Maybe it's an idea for windows users to use mklink (vista and above) for symbolic folderlinks at the root-level to preserve paths that is shared with other resources, such at the JAVA_HOME variable.

I fixed it

1. reinstalled htc's usb drivers.

2. set the JAVA_HOME path to shortform:
ex:
C:\Progra~2\Java\jdk1.7.0
instead of:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0

It seem like the spaces in the JAVA_HOME string was the problem.

Was this issue solved ?
I have the exact same problems.
Phone-model = HTC Legend

Yes, I have something akin planned for my own project. Sadly, I have no access to the source code (probably no one besides the author does) so your best bet would be registering on their forum and reporting the laggy behavior.

Something that you could try is, so to speak, having "calm.sunvox" and "fight.sunvox" loaded from the start of a stage, the first in slot 0 and the second in slot 1. If an enemy appears then you could just tell the engine to Stop(0) and Play(1). Or, if the change might be less abrupt, having them crossfade during a little while using the Volume method, since it works by slots as well.

If you can track down an earlier version of sunvox tracker, i think the sourcecode are included under an BSD like license.
I might have it on one of my older computers.

Hi

I need this functionality myself quite soon, so I made a little function to do colored printing of a font.
Feel free to improve and expand

Chrome for daily browsing and FF + firebug + some other extensions for development/debugging at work (related to ez publish).

Another interesting option would be to make glbasic target HAXE, that itself targets HTML5, Flash and some other languages.

I read that the EEE Pad Transformer has at least as smooth performance as ipad2 if flash are disabled (an option in the settings menu).
Anybody that can confirm this.

Hi

A few questions:

I have to choose between ipad 2 and the Asus EEE Transformer ( I will get one of them from my employer  ).
Anybody that have tested the Asus or both of them ?
Is there any advantages developing on one of the platforms ?

The Transformer seems very interesting to me

PS! I already have an mac mini, so i will be able to compile to the ipad.

Be sure to normalize the waveforms.

There are rumors that Google will accept less (to none) modifications in the core code of android by phone manufacturers in the future.
I certainly hope it's true...

Even though GLBasic is great, it's really not very well suited for your kind of application.
For your style of application, I wold rather recommend Titanium Appcellerator or PhoneGap as both of them already got all the functionality you need.

Working on HTC Legend with the Android 2.2 update 

Thats a shame - a Linux version would be very handy...

I know it lacks some of the functionality of smartpacker, but for compression on linux and osx (and a lot of other OSes including windows) you have UPX.

There are also a lot of frontends for it, and it's free.

Hey Ampos ...

I can do an norwegian translation if you want one
