Re: OASIS development

Yeah, it looks much nicer. I doubled it by software to have something to start with. No problem in having a special big font (except for the memory usage, that is). But what concerns me now is the normal size font. I am using the one for 1337 (6x5) but I find it a bit difficult to read in the dialo...

Re: OASIS development

Yeah, making it similar to the one in the series would be nice, but I think it is more important that it is readable. And I am doubling it by software, drawing each scan twice. That area is hires. So, why not have an actual 6x16 font? If you use that one only for the menus, you can restrict it to j...

Re: OASIS development

I guess the font should be relevant to the one in the series, like the end credits?

Are you doing the doubled size font manually, or using the hardware doubling?

Re: OASIS development

I really like things like the fire extinguisher, tubing, machine with display, etc... very neat :) One thing I'm concerned about is the two different styles: On one hand you have the very straight corridors, with mostly everything horizontal or vertical, with the just the right amount of perspective...

Re: Server upgrade

A PI would be more than enough to run a web server, but with the limited amount of memory and storage, I'm not sure I would rely on that to host my entire infrastructure: - the phpbb forum (with the mysql database) - the svn server (and associated file storage) - all the defence force sub-domains an...

Re: Server upgrade

The machine is now running Ubuntu 16.04, fully upgraded, the fans have been replaced by silent ones so my second half does not scream at me because of the noise :) Currently installing SSH, Apache etc... For the nitty gritty details the current Miniserve machine is a 1.66Ghz Atom D510 with 4 gigs of...

Server upgrade

So, Unbuntu 16.04 is finally out, I have all the required hardware for the server upgrade, I will tentatively try to setup everything during the week-end. It's a complete machine exchange, so in case of horribly catastrophic failure I can just put back the old machine, but basically except some down...

Some impressively sounding instruments, the sequence from 1'55" has some very deep bass line!

Re: FloppyBuilder evolution

Hi, an important thing to consider is that I did not create all that from thing air: - The original microdisc code comes from our ealier demos, was written by Jede, and it worked just fine. I did not try to change anything regarding the order of operations or timings, it may contain errors or useles...

Re: Oricutron 1.0 (EDIT: Now 1.2)

Regarding CPU emulation (yeah I know I arrive a bit late :D), here is my take on the subject: - Users wants something that works magically for them, so being ultra tolerant and accepts even broken software or non standard stuff and give a valid result is just fine. - Developers needs to make sure th...

Easter Holidays break

I've not been very active these few last months (a lot of stuff at work), and tomorrow I'm leaving for a two weeks compensation break far away for a family reunion, which means I'm going to be far from the servers. Let's cross fingers and that everything will be alright, else you will have to wait f...
