work.
I’ve also had some trouble doing handset->speaker->handset, the issue usually corrects itself if you pause message playback manually, toggle the setting, and resume the message.

Fixed
Dialer item names guaranteed to be unique, again. *Fist shake at self*
Better threading support for SMS. The thread is no longer treated as one transcript.
