Oolite Bulletins

Hey folks, just wanted to tell you about this great show. Info here . My wife bought tickets for it at the 02 arena in London UK and gave them to me for my Birthday in 2011, so I was waiting for over a year! http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61A5A3ycdRL._SL500_AA280_.jpg I bought the album and o...

Tasty. Davespice - have you attempted a build on raspbian yet?

I have. Although spidermonkey is preventing me from making any progress.

If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

This may be interesting to some of you.

Thanks for the encouragement folks. It seems that this is very much a pioneering exercise and I am making very slow progress. Spidermonkey (an Oolite dependency) is still the main sticking point as it appears that no one has actually attempted to build this on Arm before. I’m also trying to juggle m...

Folks, I am currently in the process of evaluating how much work this port is going to be. I am having a few difficulties though and if anyone here who has a Pi could help it would be greatly appreciated. I have posted on the main Raspberry Pi forum here . Take a look and see what you think. It’s ba...

Cheers!

Thus my question: wouldn't it make a lot more sense to contact one of the current developers?

*face-palm*
Yes it would, are you one? By any chance?

Cool, that would certainly be helpful. I do have my own SVN if that helps. Anyway I have been in touch with Aegidian, but all I got was a "good luck but you're on your own" type response. Which I can't complain about. It might make things a little more difficult for me though, but we'll se...

The number Raspberry Pi related puns are actually unbelievable. Raspberry Jam, Pi bake off all sorts :) The Pi is supposed to refer to Python because they did toy with the idea of making the Pi boot directly into Python (like the BBC Micro did with Basic). But then you have to write your own mouse d...

Thanks for your reply Diziet Sma but I can’t help feeling that words are being put in my mouth. What I said was that I think this needs the support of the Oolite developers, which is not the same as saying that they must drop everything and do the work. That would be tremendously arrogant. Perhaps I...

I'm going to leap into the fray with my first post to this forum! I've just received a new Raspberry Pi today and it's got 512Mb RAM. All the new Model B boards from 15th Oct 2012 have 512MB as standard. Hopefully that solves the memory issue! I certainly agree that getting it onto the R-Pi and int...

Back to wireframe? Coloured / shaded polygons I meant (like Arc Elite). I’m not looking to damage the game, I’m just trying to think of ways that we could fit the game inside the limited memory footprint that the Raspberry Pi has :? The other option is to reduce the texture resolution maybe? I don’...

It's just everyone keeps quoting triangulation as one of the main problems. Obviously RAM on the RPi is a big issue. Also having done a quick search, one of the major problems seems to be a rewrite of the vertex/fragment shader pipeline. Sorry I just assumed all the models would have loads of quads...

I leave you with this thought. David created the raspberry PI to make access to computers affordable so there is a possibility of a second Renascence in programming. Give the children the toys and they WILL play. We have a game, but that's just there to get people interested. The REAL game is the s...

With regards to a pi port - i really think it would be great to get oolite running on the raspbian distro rather than fire up the old arc elite. I agree with xzanfr. Oolite would be ideal for Raspbian, as it is currently their recommended distribution. Running ARC Elite again would be fun for a nos...
