X-UIDL: 905450746 Status: O Content-Length: 1462 Lines: 41 Well, school's back, and I wanted to release some stuff before I was flooded with work. The Paw (alpha 2): The Paw is a new/unfinished GUI library for Allegro and also a cooperative multitasking (graphical) shell for DOS. The GUI component currently contains the standard widgets that you would expect: buttons, frames (aka. windows), labels, scrollbars, etc. It uses a `signals and slots' mechanism. The shell component allows specially written programs to co-exist on the same desktop, using Allegro for the graphics/sound/input, but that does not mean you cannot use Allegro addon libraries. Right now there are about 15 programs runnable under the shell, most are trivial (solitaire! :), but some are a little more impressive and fun (eg. a port of my old Barney Hunter game, an MP3 player, etc.) Cavern: Cavern is just a little program I wrote to test all the Allegro ports. It is compilable (and executable!) with Allegro, XWinAllegro, WinAllegro (RSX + MSVC) and Linux Allegro. You can get both from my homepage at: http://www.psynet.net/tjaden/ or more directly, but I won't get the hits :) http://www.psynet.net/tjaden/thepaw/ http://www.psynet.net/tjaden/cavern/ later, Peter P.S. while I'm here, greets to people-on-The-List whose code I've used: Burton Radons, Kevin Dickerson, Tom St. Denis, Michael Bukin, Stefan Schimanski, George Foot, Ivan Baldo, and of course, Shawn. And Scarius, Camel saved my sanity! -- tj...@ps... >From <all...@ma...> Wed Feb 03 03:48:15 1999 Received: from mail.alphalink.com.au [203.24.205.7] by mail.canvaslink.com with ESMTP (SMTPD32-4.06) id AD29A4300F0; Wed, 03 Feb 1999 03:47:37 DT Received: from 00wangp (ppp15-22-Melbourne.alphalink.com.au [202.161.99.110]) by mail.alphalink.com.au (8.9.2/8.6.9) with SMTP id TAA16659 for <al...@ma...>; Wed, 3 Feb 1999 19:48:18 +1100 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0...@al...> X-Sender: tj...@al...

Any ideas? > Well, this is what I used in my game Red Pixel (cut down, of course): while (!end_game) { frames_dropped = 0; update = 0; while (speed_counter > 0 && frames_dropped < 6) { update = 1; get_local_input(); send_local_input(); while (!chars_in_serial_stream()) { if (frames_dropped>1) { frames_dropped--; render(); } } recv_remote_inputs(); do_ai_and_stuff(); speed_counter--; frames_dropped++; } if (update) render(); } I can't remember exactly why I did some of the things like that, but I remember I tried many solutions, in the end this is what I got. BTW, I can send you the entire source, or my serial lib (SK) if you want.
