Re: Ever see Minority Report?

But Minority Report didn't use touchscreens... I saw it recently and Tom Cruise had colored markers on his thumb, index and middle finger. He didn't touch the screen. People always seem to get this wrong :? http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=minority+report&qpvt=minority+report&mid=F4FCA115...

Re: DScent: Descent for the Nintendo DS

Hi zico, I've already sent you all the stuff to get started, so good luck and happy coding. Considering MIDI: you use SDL in DXX for playing MIDI and SDL is not available for NDS as far as I can tell (at least not in a usable state). I'd be surprised if you could get DXX to run with sound and music ...

Re: DScent: Descent for the Nintendo DS

Unfortunately not. Turns out a good Java developer doesn't automatically make a good C developer :P I could perhaps get SFX working, but for music I'd have to write a MIDI parser and create a soundbank and that's way beyond my capabilities. So my version will never be as good as the Alpha4 from kayv...

Re:

IIRC, you needed a card with additional ram for it to work. I don't think so.

DScent: Descent for the Nintendo DS

Hi guys & gals, I don't know how many of you have heard of the project called DScent . It's a port of Descent 1 to the Nintendo DS :!: Unfortunately this project was discontinued the same year it was started: 2007. Even more unfortunate is that the author, a guy that called himself kayvenm, didn...
