| You'll first find here a list of projects that we are working on or that we dropped. In fact, we most of the time have lot of ideas but very little time to make something of it. To get something done we have to set priorities so that we release something good in the end. Anyway, it is most of the time difficult to find just some courage or some motivation to go a bit further on a project of high priority. This is the main reason why projects are progressing slowly. If you want us to go a bit faster, you may ask us to go a bit faster, you never know, this may help :) |
You problably already played to the Xmoon preview on your Falcon, don't you? If not, I'll just tell you that this was the most promising preview for a shoot'em up on Falcon machines! The only problem is that the project was down for many years and nothing new came after the first preview release.
So we tried to contact the author and accepted to spread the original source code so that someone else can continue to develop the game. So we finally have it! It's now time to start a game project based on Xmoon. Well, interested pepole can join th team: we need graphists musicians and may be some more coders; any help is welcome!
It was a long time since I last did anything on my Falcon, and I got back on it during last holydays (so you guessed it, Seb's speaking!).
So here is the basic idea: nowadays you have a lot of MSA files here and there and when you want to use them on Atari, it's damn plainful: first have to find a floppy that may be working, then run MSA, then extract the file on the floppy, then pray your floppy is really working...
Honestly, it's every day harder to find a floppy, so I said: It would be pretty cool to have some tool that would directly read the MSA file as if you were accessing you floppy drive... So that was it, VMSA was born!
VMSA means "Virtual MSA disk mounter"; you may find this name quite silly, anyway I didn't found any better one...
So VMSA is still young at the time I'm writing this, but it already works: I managed to read both compressed and uncompressed MSA disk images as if they had been in my A: drive! I now just have to make it a bit more user friendly...
So, after I came upon VMSA, I thought about going further in investigating for new ideas! I tell you about it here, don't know if anybody did anything like this... Anyway, if you want to code such a tool, that would be really great!
What I would like to do is controling one of my two Falcons with the keyboard and the mouse of the other one... So that could be a small resident program (a server) that you run on the host to be remote-controled and a client on the controling host...
As soon as you activate the resident, the controled host would recieve all keyboard and mouse events from the network... And when you start the client program, all mouse movements and pressed keys, would be send to the controled host through the network...
So, with such a tool, you wouldn't mess everything up when doing some confusion between th two keyboards, and if you have a really nice mouse on one of your Ataris, you could use it on both without unpluging anything! So, Sting "gurus" are welcomed... (you could even adapt the X11 xremote tool to get a software compatible with GemRemote)
