Armagetron Forums

Heh...sounds like I have a decent amount to learn sooner than later to make that happen.

A cool idea that Paladin had was the ability to draw 3/4ths of a circle in the direction you want to turn to do a triple? Or half a circle to do a doublebind in the direction of the circle?

Upon further inspection, I have found no conflict of interest between the GNU General Public License and the Apple iPhone SDK Agreement. And with SDL either having been or being ported to iPhone and iPod Touch as we speak, it looks like barely any modification to the source code is needed! I think w...

Thank you madmax. That is surprisingly simple.

So I have been having trouble with adding help topics. I tried using the ADD_HELP_TOPIC command, but if any part of the values have spaces in them, it reads that as the sign to take whatever follows the space as the next parameter. How have people gotten help topics into servers without having to us...

So I decided I'd read through the GPL and I found something of interest to this thread... 1. Source Code. The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work. A “Standard Interface” means an interface tha...

Huzzah! Someone who makes sense!

Thanks for clarifying that, Lucifer. I was starting to get frustrated with these shenanigans.

I agree, for now things are best left until Apple becomes more Open Source friendly. Oh well.

As a clarification, what I meant was, we would compile the ported version of armagetron with everything intact, and then when we go to release the source code to it, we would have to remove all Apple-proprietary code from the source, and state that due to license restrictions, we couldn't release t...

and the finished product: some armagetron without input neither output w00t I don't quite understand why you're so against this idea, but I'm certainly not okay with being mocked like this. If you don't have anything further to say that is constructive and helpful , then I suggest you keep off this...

What am I talking about. Thank you. Aero just pointed out that all that we would have to do is remove anything that is Apple's property. So any of the touch events would be removed, and any references to the CoreFoundations stuff would also be removed, and would allow us to keep the GPL license vali...

It does seem that there is little to no room to do something like this "legally" and not violate any of the aforementioned restrictions. :\

oic.

Hmm. That's a bit of a tricky thing. Apple is a pretty big proponent of Open Source, so perhaps with a few emails they might be willing to make an exception?

FFS. So, if we go beyond using google to try and destroy other people's ideas, we find... At http://www.apple.com/iphone/... http://web.mac.com/evan.nelson/iPhonePage.png Oh look, see that part about the App Store? I wonder what's there. At http://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore/ we find... http://web...

But there's a more important issue. The SDK is under NDA so you can't publish whatever you want. There's even some issue between GNU GPL v3 and apple licensing. So there's legal issue to fix before you can distribute the port ... Googled these topic to get more infos. As long as it meets the requir...

The iPhone uses "touch" events for input. So perhaps there would be defined areas of the screen that would be used to define as inputs for left and right. I checked out libsdl.org and it appears that it may be useable on the iPhone. I found this. SDL To iPhone! . So we may be in luck. I ju...

With the upcoming release of the iPhone 3G, I was talking with some of my friends who are more technologically inclined and they said that the iPhone already comes with Open GL installed and that's how countless games are being made for it. So I thought, let's see if we can compile a copy of tron fo...
