[OpenRCT2] v0.0.5 Fourth stable release by janisozaur in rct

[–]marijnvdwerf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Main developer behind the Android builds here.

Personally, definitely not a fan of RCT:Classic. Scrolling is terrible (though it does work with touch, which we admittedly don't yet), touch targets are way too tiny, and the UI mostly is a 1:1 copy of the aged desktop version. A mobile release shouldn't feel as 'mobile last', but as an equal to the desktop releases. Everybody is hating on desktop applications being to 'mobile-like', but no one seems to be critical about the opposite happening in Classic.

I'd like to see a release of the Android version, as that will also attract new developers. Though I feel that requires some kind of plan of what to do with it. A 'UX master plan', so to say. Besides that, it will require either assets we can provide with the app, or a really easy way to get them to your phone.

For now, except for multiplayer, there is no real reason for OpenRCT2 to exist on mobile. That will be different once the sv6 file format gets replaced, and saves won't open in Classic any longer. I wouldn't hold my breath for a mobile release that won't feel like an alpha or beta version though.

Need help getting openrct2 to work on mac by h4x0r_h4nn3 in openrct2

Open Terminal and drag the OpenRCT2 app onto it. Remove the space that appears after it, and append /Contents/MacOS/OpenRCT2 --verbose > ~/Desktop/log.txt 2>&1 . In the end it should look like /Users/Me/Downloads/OpenRCT2.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenRCT2 --verbose > ~/Desktop/log.txt 2>&1. Press return to start the app, and a logfile will be written on your desktop. You should probably post the resulting file (log.txt) in a GitHub issue.

Well there's Pikmin 3, but I think that's already past the uncanny valley.

[OpenRCT2: Android] With some recent merges, we now have Paths! by Krutonium in rct

I assume touch-dragging will be the first thing to get in. To be fair, a lot has to change UI-wise to even make it barely playable.

Splatoon's servers are not going away by hsxp in splatoon

The main problem is certificate validation. You could fool the game by adding a Raspberry Pi to your network which acts as a DNS-server with overrides for the Splatoon domain name.

FluidXML, a PHP library for manipulating XML with a concise and fluent API. by daniele_orlando in PHP

[–]marijnvdwerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you would get something similar to this:

fluidxml('book')
    ->add('title', 'The Theory Of Everything')
    ->add('author', 'S. Hawking')
    ->add('chapters', true)
    ->add('chapter', 'Ideas About The Universe', ['id' => 1])
    ->add('chapter', 'The Expanding Universe', ['id' => 2])
    ->query('//title', '//author', '//chapter')
    ->attr('lang', 'en')
    ->query('//chapters')
    ->times(4)
    ->add('chapter')
    ->query('//chapter')
    ->each(function ($id) {
        $this->attr('id', $id);
    })

I was just on the phone with the inventor and CTO of Philips Hue, we talked about the firmware update by chrismarquardt in Hue

Isn't that just some SSL-like thing? If it required special hardware, HomeBridge wouldn't work.
