Thanks! After a few failed attempts at writing a user interface that would really make this app useful (plus lack of time to spend on it) - I think what I'll do is just write up some tutorials with sample code that people can compile on their own if they like. It's on my "to do" list :-) Hi snes games!

As I was thinking it through, more issues came up. I'll give it a go myself over the next few weeks. I'm starting to think I should just clean up the source code and post it. If someone wants to, they can enter their own equations and compile it. It's just one file so compiling is pretty quick and easy. Anyway... I'm going to moving around a lot starting next week until mid August so probably more info then. Best, p Hi Peelie,

not sure if you know about the gp2x community forums here - http://www.gp32x.com/ , maybe you could see if anyone there would be interested in helping out with the gui?

cheers

Although I use this app quite a bit for live shows and also for a bunch of videos that I'm working on right now, I haven't had much luck in making it ready for a release. As you might have read above the problem is just that I want users to be able to create their own patterns and not just work with the ones that I've programmed. I went down a path of having the equations in a text file that could be read at run time but that proved to be very problematic so I need to approach it differently. My guess is the best way to do it would be to have some kind of menu system that builds the equations - probably a GUI. Doing that in C and SDL shouldn't be too hard but I haven't done it before and will need to spend time on it. Thanks for your interest though and as soon as I can get back to it, I'll put some work into that direction. Hi Peelie,

Also, Pandora might be nice - but I don't know how well one can utilize all that power with lo-fi mathematical patterns (Though, Moore's Law do apply...).

I think getting experience with that made the move to coding for GBA easier (although there of course differences!). Also - right about the TV out - that is essential for me. The DS doesn't have it but the latest PSPs do. I'd like to get my hands on one at some point to try it out. In the past developing for the PSP was a pain (so I hear) but I think it's gotten much better now. Cool that you are familiar with Piggy and Pikix - both are used quite a bit in the chiptunes scene and are great apps.

As long as you cant find a good reason to support another platform, I dont see any point in doing so (except for broadening the userbase). This app, togeather with both LittleGPTracker and Pikix is a good reason for me to get a gp2x (I don't have one yet). “Specifically, I want the released version to allow the user to be able enter his/her own equations instead of using that 100 or so that I’ve hard coded into the application.
