Hey I have an Idea. When you are done you could put it on a disk and somehow make it work with a psone and if you have a psonep you could take anywhere you go.

Wow, that was the fastest and most blatent thread hi-jaking I've seen in a long time, but how about you save that kind of thing for a PM. N'kay?

if the game was made in straight C++ or whatever and used SDL libraries it could be ported to the gp2x! that would kick some ass right there

that would be pretty extreme

I was thinking it would be awesome is a 2x port was made.

It's entirely possible, I'd have to port it to C and use SDL instead of DirectX as you mentioned but it's quite possible I think. But it would be awfully hard without having a GP2x to test it on.

I've got a question for you other programmers: I'm looking for a good tile-based culling algorithm. If you've played Cube then you'll know what I'm looking for.

basically, an algorithm that determines which tiles to draw, given a draw distance (integer) and the angle the camera is facing (double), and the camera's x/y position. (POINTAPI)

Have any suggestions for implementing this? Drawing hundreds of unseen tiles is quite wasteful.

Anyway,
I've got the tile engine and world loading/saving code done, the editor is built in to the engine. This makes it possible for WYSIWYG editing. I plan to get the game core mostly done, then give the engine to a select few people to make the game world.

So marshall, what do you think system requirements will be?

Oooh that's barley anything! Easily to be ported on a portable.
