Palm PDAs Game Engine? I'm starting now to attempt (hopefully successfully) to make a game for PDAs running on Palm OS. The problem I have, almost immediatly, is this: How do I get an engine for a game on Palm OS? Is there any automatically installed to work f...

Torque Game Builder I happened to see an add for Torque Game Builder on this very site, and I took a look at it. I have to ask, is it actually worth it? Can anyone with experience using it say what they thing about it? Thanks. ~Polantaris

Power Supply Question Does anyone know a program on the computer that can detect the Maximum Wattage your Power Supply can store? I cannot remember if mine is 300W or 350W, and it doesnt say it on the Power Supply. If anyone knows a program that does this, ple...

CPU Prices With my birthday party tommorow, I'm hoping to get some money, plus the money on the side to be able to get a good CPU and Motherboard combo (With the CPU already installed) to upgrade my computer big time when it comes to processor speed. Ther...

Rect Geeze, I'm asking a lot of questions, I hope that doesn't mean anything bad...anyway: I was looking at the draw class for Pygame, because I wanted to make a rectangle as a buttion...I guess that's a logical way to do it. Since I'm used to working...

Multiple .py files As any one who read my original post in the Lounge knows, I'm used to the BYOND coding language. In that language, I can use multiple code files to organize my thoughts, ideas, etc. For example, my combat code for a game is in combat.dm (dm =...

Engine Question I don't really know where to put this, so I'll put it here. There's this programming language that I use, called BYOND (www.byond.com), if anyone is heard of it, then you would know what I'm talking about. See, the programming language was made s...

Palm PDAs Game Engine? Alright. I know someone on the forums for my PDA that is making a game for the Tapwave Zodiac (Also the type of PDA I have) So I'll ask him about it if all else fails. Thanks for the help, it also jogged my memory of his game. If I do learn...

Need help blitting a background using SDL. 60 is really the ideal number for FPS, if I remember correctly. Every game I play that I can see the FPS on never go over 60, so I assume thats the basic want for an FPS. Most limit their FPS to 60. 70 is fine if you ask me. Now if you add s...

Power Supply Question Alright, I'll play on the safe side then XD Thanks for the help.

Power Supply Question The Power Supply doesn't say anything on the side, or on it at all. There's no model number, or anything as far as I can see, and therefore I cannot look it up. ~Polantaris

Power Supply Question Alright, then I guess I'll have to wait until I get my new computer stuff before I'll find out. See, I just ordered a whole new CPU, Mobo, and Graphics Card by my friend's recommendations, and I know the total Watts Ill need are 310-325. Therefore,...

CPU Prices When is the Conroe due to come out? Thanks for that information 
Posted June 17, 2006 10:16:51 AM
CPU Prices Well somehow when I took out my last Processor, I ended up bending like half the pins. When I finally got it to go in, it was broken and I couldn't use it anymore. Either way, I'm ready for a faster and better computer, so if anyone has a good pric...

CPU Prices My Graphics card is pretty new and it uses AGP as far as I know. Its the slot above PCI, that sticks alittle bit further towards the middle of the Mobo than the PCI cards. Of course, I could just know nothing about my mobo at all and be stupid >...

What are YOUR pc specs? I Like Bread: The speed of a game does not only rely on the Graphics Card. If he has a 2 Ghz Processor and you have a 3 Ghz, that will make a big difference. Of course, if you both have the same processor and his goes slower anyway with...
