Plan B: MK802

Post date: Sep 07, 2012 8:32:34 AM

So I tried plan b earlier in the week.

If you follow the movements of tiny computing hardware, an embedded linux aficionado, or are just an Android fanboy, you’ll have heard of the “Android Powered Mini CPU for just $ 65” - the Rikomagic MK 802. Well, apparently it can run Linux, and there are a number of Ubuntu-based distributions for them. However, it’s all a bit rubbish – the Mali X drivers corrupt the displays on mine, and they seem to rapidly overheat.

Skipped a week or two ...

Game Ship

Or did I?

I spent some of last week rewriting the tunnel game as the initial reactions to the game were good, and bought the android license for unity. Erk. It’s all a little broken as I had to essentially rewrite it and redo all the assets, and I got hung up on the control method. Still, I have ideas for that.

This weekend, I put some time aside for tools writing. I had earlier in the week been chatting to a chap (SteamPunk) on the unity3d channel on freenode who was doing a space game. As my big-huge-project-that-I-need-to-do is also a space game what he was looking for oddly coincided with mine. We had been given a link on procedural-based ship building (project description, webgl demo) by another chap on the channel (SuperPig).
