Future of Oolite what do you think?

Re: Future of Oolite what do you think?
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 into schools would be a wonderful idea.
If it's possible to squeeze Oolite into a Raspberry Pi I shall go straight off and build a mini Orac case for it
BTW I only just found out about Oolite via the Elite:Dangerous Kickstarter campaign.
Not played Elite since it came out (back as a collage student )

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Re: Future of Oolite what do you think?
As far as I can tell, I'll probably keep playing Oolite till the day I die.....

I don't intend to let dying get in the way of playing Oolite.. heck, it'll give me more time to play..onno256 wrote:I'll probably keep playing Oolite till the day I die.....

Re: Future of Oolite what do you think?
For the record, I ain't going anywhere either... unless I get an invite to that Great Gig in the Sky!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Oh yes... especially if you're in a nasty anarchy system, listening to Dogs from the Animals album!onno256 wrote:Pink Floyd also goes well with Oolite!
That is one of my abiding memories of playing BBC Elite... that and Beethoven's Sixth, for some strange reason!

That probably means getting uploaded to the main mind upon death where you can play all the simulations you want to playDiziet Sma wrote:I don't intend to let dying get in the way of playing Oolite.. heck, it'll give me more time to play..onno256 wrote:I'll probably keep playing Oolite till the day I die.....

That's a great song EV, perfect for Oolite.El Viejo wrote:For the record, I ain't going anywhere either... unless I get an invite to that Great Gig in the Sky!
For the record, I don't plan on ever abandoning Oolite either. As Lone_Wolf once told me
and I couldn't possibly put it better than that .I found Oolite and it has never left my harddrive since
