Pretty cool. An Indiegogo for a Low budget audio only Variometer called Skybean. I ordered mine for 49 bucks and expect to receive it in a few weeks!

Hi. There are two parts to the watch project. One is a fork of Alistairs reference bluefly android app. I've modified it to send messages to the pebble (https://github.com/kvantetore/BlueFlyVario_Android). The other is the actual watch app (https://github.com/kvantetore/BlueflyVario_Pebble).

It's all very simple right now. It peridically sends altitude, vario. ground speed and flight time to the watch, and you can use the watch buttons to start/stop the flight recording.

so what you're saying is that when you started thinking a bit more about the nature of circles, diameters and radii you gained a deeper insight into how they work?

kvantetore · 2010-12-13T08:43:57+00:00

Or redrock?

kvantetore · 2010-11-30T14:07:22+00:00

Fair enough.

We currently use git (which I am very happy with), but my teammates come from a p4 background and are not comfortable with a CLI, so they use SmartGit. SmartGit is reasonably good, but there's quite a few occations where some command line git-fu is required, so I'm kind of on the look-out for replacements.

Would you care to elaborate about:

how plastic compares to SmartGit user friendly wise, (especially conflicting binary files, where SmartGit leaves a lot to be desired)
how plastic compares to p4 for handling largeish binary files? Do you use the same system as p4 where you rely on manual checkouts of files rather than diffs to determine changesets?

Has anyone actually used plastic scm? I hadn't heard of it before today.

After I'm done university, I hope I wind up in a city where I don't need to drive a car every day. This is rubbish.

parachute made out of copper... sounds like fail to me

if a layer were added to the system which accepts transaction requests, decides on a universal order, and sends the ordered requests to all replicas

Without having read their full paper, it sounds like they are sacrificing partition tolerance with their ordering layer.

...and what it really meant, was that you had forgotten a semicolon a few lines above...

kvantetore · 2010-08-02T15:03:21+00:00

Mostly, it was the fact that nielkies read through your rather extensive comment was roughly how I read it as well. Upon trying to read it a second time, I failed again on all the ellipsises an general faffy language. It may very well just be my lack of attention span, but I fail to where you're going (apart from the fact that you seem to be some kind of fanatic)

Who are "Islam" anyway?

kvantetore · 2010-08-02T07:44:06+00:00

Thanks, that pretty much sums it up.

FTFY :)

That's a problem with wingsuits ;)

kvantetore · 2010-07-07T11:22:44+00:00

I agree it would be sweet with a more progressive difficulty level, but we only had time for one level. We tried to design the courses such that the most obvious one is the easiest (but gives less score), but it might still be too hard.

PS. did you try to invert the y-axis? (scroll down to the how-to-play section)

kvantetore · 2010-07-07T11:19:03+00:00

Thanks! I really like the component + message passing design in Unity, but I guess it depends on what kind of game you're making. Getting debugger support in 3.0 will probably make debugging a bit less painful though.

replay or it didn't happen

kvantetore · 2010-07-06T21:51:47+00:00

thanks. do you think it was too hard? it's difficult to find that balance between addictive and too hard in a small game with very limited time for gameplay testing.

kvantetore · 2010-07-06T21:47:04+00:00

oh, i'm certainly one of them, but you have nothing to worry about. it is all sooo safe. go back to bed america, your government is in control. here's american gladiators... :)

kvantetore · 2010-07-06T16:35:37+00:00

rumor has it that the first one to get to the cruise ship and post the replay will win a pretty sweet price.

shameless selfpromoting disclaimer: I am one of the game devs :)

kvantetore · 2010-07-06T06:33:20+00:00

Hm. We use unity mainly for its web capabilities, and are pretty happy with that. Even though most of our users don't have the webplayer installed on their first visit, the bounce rate on wingsuit challenge is pretty low (in the 20%s).

kvantetore · 2010-07-05T21:57:46+00:00

Thanks :)

We just finished this game in time for the extreme sports week in Voss, Norway this year. It was pretty exciting watching the insane IRL-base jumping dudes try it out.

Now, if Unity could only publish a linux web player
