Go back to My New Game Project !

Hi All, I started it long time ago, but i decided to use a game engine (jmonkey) to develop faster. I started to implement the Game from scratch http://code.google.com/p/tactical-troopers/ I make some progress in a couple of weeks. It is yet an other network first shoot person, but it focus on many exotic gun, bomb, and shield wall defends strategy. It also use a Physics engine (Bullet) to make world interactionvery permissivf and very realistic. I hope it will be soon good enough to be played with ;)

Wiimote Nunchuk with FPS (TCE) under Linux

I was dreaming of playing my favoris FPS True Combat Elite with a wiimote

This game is specially difficult to play because you have to lean and move in the same time. Twisting my wrist make lean rigth or left while my the thumb allow to move the nunchuck stick

In this video a just use my mouse and the nunchuk.

To do so, this is the recipe ;

- install cwiid on your linux box (so easy on unbuntu ;)

- download these two modules, an place it under /home/flo/.cwiid/plugins nunchuk_all_kb.so nunchuk_kb.so

create this file __/home/me/.cwiid/wminput/buttons_tce

Nunchuk.C = KEY_SPACE
Nunchuk.Z = KEY_LEFTSHIFT

#Plugin.nunchuk_all_kb.Forward = KEY_C
Plugin.nunchuk_all_kb.Backward = KEY_X
Plugin.nunchuk_all_kb.Right = KEY_E
Plugin.nunchuk_all_kb.Left = KEY_Q
Plugin.nunchuk_all_kb.xMiddle = 128
Plugin.nunchuk_all_kb.xNeutral = 30
Plugin.nunchuk_all_kb.yMiddle = 108
Plugin.nunchuk_all_kb.yNeutral = 23

Plugin.nunchuk_kb.Up = KEY_W
Plugin.nunchuk_kb.Down = KEY_S
Plugin.nunchuk_kb.Right = KEY_D
Plugin.nunchuk_kb.Left = KEY_A

- you can also create this shortcut wiimote_tce.sh

gnome-terminal -e "wminput -c buttons_tce"

if these files cannot be used by your system or if you want to customize the code : download this plugin package and the cwiid sources

unpacked both and specially the plugin package in cwiid-0.6.00/wminput/plugins directory then launch makefile

I hope it will usefull for you, I'm waiting for your comments !

Welcome and Dot Clear 2.0

Hey !

This is the first post ! To go-quick because if I don't you won't read the post to the end ;) I'm computer science addict and i like more particularly development, But unfortunately most of time finished or unfinished projects stay in my archives pc directory !. I hope this blog will help me to broadcast my future works and of course the past ones !

Note that it is not easy to find a Blog service that provide uploading of archives (.zip,.exe)! I finally find out how to do it by using my free provider php hosting (free.fr) and dotclear blog engine which seem to be very usefull and fast.

PS :The Special charactere Test ! à acçent éè @ê ï, Yes ! Geeks'll understands ;)

1280x1024 and 1440x900 screen resolution on a Ubuntu 7.10 EEE PC !

I recently install an Ubuntu on my EeePc. I plugged successively two screen. One with a 1280x1024 screen resolution and an other with 1440x900. Whereas the maximal screen size handled by Xandros is 1024x768, i surprisingly saw that Ubuntu handle both of them in their native resolution (1440x900 and 1280x1024).

Walk with backpacked EeePc and Gps

Hey !

I had a walk this week-end with my EeePc(Ubuntu Gutsy) and Gps (BU-353). I recorded ( gpsd and gpsbabel ) all my moves and convert it to kml file (gps visualizer) to visualize it in google-earth.
