Took some time to test. It builds pretty easily (on Ubuntu, at least), the asset extraction is bit more involved (hint : you WANT to read and understand tools/extract.sh) but overall quite doable.
It runs, renders, basic camera controls work. But I haven’t managed to take off. Still rather impressive and full of promises.
For what it’s worth, that same github user already reverse-engineered the game : https://github.com/skynettx/raptor and this one should be able to compile on modern platforms.
There is probably a story behind the source release, I wonder what it is…
Wow, incredible news! So many memories
That’s not as true as it’s been : they’ve published kernel modules as opensource. It’s clearly not perfect nor comparable to what AMD or Intel do/did, but it’s way better than when Linus raised that finger ;)
why not? (haven’t seen any myself, tbh)
I haven’t managed to get too much time playing it yet, but everytime I read about OpenHV, it lifts up my heart. Really proves hope is never lost, and a long forgotten project could finally come to light.
That, and also I really liked the art style of Tyrian and HardVacuum designs.
I’ve had a blast playing Smokin’ Guns : https://www.smokin-guns.org/downloads
(Veloren is pretty awesome too, in a completely different way : https://veloren.net/ )
End users (so to speak) usally don’t buy full parmesan wheels, anyway ;)
It’s still alive (on alternative repos), but it still has glaring issues : as decentralized as it wants to be, it still relies on centralized services (or “zites”, 0net’s own lingo) to manage authentication, for instance.
Basically, I wouldn’t be able to eat anything that speaks (I haven’t and don’t intend to, but that’s not what would prevent me from eating a “talking” parrot, for instance)
It’s more for CYOA-like games, but Twine is pretty good and has a graph-like editor. Of course, if you want to do anything more complicated than “if (choice) go (page)”, you might need some code. But for the basics it works without.
For something that isn’t too obvious (e.g. not hanged in a museum or anything), I often come back to that picture and it always move me, for some reason :
Totally, not to mention setting a huge precedent on the path of a better SC. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely AM excited by LK99 ;)
There are actually people (e.g. https://www.twitch.tv/andrewmccalip) who are currently trying to replicate this. But from what early (internet) experts said, even if it works, is replicable and legit, it wouldn’t allow much current through it, about a quarter of amp. Still promising, but not as groundbreaking as initially put.
Even if the clone is undistinguishable from your old self, that old self has died. “you” has died. You didn’t teleport to Mars, you died on Earth.
I don’t use such a machine myself, but those are tools which I would turn to if I had :
The first one is just a library (i.e. building blocks), while the second looks more like a complete solution - based on Linux’ most used vector software Inkscape.
I couldn’t even sit down to play a game without feeling like I was wasting my life away. I’ve only recently managed to tackle this particular problem : I now play while commuting.
I once did that, after unexpectedly stumbling upon an old college friend of mine. We had a nice lunch, planned to have another one but didn’t really scheduled it. Life did its trick, and we lost touch again.
Is that really a thing? (I don’t have TV nor contacts nor glasses, so I’m genuinely asking)
Does your definition of “stupid thing” applies to tickling itself?
