I've looked at some websites showing how Minecraft can run faster under Linux, I've been thinking of switching to Debian or Ubuntu. I know Minecraft will work, but what about all my Steam Games?
Portal 2
Garry's Mod
Little Inferno
Portal
Bastion
Blocks That Matter
Torchlight II
Sanctum
Universe Sandbox
Super Hexagon
Spore
Hack Slash Loot
VVVVVV
Puddle
Which games will work on Ubuntu or Debian? Which games won't work on Ubuntu or Debian?
I only have a few minutes to post this so don't expect much detail. This is a hardware project I HAVE ACTUALLY STARTED. It is a small device with a 2 line by 16 character LCD, powered by a pic18f26k20 and has 6 buttons. You will be able to do simple BASIC programming on it. Not much more for now, but pics later, maybe tomorrow.
I just bought the game Puddle (http://store.steampowered.com/app/222140/), and I can't run it. I get this error message when I try to start it: I tried updating my graphics drivers and disabling and enabling VSync. I also tried looking on Google to see if I could install 'framebuffer_object', but I couldn't find anything. Can anyone here help me with this? I payed almost $10 for it, and it looks really fun.
I got the new iPad (YAAAAAAAAAAAY ), a Minecraft shirt with the Minecraft logo and a creeper on it, some display cases for my IRL Minecraft blocks, and a blacklight.
As you may know, I had the idea to make my own graphing calculator (DCG-10 or Dreamcalc). That didn't work out so well, mainly because I didn't have any idea how to start. Since then, I've been tutored quite a bit in electronics, and I now have enough knowledge to attempt making my own calculator. This calculator won't be a graphing calculator, but a normal calculator, but with a very interesting function: a square-wave generator. It will have a port on it, that you can plug a wire into, and generate a square-wave. It will also be able to convert between bases, and edit internal memory addresses. The whole thing will be powered by a PIC18F46K20 and feature a 3 line by 16 character LCD screen. I don't actually have any hardware set up yet, but I have flowcharts, circuit diagrams, and concept front panel design. Note that this isn't just a one-man project, I have my electronics tutor helping me with this too I'm calling this the Silvercrop Brave 10. I'll be using Anova for the website soon
Planned features: * 4 Function calculator, with parenthesis, exponents, and square roots * Ability to convert between 4 different bases: binary, hex, decimal, and octal * Adjustable square wave/clock signal generator * Ability to edit the RAM of the PIC * (Tentative) Expansion slot for more features
This will happen, because I have a second person to bug me about this
I have just created a YouTube channel for Omnimaga. I will review calculator and computer games and programs posted on Omnimaga on this channel. I will give the password probably to big game developers, Omni staff, and anyone else who genuinely wants to help (and maybe a certain post limit). This channel is currently empty, but once it actually has videos, you can access it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/OmnimagaTV.
So far, the shows that will be on this channel are: -Game and Program Reviews and Tutorials (Spyro543) -Game Speedruns and Tutorials (Builderboy) -Hardware Instruction Videos (Keoni29) These aren't necessarily the titles of the series's, the series creator can come up with the title of it.
If you can use WabbitEmu, record your videos with that. If you cannot use Wabbit, just record your calculator with a camera.
Trace is a simple avoider game. You are flying down the screen to the right, and you must avoid everything in your path. Use up/down arrow keys to avoid all obstacles. Get to the right of the screen to win. One hit = game over. Send both TRACE and TRACEMOV to your calculator. Run program TRACE to play.
Today I had a random idea: figure out how to make redstone logic gates. I have all 6 logic gates plus an inverter, a binary half-adder, and an SPDT switch. Pictures!!!
This is my current main project: messing with a 4029. This is a really fun chip: it counts up to 15 in binary, and both up and down! This video here shows what I've done with it so far (made a clock using a 555, got some sort of LED output, and have some of the config pins wired to DIP switches).
My future plans are to get the preset pins wired to DIP switches, make the clock speed variable, and get this whole thing finalized and put on a printed circuit board.
A friend gave me a small alphanumeric LCD screen to use for my homemade computer project, but I can't find any datasheets or documentation for it online. It is made by Data Vision, and there are 2 numbers on the board: "P129-1A", and "16252-S2RP". Does anyone know where I could get some information on this display?
I gave up on trying to port forward so I made a server with Hamachi. It's just a basic server, not too many plugins, just simple survival. With Timber. (It's in Offline-Mode ) The IP address is: "5.227.240.173", the network name is: "SpyroServer", and the password is: "temp". This is just a test actually to see if I could get a server up and running, and it was successful. Join if you want

Me and my friend play Minecraft together whenever we meet up (I have a server running on my LAN), but we don't meet up very often. I wanted to set up a Minecraft server online so we could play together at any time. So I set my Minecraft server to port 119 and tried to forward it through my MIFI device: It's not working though. I don't know if I'm using the right port, or if I'm typing in the wrong IP address. I'm typing in the IP address my computer uses over the LAN. What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong, or will this just not work? Or maybe I'm just not able to connect to it because my computer is the one hosting it. If anyone could test it and prove me wrong/right, please do.
I have a really, really old desktop computer (like it was made in 2000 or earlier ) and it's so slow there's lag on everything you do, even when using LXDE (it runs Ubuntu) (yes, even just moving the mouse is laggy). It has a 20 GB hard drive, half a gigabyte (or less) of RAM, and a really old Pentium processor. Don't even ask me about the graphics card. My question is, is there any way to make it run faster (at least fast enough to play Minecraft at normal render distance)? I know I can put more RAM in it, and putting in a new graphics card shouldn't be to difficult, but is there anything else I can do? (Any pointers would be helpful!)
For no apparent reason, I'm working on a little Minecraft clone in GML (Game Maker). I only have digging, simple world generation, and player movement so far.
VERSION 0.2 ADDS BUILDING!!! CHECK IT OUT NOW!!!
To build, right click anywhere you want to place a block. Select the block you want to build with by using the number keys at the top of your keyboard.
Here is the startup screen: This is a randomly generated level with lots of trees: This is the pause menu: And here's me tunneling underground; and all the ores are visible:

I made a huge crater, and you can see the inventory system at the bottom of the screen:

What's this? A giant "HI"? But those don't generate randomly! It was built! Spyro's happy sea-side cabin.
My current camera is crap. It was probably made in 2001 or something like that, and it's huge, and the screen has a huge scratch in it, and I could go on forever. Well, I found a nice looking camera at Wal-Mart with 16 mega-pixels and decent zoom and panorama mode. Well, my current MP3 player is also crap. You can actually see the screen update. (No, the screen's not old, but when scrolling down a list or something, you can actually see a line going down the screen updating it.) So, I was also looking into getting an iPod Nano (the new kind). I need opinions, which of these two should I get (iPod Nano or camera) and why?
