xrandr -o 2


Wanted to note here that screenrotation is possible with 770 hardware (without speed or memory loss). Let's hope to see this candy soon in MAEMO releases :-) Thanks to Mallum for telling me howto fix mouse coord rotation!

tileset/tilemap editor

I just realized that I have to finish the mapeditor before going any further with my platform-game ... making a good editor is a bit boring but it will surely have profit on level design and better gameplay ... just wanted to note that platform-project is *not* dead :-) Going to sleep ..

770 as a controller

This morning I bought new Edge magazine and noticed there's a picture of 770 but it has a analog stick on it :-) Pretty nice mockup, it was designed as a controller for Nintendo Revolution console.

Check out the '770 controller' picture here :

And rest of the mockups :

Actually 770 could be nice gamecontroller for some x86 strategy game, a controller with a screen, this is what Gameboy Advance can be used for some Gamecube games.

platforms

Here are some screenshots of platform game I've been working on. Graphics are taken from a nice c64 animation site http://www.abc64.de/ since I've got no graphics skills myself. Big space below is caused by blogger layout, I don't know why.

Oops, did I say that?

OK, now that I've been playing 'Dungeon Siege II' a bit more I can review a bit more. The rpg-feeling is starting to fade away and the game reveals it's true nature, which is Diablo2-style hack'nslash orgy. The environments, characters and the plot is very nice ... but still ... you end up smashing thousands of monsters which happen to stand right in your way. Magic spell effects are really nice but lacking voice variations. When you kill 1000 monsters with same spell making the same voice it really starts to annoy you :-/
