Hi, my friend has the Sense and he says it works great.. I may be buying it off him soon to use with my Raspberry Pi, which is exciting

Has anyone actually got their Pi and Sense talking?

Thanks for any info!

This would be a great idea however they'res 2 versions of mindstorms that are non compatible with each other. Yes, they're most likely not compatible with each other, but I'm sure you could use them both together on the Pi, just using different connections/protocols. is the pi even strong enough to...

Thanks very much!

Ill have to get one of those then... it's actually a bit annoying having a computer the size of a toothpick with a screen the size of Soviet Russia.

Just found this:

Will it work?

specsdude

Oh.

Well, it did seem a little TOO easy.

Perhaps I'll be able to use the cable for something else.

How much would you be talking about for a converter?

specsdude

hi salim- I'm also interested in this, because I have a large mindstorms collection which I'd like to incorporate into a Pi project. My approach would be to cut off the Lego connectors and hook up the leads to the GPIO - maybe not directly but through something like the Gertboard which would protect...

Can I use an old desktop screen? Yes you can! There are many HDMI to SVGA (which is what computer screens use) converters available on eBay. I just ordered this one for my Raspberry Pi. Right now I'm having to use a massive flatscreen... easy to see but not very practical. I'll post again after I'v...

Hello people, Who is up for a quick and easy bit of fun? Try out this tiny little text adventure game I wrote! Controls: n = go north e = go east s = go south w = go west r = sleep (this uses up XP!) There is also a cheat, but it's hidden in the program... 8-) See what level you last until! import r...

I don't know anything about this kind of stuff so I was wondering if the terrain is generated on the fly or if there is a dedicated 3d terrain model that is already in the game. If it is generated on the fly where are the variables (average variance in terrain height and such) kept? It seems that i...

Ok, I've just installed Ubuntu 12. I'm gathering all the packages needed to run Friendlyfruit. Hopefully I will have a working server by the end of today!

How are other people getting on?

Oh.

I was actually joking, but I'm pretty certain people would love Raspi T-shirts.

specsdude

I actually started setting up a website earlier today, but I don't think it's a problem because I haven't tackled any of the difficult stuff yet The hard bit is creating a theme I'd kinda like it if we had a Friendlyfruit logo. Then we can start rolling out the t-shirts and collectors merchandise! ...

Yaayyy!! A new person! If you want to help, that is totally awesome. You said you're a web developer, so you could help make the website! Also, my brain has started turning to mush after seeing all these 3D renders (not part of this project of course!!). I'm going to give it a go, never tried someth...

About the installer, there is this: Inno Setup Apparently it is open source as well. However I have no experience with this stuff. I really like the video! :D It's proof that the game works. I would personally prefer a 3rd person view, but that can be figured out easily, right? If I installed a Linu...

the tail moves a little too much, and i noticed the center of the wolf's body does not really move Yeah, the tail does look a bit floppy. About the centre, that's where the bones all branch out from. The reason I didn't animate it is because I only used the Rotation keyset, and to animate the centr...

specsdude

Haha! Finally finished the run cycle. Google found me a nice video of a running dog, which made things a bit easier. The wolf has been retextured a little, and can now run! Out of interest, this is what the graph of the run animation looks like: https://diasp.org/uploads/images/scaled_full_4cdd14306...

more people are likely to volunteer if they can see that we have a real if primitive game, rather than pure vapourware Well, I for one am raring to see the game in action... About the wolf, I think the reason you like it more than the tree is because I based it off real photos of wolves. The tree w...

What I personally would like to see in the game is the ability to make cutscenes / cinematics. This could be for a quest, or perhaps when you enter a cave, or travel between planets. You could either use in-game cameras or load your own video / cartoon etc. I think it would add that extra level of a...

specsdude

I like that idea. So basically you'd give the world generator a seed, and it would make your custom world. But there would have to be a module or something that mixed worlds... And would each world come with quests to complement it? So for instance, Pete's dark fantasy world might contain an evil wi...

Great news, milord!: https://diasp.org/uploads/images/scaled_full_8a88d4a432241aafc5dd.png I have finished a new version of the tree, using the same technique as the Turbosquid tree you linked to. Poly count is 470. I could probably get it lower, but ICRBB. So, Pete, that's cool about the Windows su...

Update on my tree:

I tried using transparency between the leaves but couldn't get it right. So that's my finished tree!

I'll try doing a pull request and see what happens...

specsdude

by monsters do you mean harmful animals or are you looking for a few more make believe type things as well> IDK what PeteX means. I guess you can make whatever you like really, as long it's not vulgar/offensive. So stuff like dragons, trolls, giant wasps would be classed as monsters? Although Pete ...

First attempt: https://diasp.org/uploads/images/scaled_full_d4d6acb13b5b791af114.jpg Don't think I've got the texture settings right but too tired to bother around. :arrow: sleep! I found a site called Mayang.com that offers loads of free textures for commercial / non-commercial use, check it out he...

specsdude

I love the idea of this...I'd be willing to help in anyway. Can we have an update on where we are with this? Any progress being made? Any help is GOOD!! :P Progress is actually being made: PeteX is working away trying to look like he's doing something useful I'm rigging my wolf and hopefully giving...

Just a quick question:
What are peoples relative time zones? I'm in UK so that's GMT 00. But replies from pete always seem to come at unusual times...
