Tilt

This is a game I started around the end of December, and its getting not too far away from completion(at least on the zHD platform, I'm thinking that I'll probably try and port it to Android later)

It is a Shift-inspired puzzle platformer where you can change the direction of gravity by rotating(ie, TILT-ing) device around.

Fireworks-made screen shot:



I think the resolution is off, so it's a bit big in comparison to the screen, and no such room currently exists.

I just got the rotation to work nicely.

It took quite a lot of work, and a fair amount of paper as well!

Hello world:

There is now a download link(I'm assuming that its okay with steve?) here

Its got most of the basic elements done and whatnot.

Still to do:

I'd like to port it into android though, for anyone who has one(possibly myself, one day)

This is fun.

I bought a Mac Snow Leopard DVD a while back, figuring I might try to Hackintosh it later on.

Of course, in my stupidity, soon afterwords I bought my hexacore AMD processor, along with new motherboard and a few other things. So no Hackintosh for me.

So, instead, I've installed it in VirtualBox. Although I'm stuck at 1280x1024 with no 3D acceleration. Oh well, It's fun to play with.

In fact, I'm typing this from Snow Leopard.


29 Jan 2011 [comment_40976]
NEW!
Would the 3D acceleration really matter on a mac?
...

I know someone who tried similar last year.
The hackintosh just killed his computer.

Otherwise, cool!

Well I don't have a Zune but I do have an Android phone. It's running version 1.5 though, which is hideously out of date. I keep promising myself a newer one. One day, one day.

I hear the Acer Aspire One is good for making into a Hackintosh, something to do with the BIOS. Maybe you could pick one up cheap. It's against Apple's EULA to run their OS on anything other than an "Apple branded computer". So make sure you get an apple logo sticker and stick it on whatever computer you run it on ;)

I'm writing this on Linux Mint Debian which I have installed on a usb stick. I am loving it so far!

It is a very good looking distro. I might have to get a bigger usb stick to run it from though!


29 Jan 2011 [comment_40983]
NEW! Super_merlin
I've heard loads of goodness for it, but I really need a bigger hard drive.

That, and I don't see how anything can beat arch.

Right now, I triple boot Windows 7 for games, Arch for daily use, and Ubuntu for times when Arch dies.


30 Jan 2011 [comment_40984]
NEW! steve
Yeah I've heard loads of goodness for Arch but never tried it so far.

Like Arch, the Linux Mint Debian is a rolling release. The USB stick thing isn't really working out for me - it doesn't remember my changes. But I am impressed enough with Linux Mint that I am going to replace Ubuntu with it on one of regular machines.

Well, I just had to wipe Windows 7. I couldn't get it to deal with the AMD Switch. I jusr really hope the Steam games I backed up still work. A 5GB download is not a good thing when your speed is 100KiB a second, and the weekly throttle limit is also 5GB.


30 Jan 2011 [comment_40986]

Oh, and just my luck. The copy of Windows 7 Family Pack I borrowed from someone was an upgrade. Since I formatted the old copy before I reinsatlled it, it won't activate.

Time to crack the activation!

I never actually download things through Steam, as my internet's too slow.

Oh, and the rotating arrow is actually telling you to set the gravity to the correct direction. Imagine that this is in a hand held thing that you can twist around and whatnot.

Not a clue. (I also don't really want to spend much time on it; this really isn't built for running in windows:P)

If the message says "Windows is searching for a solution to this problem", I would just wait. Windows will find the solution. You can trust Windows. Windows is your friend.


13 Feb 2011 [comment_41138]

HAHAHA!!! Nice one Steve!

In my experience Windows almost never finds a solution, and the worst bit of it is that it won't even tell you what kind of problem it is. Which basically rules out manual repairs.

TMoW:Mac is way to simplified (for me), too restricted in what you can do (for me) and almost no one makes cool games for Macs.

Besides you can do everything you just said about Macs on a regular computer... Even boot Apple OSes.

lol so are there animated programs that force you to buy on the windows

and I don't think windows has anything better than a mac the reason the mac has less than the windows is cause windows is the higher known product which therefore would have more free and non-free things to choose from but the mac indrustry has been growing and therefore more products and "free" things have been coming out for the mac and now that theres a boot camp for the mac you can store the safety features of your computer with the care free usage of the windows I did not imply that the mac could be run on any OS nor did I say you could do anything you could do on a mac as you could do on a "regular computer" and let me tell you that the mac in fact is a regular and efficent computer just like the rest.

hope I cleared it up

I can has grammar?

Listen, the reason people don't buy macs is because they're so expensive.

"I did not imply Mac could not be run on any os" This makes no sense. I take it Macs also don't have commas, periods, or a shift key.

19 Feb 2011 [comment_41195]

TMOW, you did not imply those things - it is just why MACs aren't really better than PCs, with Windows (and hopefully Linux..).


19 Feb 2011 [comment_41201]
NEW! Super_merlin
Time for my Grammer Communist duties.

LOL! So, are there animated programs that force you to buy on Windows?

I don't think Windows has aything better than a Mac. The reason being that a Mac has less market share than Windows, because Windows is the higher known product. Therefore, it would have more free and not-free thing to choose from. However, the Mac industy has been growing. Therefore, more products and "free" things have been coming out for the Mac. Now that there's Boot Camp for the Mac, you can store the safety features of your computer with the care free usage of Windows. I did not imply that the Mac could be run on any OS, nor did I say that you could do anything on a Mac as it would be done on a "regular computer". Also, let me tell you that the Mac is, in fact, a regular and efficient computer, just like the rest.

I hope I cleared it up.


That was to fix your grammar. Now, to tackle your facts and logic.

1. It is "Windows", not "the windows". "the windows" generally are glass things you look through.
2. You don't think Windows is better than Mac OS X because Windows is more popular. That doesnt' make sense. Holes in the ground filled with ice aren't near as popular as refridgerators. They must be better! /s
3. Why in the world would you store safety features on Windows. Also, Windows isn't what I'd call care free usage. You're taking the good arguments you actually have and turning them around!
4. You may not have implyed that, and I have no idea why you would, but you also have not refuted it.
5. "Under the hood", so to speak, a Mac is identical to any other PC. PC being defined as a computer compatible with the IBM PC standard. I believe you meant that Mac OS X is as efficient as any other OS. You'd be correct.
6. A Mac is a IBM-PC compatible computer. Mac OS X is an operating system.

Now, I believe I have cleared it up.

By programs, I mean college programs. It's a heck of a lot cheaper to just get what they tell you, because the college actually pays for part of it. Plus it ensures compatibility with all the other computers on campus (Read- you'll always be able to edit your work because there are no software differences. I COULD get a PC, but there's enough things that I have to pay for on my own. Like, oh, I don't know...tuition?

Yeah it's one thing to chose what you want to use at home, but when your part of an organisation you are better off just using what they want you to use, otherwise they can't help you if you run into trouble.

At work we are still using Windows XP, though lots of people are starting to call for Win7. Linux or Mac doesn't even seem be considered seriously, which leaves me rather apathetic - do I want the old bad, or the new bad? meh.

I run ubuntu in virtual machines though and we have it and other linuxes on some of our servers so I do get to use it there.
