Hi all. I'm writing a client for the PicoGUI system (if you don't know what it is, check out the site). Reasons, summarized:
it runs on PDAs. I droll every time I imagine crossfire on a Zaurus.
it has a ncurses-based mode. With a proper face (which I'm writing with the help of my wife), this means ASCII-crossfire, which could run on very low-end machines.
It's still a few steps away from usable, but it already looks like something, and I can move around the world and see (generally) where I'm going. Kudos to the authors of the "main" clients, the code layout is really easy to work with.
Wonderful!!!!!
Astonishing and nice!
I'm going to buy a sharp zaurus sl-5600 too, so really nice to hear I can use cf from it (and play from university during lessions ).
Actualy my zaurus is buy is "freezed" because it's not avaiable in my country and in usa it ships with 120V alim but I allready have a preorder so i hope it ships anytime soon..
Keep it up!
and compliments to you and your wife
dark.schneider: thanks for the compliments and for the "Wonderful!!!!! Astonishing and nice!"
I forgot to say the code (as it currently stands) is on the PicoGUI subversion repository (you can see it at http://navi.picogui.org/svn/picogui/tru ... crossfire/, but to compile it you must put it in a subdirectory inside the crossfire-client source tree).
Another one, I found out what's wrong with my images. Surprisingly, it's the PNG loader in PicoGUI itself that's borken - I'll find a way to fix it till the end of this week.
Done. Screenshot: http://www.picogui.org/Members/lalo/pg- ... photo_view. Code will be in svn in a few minutes, as soon as I finish cleaning it up. (Please mind, this time you must update pgserver, not the crossfire client).
(Wait, who do I think I'm talking to? This thing surely has no users yet )

but I allready have a preorder so i hope it ships anytime soon..
