NHL: Last-place Flames burn up Red Wings 4-1
DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings' win over the red-hot St. Louis Blues last week seems like a distant memory now after back-to-back losses to cellar dwellers of their respective divisions.
This time it was to the last-place team in the Northwest Division that Detroit fell to, the Calgary Flames, 4-1 Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena.
"I think this game was disappointing," Henrik Zetterberg said. "We forgot about that game in Columbus. We had a chance today to play a little better. We played alright in the second, but when they got the third one there late that was a tough one for us. I think we couldn't score goals. That was the thing today. We had chances."
On Saturday the Wings lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are last in the Central Division, 4-2.
The Flames got power play goals from Curtis Glencross and Mark Giordano and other tallies from Jarome Iginla and Dennis Wideman. Miikka Kiprusoff made 19 saves before leaving after two periods due to an injury and Leland Irving stopped all six shots he faced.
Detroit's lone goal came from Johan Franzen, on the power play, while Jimmy Howard made 19 saves.
"Howie's been solid for us every game," Niklas Kronwall said. "He gives us a chance to win every night and that's all you can ask. It's tough for him when we spot them goals, goals that he can't do anything about, really. He's doing everything and more for us, to give us a chance. I don't think any of the games have been on him whatsoever. We have to find a way to play a lot better."
It's also the second straight game the Wings trailed 3-1 heading into the third period.
"We had opportunities, but didn't capitalize on them," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "I didn't think we were terrible, but catch-up hockey is losing hockey. You can't start from behind. You've got to start from ahead. That's what you've got to do. You want to be playing right from the get-go. We've got to continue to improve, that's all there is to it."
After the Wings' Jordin Tootoo and Steve Begin finished off a fight less than three minutes into the game, Iginla put the Flames on the board whacking home a loose puck that Howard was unable to put his glove on. Continued...
Calgary doubled its lead taking advantage of a 5-on-3 power play with Jonathan Ericsson (interference) and Kyle Quincey (tripping) in the box.
It took all of 19 seconds before Glencross worked his way behind Zetterberg and redirected in a perfect pass from Mike Cammalleri that Howard had no chance on.
"They came in and got two goals, they were pretty fast in the first," Zetterberg said. "We dug ourselves a hole and tried to dig out. We got one there from the Mule. When they got the third one late in the second it kind of killed any momentum. We really couldn't find a way to get it back in the third."
Franzen scored just 31 seconds into the Wings' second power play of the game, backhanding a backhand pass from Henrik Zetterberg and lifting it top shelf.
"A lot of teams are doing a good job nowadays staying inside and shutting the other team down," Kronwall said. "They just keep the puck in front of you. They don't really have to do anything. First and foremost we have to have a better start, not spot them any goals. It's more fun to have the puck and be in control instead of the other way around."
Just seconds after Franzen's goal, Ericsson hauled down Iginla cutting in on goal and he was awarded a penalty shot. Howard didn't go for any of Iginla's head fakes and made the stop with his left pad.
Detroit had a great chance to tie things up right after the Howard stop on Iginla, but once again failed to convert on the power play, which the Wings were 1-for-4 on.
Then after the Wings killed off a Calgary power play late in the second period, Wideman found a shooting lane and flung a shot through a screen that beat Howard blocker side with just 23.1 seconds left to put the Flames back up by two.
"A seeing-eye puck, (Todd Bertuzzi) missed the lane and obviously Howie didn't see it and it went right under his arm or something, I'm not sure where it went," Babcock said. "That was a big blow to us. I thought we got regrouped and there was still opportunity. There was lots of hockey left. We were doing good things, we just didn't score."
Calgary did a nice job of keeping the Wings to the outside in the final 20 minutes to protect its backup goalie. Continued...
"We couldn't get inside pressure on them at all and when we took the shot they always had a guy in the lane or a second guy in the lane, so we had a tough time getting pucks to the net," Kronwall said. "We have to find a way to get the job done."
Giordano added the Flames' second power play goal of the night with four minutes to play.
"We got a lot of first chances, but we just have to find a way to get those second bounces," Zetterberg said. "The puck was bouncing there a few times, but their sticks were there before ours first."

I was wondering of any of you guys can give me a little bit more information on this model, particularly the specs and the value.
i dont know about them, and i know of no major cerwin vega fans on this forum per say. i could be wrong. wait a while and see if anyone chimes in.
if you get no info, you might want to give the guys over at Audiokarma.org a shout. I know there are some cerwin vega fans there.

They look like your typical Cerwin Vega club speakers from the 80's :)
Ludicrous gibs!
A friend of mine had a set of those. 80's vintage. I don't know the specs, but very sloppy bass and lots of it, and harsh highs.
In my opinion, great for parties, not for serious listening. No offense intended.

As loud, obnoxious, and unrefined sounding as a speaker could possibly be.
Some of the WORST sounding, big name speakers out there.
Have your children build you a pair of speakers at Playskool. It'd be cheaper and the sonic results about the same as C-V.
More questions?

The cabinets would make for nice kindling during the winter months, and the magnets could be used as paperweights or doorstops. I guess the cones could be used to make some drumheads for the kids.

You guys have your head so far up each others ass that you don't know dick about ****.
I have a pair of at-15's, Have had them a long long time. As far as rock out speakers go, there really is no equal in the price range. They are indeed lacking in the high end, but that's not really what they were designed to do. They were designed to play loud and hard, and they do it well.
A used pair of at-12's will fetch about 125 on craigslist, at-15's around 200.

One more thing (and it's a note of caution): Where did D. Hill come from in '96? Where did S. Fraser come from in 2008? Who prior to the 2009 season saw Jeter at 10.6x? Athletes resurge and sometimes "come from nowhere"; we have to make allowance for THAT athlete who defies expectations, and as of right now, NONE of us has identified that athlete. Who is THAT athlete?
My crazy, wild sub-11 pick for 2011...J. Williams (GBR) (why? because she will have a Lemaitre type schedule for 2011, imo; close to home and/or select competitions w/ big girls)
I submit that the athlete is Alexandria Anderson. Think about it. She was 4th in US champs in '09; ran a blazing 2nd leg at Worlds before the baton mishap (was hurt throughout the '09 European season) Had a major medical issue in '10 and didn't make it all the way back. Now she's healthy again for the first time since June '09. She's run well indoors (7.12) and is known as a closer, not a starter. So when she runs that well in a 60, her 100 is going to be much better than it has been in the past. And much better than 11.01 is not 10.97. It is in the mid 10.80's. And she is consistent when she hits a certain time, so expect her to run in the 10.90 range then break some big one's. Thoughts?

Event will offer helping hand to Cumbrian construction industry
Published at 05:41, Monday, 25 June 2012
Construction companies are being invited to a free event in Cumbria tomorrow which could help bring them grow and win new contracts.
The one day conference will also look at the Green Deal, tender applications, building regulations and other hot topics in the construction industry.
The event has been orgranised by Cumbria Rural Enterprise Agency and aimed at construction businesses and their supply chain.
The Keynote speaker will be Martin Brown from Fairsnape who will talk about how to improve tender applications and understanding how social media can be used effectively to build your network for a successful bid.
Rod Hughes from 2030 Architects will be discussing the changes to Part L building regulations, Roland Hill are the case-study company of the day talking about how they have developed their businesses, an overview of renewable technologies and how CREA has assisted them.
This will be followed by breakout sessions on the benefits of EMS; a demonstration of aerial surveying technology by Walker Ellis; discussion of the next step in Site Waste Management Plans by Thomas Armstrong's and a talk on how vehicle tracking technology can improve efficiency.
The afternoon will be introduced by Phil Jardine from Britain's Energy Coast Business Cluster followed by a repeat of the breakout sessions so delegates have the chance to get as much information as possible. The day will be concluded by Martin Brown discussing the Green Deal and how construction companies can prepare themselves and be in the best possible position to win work in Cumbria. There will be a chance for networking and discussions with the speakers throughout the day and lunch will be provided. The event will take place at Lakes College, West Cumbria, in the new, state of the art SEN Centre.
To book on to the event please visit www.cumbriaben.com or call 01768 891555. If you would like to exhibit for free at the event please book in advance.

"Do Not buy Goodman!"
We just purchased a Goodman a/c about a month. Not even have chance to enjoy a cool summer, the compressor is having problems. The distributor only allows us to change the parts; however, we have lost confidence in the brand.

Purchase a Goodman 2.5 ton unit on the recommendations of our local ac provider and never again. Almost since day 1 we have continuous problems, anywhere from being extremely loud, (they just are), inefficient, coil condenser replaced, freezes up and they put a hair dryer unit to prevent it from freezing, leaks freon and all this in between the 2 times a year we pay to have the unit routinely inspected. Goodman gives a one year labor warranty and 10 year parts - but the labor now is actually more than the parts so it is an extremely expensive proposition. And a word to Unhappy in Dallas - we wrote the company several times -via mail and us mail, and we were told sometimes people get lemon units - guess it was just our luck - and basically too bad. They would not back up their unit in any form, shape or manner after the one year labor was over - tough luck for us. Never again - at 3 years we are actually thinking of dumping the unit - even in a recession, and going with another unit preferably York or Trane.

"2 ton units 16 seer"
My 2 units have been in place since March. Hot weather hit North Carolina early and it has remained hot. I replaced 2 Trane units, their slogan is nothing runs like a Trane, those units lasted 25 years. If the Goodman continues that long we can add Goodman runs like a train and cheaper. Very satisfied and would go Goodman again as well as recommend. I got a local contractor to beat my internet price and his installation cost was very reasonable and professional.

"Topeka HVAC"
I have been in the heating and cooling industry for almost 25 years and can't believe the reviews on this brand of equipment. If you look closely at the reviews you will see that it has been the company servicing them that is the problem not the manufacturer. There are a lot of hack company's out there and service men that don't give a hoot and this gives the good ones a bad name. Goodman has changed the design of there systems in the past five years to the better, they have great technical support, they have warrantied a noisy heat pump that was over 1 1/2 years old (paid us to change the unit) and there was no charge to the customer. The customer loves the unit now. Bottom line is: it is not the system that is the problem it is the service company's that are. Reading about a capacitor that blows up and this means that you need a new unit, B.S. With the record temperatures we have had capacitors have taken a beating this year. How about the lady who replaced 7 indoor coils, the service company can't find the correct problem. Could be airflow, blower speed set up, poor duct design: that company needs to move on to do something else. I hold Goodman feet to the fire when problems arise and they have always responded to take care of my customers. Like I said,it is not the equipment it is the company who installs and services the equipment that you are partnering with and if they can't take care of you and make it right they don't know what they are doing and it is time to find someone who can.

Wished I would have read these reviews before my technician talked me into this. Apparently I've actually had better luck than many. Ours died at 5 years and 2 months with a 5 years warranty. Pay the extra and stay clear of this brand. Repairs this season are close to $1000 and I'm still stuck with this crappy unit. Everything you've read is true!!!

"five years and the fan quit working"
The Goodman ac unit came installed in a new home. One year later it stopped blowing cool air, four years after that the fan broke. I am stuck paying $99.00 for diagnostic work and then additional $500.00 for repairs. Goodman is selling a product that they know is a piece of crap. Talk about unjust enrichment.

"Had an issue with the Goodman thermostat"
We bought our new house in December 2007 and had an issue with the Goodman thermostat before we even moved in. The house was freezing every time we went to look at the progress. The builder had the furnace/ac installer to the house at least five times before they finally realized that the thermostat computer panel was faulty. (The installer would put in a new fuse and soon after they left, the fuse would blow again) Last week my ac stopped working. After a $93 charge to access the problem, the "free" compressor was installed and I was charged $610 in labor and freon charges. After reading all the complaints, I see that this is not an isolated problem. How can this company still be in business? How do you file a class action suit?

"Goodman Unit Dead After 2 years... Do not buy!"
I replaced a 19 year old ac Unit and Air Handler with a Goodman Unit to keep up the expensive repairs. I immediately put a service contract on the unit and had it serviced 3 times a year. The ac was blowing hot I had freon pumped it lasted one day we found the coil had a leak a week later unit was blowing hot had the system checked the compressor was bad. I have several properties and have replaced units before but not this quick. We spent $2,000 fixing this two year old unit. Goodman will warranty parts I could deal with one part being bad but having the coil and compressor go bad in 2 years is unacceptable. Do not buy Goodman products.

"Goodman is Bad"
Two year old unit has had 10 service calls for various problems. Latest problem is the unit won't blow air colder than 78 degrees if the outside temperature is over 100 (all summer in Texas). Technicians say the freon levels and everything on the unit checks out and this condition is normal. Old, cheap unit this Goodman replaced didn't have a problem keeping house cool when it was 107 degrees. Replaced the old unit hoping for better energy efficiency. Not with a Goodman! Have sent complaints to Goodman website, their responses are basically "Oh, well, live with it". Never buy a Goodman.

"Quality isn't good"
I purchased a new Goodman unit in April, 2010. It worked okay the first summer. The heater worked okay last winter. However, this summer, the a/c repairman (a good friend of mine that's been in the business 27+ years) has been out 5 times. The 2nd time, we had to replace the compressor. This time (mid-August.), the coils are leaking freon and the dryer filters are clogged (he replaced them in June with the compressor). In his (and my) opinion, the entire unit is a lemon and needs to be replaced but Goodman won't do it. They want to continue throwing their inferior parts and my money at the problem. At least the parts are warranted for 10 years.

Traffic light poles on Mayfair Road are unusually bulky
Issue: A reader wants to know why the new stoplight posts on Mayfair Road are so bulky.
Status: Elizabeth Schneider, signal operating engineer for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, said WisDOT has been installing monotube poles that are strong enough to hold longer arms so a signal head can hang above each lane.
She also gave me an update about the signal timing along Mayfair Road, which I wrote about a few weeks ago. As I explained then, the new signals are on an adaptive system that collects data from the pavement. They are currently collecting data to determine the best timing. The data collection will be done in February and the adaptive system will then be turned on, Schneider explained.
Schneider added that, overall, the timing of the signal cycle along Mayfair is now longer in order to allow more cars to get through on each green light. The green light last longer for all directions, so even though there may be a longer wait, once the light turns green, more cars are able to get through.

Robin, the whole yard is gorgeous! You are very talented in pairing flowers together. Do you find it hard to pick your annuals though? For some reason I find it such a huge decision. Plus when I go to the flower stores I see so many things that I want that I never planned on buying. And my whole pre-planned skecth goes out the window.
very nice place..and very nice blog..I simply arrive across your blog and believe this is really a great post i enjoy looking at and give me personally a few great info for the concern. i also know a very good site for Deck Fence at willefordfence(.)com...!!Robin - this is all amazing! And beautiful. I know it must be a bit(!) of work but it's just stunning. And if you're at all like me, I don't mind the work because it's my time to zone out and clear my head. Love your raised beds and I'm so impressed you're growing corn (along with everything else). I have very limited vegetable experience but hope this year I might have a raised bed or two. Once the snow stops falling...sigh. :-)

We have rain, rain, and I know spring will be here soon. I have weeds and a few spring flowers coming! What a beautiful garden. I was looking at your white enamel and red trim pan by the pictures. What I did , I found one free at a garage sale, so I taped it of around the edges and flat part of the pan I spray painted with chaulk board paint. I sat it on top of my washer and write notes or pray for someone on it. I am enjoying your blog! thankyou

Version 192 (modified by evans, 17 months ago) (diff) |
Table of Contents
This page documents how 0 A.D. might be ported to the Android platform.
- Set up a generic Android NDK build environment.
- Find and adapt replacement libraries for every dependency in the PC edition.
- Port graphics and sound to OpenGL ES and OpenSL ES, respectively.
- Come up with a suitable UI for mobile devices.
- Implement the new UI on Android.
- Build the package with Android NDK and SDK.
- Publish the package on Android Market.
- Rock.
The port is very much a work-in-progress. If you are technically inclined and want to help out, follow the steps under the Implementation section below, read the error output generated by the compiler, and suggest solutions here or on the forum.
Target devices
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
- 720×1280 px at 316 ppi
- !16:9 aspect-ratio
- 16M colors
- Multi-touch, capacitive touchscreen
- 1.2 GHz TI OMAP 4460 ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core CPU
- 307 MHz PowerVR SGX540 GPU
User interface
Due to the vastly different controls and form factor, the whole user interface of the game needs to be rethought.
In the following, each control primitive is summarized as a bullet point.
We will use the following terminology for basic gestures:
A swipe is a single-point touch motion.
A pinch is a two-point touch motion.
Camera panning is performed by applying inverse swipe gestures on the screen:
- Swipe down - pan camera forward.
- Swipe up - pan camera backwards.
- Swipe left - pan camera right.
- Swipe right - pan camera left.
The further from the center of the screen the swiping motion begins, the faster the panning will be.
Camera rotation is performed by applying a circular pinch gesture on the screen:
- Pinch clockwise - rotate camera counter-clockwise.
- Pinch counter-clockwise - rotate camera clockwise.
When the circular gesture is complete, the camera shall have completed a full rotation.
Camera zoom is performed by applying a pinching gesture on the screen:
- Pinch in - zoom out.
- Pinch out - zoom in.
The camera may also be panned by touching near the edge of the screen:
- Touch near edge of screen - pan camera in the direction of the given edge.
The camera may also be panned by touching a position on the minimap:
- Touch position on minimap - pan camera to the corresponding position on the map.
Entity selection
If an entity is tapped once, the entity is immediately selected.
- Single-tap entity - immediately select entity.
If touch is applied to the game world for more than ~0,25s, a brief tactile feedback vibration is played, and the interface enters 'selective mode.'
- Touch game world for more than ~0,25s - enter 'selective mode' and play brief tactile feedback vibration.
While in selective mode, a bounding box is drawn with one corner where the touch point was when the mode began ('start position') and the opposite corner where the touch point currently is ('end position'').
While in selective mode, the camera pans slowly in the direction from the start position to the end position. The further the touch point currently is from the point on the screen where it was when the mode began, the faster the camera pans.
When touch is released in selective mode, all units within the drawn bounding box are selected.
Unit orders
If a position in the game world is double tapped, the selected unit is ordered to apply its context-dependent primary action to the position.
- Double-tap position in game world - apply selected unit's primary action to the position.
Input events
As far as I understand from the wiki, handlers for input events are specified in XML and JavaScript. So I am wondering if it would be a possibility to simply add a range of new events (e.g. TouchDown, TouchUp, etc.) for the engine to handle? Then the port could simply be supplied with a new set of XML and JavaScript files for the UI, but retain most everything else.
The game's input events originate from SDL, so the real question is does SDL support these Android-specific events? At least in the development branch there is an SDL_TouchFingerEvent that should work for this. You only need to add new events to the GUI XML schema if you're going to add new GUI object types, which might be reasonable on an Android port. I'm thinking it would be easiest to avoid that until absolutely necessary. Either way the GUI manager will need to be extended to capture these events and pass them onto scripts like the session input.js, which is where the most interesting event handling occurs (unit selection, building placement, etc.) Unfortunately the GUI engine code is a mess.
Check out HandleEvent in source\gui\CGUI.cpp. See also EGUIMessageType in GUIbase.h. In fact you should be familiar with most of source\gui. For the XML parsing you'd want the CGUI::Xeromyces_* methods at the bottom of CGUI.cpp. For camera movement, see the CGameView class in source\graphics\GameView.cpp.
Android includes support for high performance 2D and 3D graphics with the Open Graphics Library (OpenGL), specifically, the OpenGL ES API. Since the game utilizes features of the full, standard OpenGL API, these portions of the code will have to be migrated to OpenGL ES.
I think the best approach is to extend graphics/ShaderProgram.cpp to support GLSL shaders (it was designed with that in mind, but I don't know if it'll actually work without some interface changes); then move all the renderer's existing fixed-function texture-environment setup code into ShaderProgramFFP.cpp and implement GLSL-based equivalents, so that most of the rest of the renderer code doesn't have to care whether it's using FFP or GLSL (it just uses the CShaderProgram interface). Also, change all immediate-mode drawing (glVertex3f etc) to vertex arrays. I think that should deal with the most serious problems, and the code would all be shared between GLES and desktop GL modes (no need for forking or #ifdefs etc) and can be tested with desktop GL. Then there's probably just lots of little issues remaining, which can be addressed as they occur.
Other dependencies
Android-compatible replacements must be found for all the dependencies of the PC edition. This is what we have so far:
- GCC - The Android NDK provides its own toolchain for compiling.
- Subversion - Assuming this is just for obtaining the source, this can be done on a PC workstation.
- SDL - Is already ported to Android.
- Boost - There is an unofficial port.
- zlib - libz is part of the native NDK.
- libpng - There's unofficial ports like this one.
- libxml2 - Google publishes a tree that is tuned to compile on Android.
- OpenGL - This must be ported to OpenGL ES.
- OpenAL - This should be ported to OpenSL ES.
- zip - Not sure which exact library this refers to?
- libogg - May be covered by Tremor (below).
- libvorbis - This can be done with Tremor.
- libcurl - May be ported like this.
- Gamin - Don't know about this one. It's used for monitoring file hotloading which doesn't seem as useful on an Android device.
- CMake - All build tools are provided by the NDK.
In addition to the external dependencies above, the following are bundled with the game:
- NVTT - We don't need any of its fancy features like CUDA support or image-loading tools, just the basic CPU-only compression library, so it should be buildable with no significant external dependencies (though its build system might need fixing).
- Spidermonkey - Presumably, Spidermonkey has been ported as part of Fennec. We can't use Android's native V8 engine since we rely on some complex API features, so porting would be a huge amount of work. SpiderMonkey isn't API-compatible or behaviour-compatible across versions, so it'd be best to use the same 1.8.5 release as we use on PCs if possible; I think the standard releases are meant to work on ARM, so that should be okay.
- Enet - From a quick check, I see no dependencies outside of libc, so this should compile natively.
- FCollada - We use a customised/bugfixed version of FCollada, so a port of the standard version of FCollada probably wouldn't work. Our own version has no significant dependencies other than libxml2.
The target device supports the ARM NEON SIMD instruction set. In turn, it does not support the x86 SSE SIMD instruction set. Hence, it would be relevant to 1) identify portions of the code that use x86 SSE and port them to ARM NEON, and 2) identify portions of the code that lends itself well to SIMD processing, but doesn't currently target either instruction set, and port them to both, and thereby achieve a speedup on both ARM and x86 architectures.
The target device features a dual-core processor. Unfortunately, the game doesn't really take advantage of multicore systems yet. This could be improved with multithreaded AIs and pathfinding.
The Android VM allows applications to call methods implemented in native code through JNI. This means we have to produce a native shared library which implements the core game functions as a set of methods (functions) which can be called from a shim running in the standard Android VM. The native library and the shim can then be packaged and distributed together as a standard Android application.
Setting up your workstation
For everything short of actually running the application, we will use a PC workstation. This section will assume your workstation runs Ubuntu Linux, but the steps should be relatively easy to adapt to other platforms. Begin by setting up a working directory for the project:
$ mkdir ~/android
Next, install the Android SDK. Download the SDK package from this page to the working directory and then unpack it there, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android $ tar -xvf android-sdk_r16-linux.tgz
Now complete the installation by running the android tool:
$ ~/android/android-sdk-linux/tools/android
A window with installable packages should open. In addition to any packages checked by default, make sure 'Android SDK Platform-tools' is checked and click 'Install packages'.
Google publishes a Native Development Kit (NDK), which is a set of tools for building native applications for the Android platform. Unfortunately, the official NDK does not and will not support the std::wstring (wide characters) datatype, which is required by the game, so we'll have to use the unofficial Crystax NDK. This is merely an extension of the official NDK, adding support for wide characters and other features maligned by Google.
Currently, the port of the Boost C++ Libraries that we use require us to use the r5 version of the NDK. Download the package from this page to the working directory and then unpack there, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android $ tar -xvf android-ndk-r5-crystax-2-linux-x86.tar.bz2
Now use the NDK to set up a standalone toolchain:
$ ~/android/android-ndk-r5-crystax-2/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-9 --install-dir=$HOME/android/toolchain
You also must install a Java Development Kit (JDK) if you haven't already, e.g. the standard JDK from Ubuntu Software Center:
$ sudo apt-get install default-jdk
Finally, make sure Ant and Subversion is installed:
$ sudo apt-get install ant subversion
On 64-bit Ubuntu you may need to install some 32-bit libraries:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Installing replacement libraries
The game has a range of external dependencies. Each of these has to be compiled for the target device's processor architecture and installed in the compiler toolchain's SYSROOT, so we can link against them when building the game itself.
Download the MysticTreeGames port of the Boost C++ Libraries to the working directory and unpack it there, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android $ tar -xvf MysticTreeGames-Boost-for-Android-70838fc.tar.gz
Now change directory to the directory that was unpacked, e.g.:
$ cd MysticTreeGames-Boost-for-Android-70838fc
Then execute the following command to download the Boost C++ Libraries package and compile it for the target device:
$ ./build-android.sh ~/android/android-ndk-r5-crystax-2
Copy the resulting headers and library files into the usr directory in the toolchain's SYSROOT:
$ cp -r build/* ~/android/toolchain/sysroot/usr/
Set up the environment for cross-compiling using the standalone toolchain:
$ HOSTCONF=arm-eabi-linux $ BUILDCONF=i686-pc-linux-gnu $ NDK=$HOME/android/android-ndk-r5-crystax-2 $ TOOLCHAIN=$HOME/android/toolchain $ export ARCH=armv7-a $ export SYSROOT=$TOOLCHAIN/sysroot $ export PATH=$PATH:$TOOLCHAIN/bin:$SYSROOT/usr/local/bin $ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi $ export CC=${CROSS_COMPILE}-gcc $ export CXX=${CROSS_COMPILE}-g++ $ export AR=${CROSS_COMPILE}-ar $ export AS=${CROSS_COMPILE}-as $ export LD=${CROSS_COMPILE}-ld $ export RANLIB=${CROSS_COMPILE}-ranlib $ export NM=${CROSS_COMPILE}-nm $ export STRIP=${CROSS_COMPILE}-strip $ export CFLAGS="-DANDROID -mandroid -fomit-frame-pointer --sysroot $SYSROOT -march=$ARCH -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfp -mthumb" $ export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS $ export LDFLAGS="-L${NDK}/sources/crystax/libs/armeabi-v7a -lcrystax"
Download the development snapshot for SDL 1.3 from this page to the working directory and then unpack it there, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android $ tar -xvf SDL-1.3.tar.gz
Now change directory to the directory that was unpacked, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android/SDL-1.3.0-6235
Then execute the following commands to compile the package for the target device:
$ ./configure --host=$HOSTCONF --build=$BUILDCONF --with-sysroot=$SYSROOT --prefix=$SYSROOT/usr/local --disable-joystick $ make $ make install
Download the latest version of cURL from this page to the working directory and then unpack it there, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android $ tar -xvf curl-7.24.0.tar.bz2
Now change directory to the directory that was unpacked, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android/curl-7.24.0
Then execute the following commands to compile the package for the target device:
$ ./configure --host=$HOSTCONF --build=$BUILDCONF --with-sysroot=$SYSROOT --prefix=$SYSROOT/usr/local $ make $ make install
Download the latest version of libpng from this page to the working directory and then unpack it there, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android $ tar -xvf libpng-1.5.7.tar.xz
Now change directory to the directory that was unpacked, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android/libpng-1.5.7
Then execute the following commands to compile the package for the target device:
$ ./configure --host=$HOSTCONF --build=$BUILDCONF --with-sysroot=$SYSROOT --prefix=$SYSROOT/usr $ make $ make install
The game depends on libjpeg. We will use libjpeg-turbo, an ABI-compatible fork of libjpeg that adds support for SIMD processing, giving us maximal performance with the target processor's ARM NEON engine.
Download the latest version of libjpeg-turbo from this page to the working directory and then unpack it there, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android $ tar -xvf libjpeg-turbo-1.1.1.tar.gz
Now change directory to the directory that was unpacked, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android/libjpeg-turbo-1.1.1
Then execute the following commands to compile the package for the target device:
$ ./configure --host=$HOSTCONF --build=$BUILDCONF --with-sysroot=$SYSROOT --prefix=$SYSROOT/usr $ make $ make install
Download the latest version of libxml2 from this page to the working directory and then unpack it there, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android $ tar -xvf libxml2-2.7.8.tar.gz
Now change directory to the directory that was unpacked, e.g.:
$ cd ~/android/libxml2-2.7.8
Then execute the following command to configure the package for the target device:
$ ./configure --host=$HOSTCONF --build=$BUILDCONF --prefix=$SYSROOT/usr --without-threads --without-iconv --without-python --enable-shared
Hand-edit the Makefile to remove runtest$(EXEEXT) and testrecurse$(EXEEXT) from the noinst_PROGRAMS definition, e.g.
noinst_PROGRAMS = testSchemas$(EXEEXT) testRelax$(EXEEXT) \ testSAX$(EXEEXT) testHTML$(EXEEXT) testXPath$(EXEEXT) \ testURI$(EXEEXT) testThreads$(EXEEXT) testC14N$(EXEEXT) \ testAutomata$(EXEEXT) testRegexp$(EXEEXT) testReader$(EXEEXT) \ testapi$(EXEEXT) testModule$(EXEEXT) \ runsuite$(EXEEXT) testchar$(EXEEXT) testdict$(EXEEXT) \ runxmlconf$(EXEEXT)
Finally, execute the following commands to compile the package:
$ make $ make install
Building the game
The native library (i.e. the actual game) is built using the standard Premake build system as follows.
(Note: You currently need to reset your environment if it is still set up for cross-compiling from the previous section. Close any open terminal windows and open a new one.)
Download the game from SVN to any location, e.g.:
$ svn co http://svn.wildfiregames.com/public/ps/trunk/ ~/android/0ad-game
Build the game as normal, but with:
$ cd ~/android/0ad-game/build/workspaces $ ./update-workspaces.sh --gles --android --without-fam --without-audio --disable-atlas $ TOOLCHAIN=$HOME/android/toolchain $ export SYSROOT=$TOOLCHAIN/sysroot $ export PATH=$PATH:$TOOLCHAIN/bin:$SYSROOT/usr/local/bin $ export CXX=arm-linux-androideabi-g++ $ cd gcc $ make config=debug -k pyrogenesis
See loads of build errors.
Fix all the build errors.
Fix the build system.
Setting up an Android project
All data that is to be compiled and packaged into the Android application must be assembled in an Android project.
We'll use the template provided by SDL. Move the project template to a fitting name under the working directory, e.g.:
$ mv SDL-1.3.0-6172/android-project/ ~/android/0ad
This is your project directory.

In 1950, my mother, Mary Lula Edwards, traveled by train with her two children from Plattsburgh, NY, to visit her mother in Montgomery, Alabama, and then back again. We were on our way back home when catastrophe struck.
I was three and my baby brother Andrew was about 2 months old. Along with having to hold my hand, my mother had to carry the baby on a kind of heavy blue cotton pillowcase equipped with straps, keep track of her purse, a diaper bag and our luggage, all at once. It's probably no wonder that, when alighting from a taxicab, she forgot to retrieve her purse and was left standing on a New York City sidewalk in front of Grand Central Station, holding tightly to two small children without train tickets or a penny to her name.
My memories of the situation are fuzzy, but the story has been repeated so often, I can see her standing on the pavement with tears in her eyes, murmuring a prayer. The baby was crying and I was tugging on her hand, whimpering. My father was in Plattsburgh, almost 300 miles north. It was dusk, and the train home had already left. The crowd surged around her. She had no idea what to do.
Just as she was at the end of her rope, she heard a voice. "Hello, Mrs. Edwards!" It was Mr. Mose Ginsberg, owner of Ginsberg's Department Store in our home town. She had only met Mr. Ginsberg when she and Daddy bought furniture at the store, but at that moment, he was home and family and safe harbor, all rolled into one.
She explained our situation and Mr. Ginsberg, even though he was in a hurry, loaned her $100 in cash (a princely sum in those days) to get home. Out of all the thousands of people on the sidewalks of New York that evening, to have kindly Mr. Ginsberg appear is, in my opinion, a true miracle.
That night, we stayed at a very modest NYC hotel—I remember being fascinated because the bathtub was right there in the room—and took the train to Plattsburgh in the morning.
Upon our arrival, my dad went downtown to Ginsberg's Furniture to repay the loan and extend his fervent thanks.
Many people would say, "What are the odds of meeting a friend among millions of people in downtown New York City?" But odds have nothing to do with it when God is involved.
The story of how Mr. Ginsberg was our answer to prayer became firmly fixed in the Edwards family lore.
(In my research, I learned that ours was not the only story of Mr. Ginsberg's kindness. He was a revered Adirondack institution until his death in 1974 at the age of 95.)
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Hebrews 6:10

Tenya Wanya Teens controls change mid-game
Thanks to a Eurogamer preview, we have some details about Tenya Wanya Teens, the new game from Katamari damacy creator Keita Takahashi and long-time Namco compose Asuka Sakai. The game's custom controller has 16 buttons which change colour thanks to LEDs, and players have to keep track of what colour does what – and where that colour is, as they move around mid-game. Mistakes can be dire, such as accidentally peeing all over your love interest instead of making a move. It's probably not going to get a commercial release thanks to the custom controller, which is a shame.

Keita Takahashi: Gaming is getting "dull"
Katamari and Noby Noby Boy creator Keita Takahashi is planning on taking a break from games, because he felt the future presented at E3 this year is looking "a bit dull".

Noby Noby two-way Boy fusion multiplayer shown in video
There's a video from the PS Blog after the break of Noby Noby Boy's multiplayer in action. It's completely baffling. Don't believe us?
Said Namco's Keita Takahashi:
I'd like to share a little bit more about Multiplayer. In Single player, the game allows BOY to eat another BOY as well as people and animals, etc. In Multiplayer though, eating everything has some funny consequences. For example, if the head of a 1P BOY eats the rear of a 2P BOY, the two players end up with a combined BOY.
Head: Player 1
Rear: Player 2This could be very confusing because one BOY is controlled by two players. Moreover, the fact that the game is compatible for up to four players could bring even more chaotic situations. Doesn't that sound fun?
"Confusing". That's the word you probably want to latch on to. More through there. Hit the link for the video.

Noby Noby Boy players levels drop, GIRL's trip to Mars taking longer than expected
Player levels for Noby Noby Boy have dropped from an initial 60,000 to 1,000, meaning GIRL's trip to Mars will take over 2,000 days current levels, says a website designed to track her progress.
Daily activity for the game sits around 1,500, rarely reaching 2,000 and almost falling below 1,000 occasionally, and while 300-500 new players are trying Noby out on a daily basis, people are also leaving the game.
Keita Takahashi has said that it would take 820 years for GIRL to connect the entire solar system.
Lofty goal there.

Noby Noby Boy coming to iPhone
Keita Takahashi confirmed that Noby Noby Boy's on its way to iPhone in his GDC session yesterday.
He showed it running. It features a multi-touch control scheme, with the player manipulating each end of the stretchy BOY character – represented in 2D – with a different finger.
Apparently he started it "a week ago".
More on Eurogamer.
Tue, Mar 10, 2009 | 18:59 GMT
Possible Noby Noby Boy update hinted at on official site
The official website for Noby Noby Boy has a teaser image posted which suggests that updates are coming soon.
Possible offline four-player multiplayer mode is suggested with the line "Even though it may be offline… I want to play multi-BOY!", and new music is also implied with "Guiter music are good but music from castanets, triangles, and maracas is something I'd like to listen."
Yes, the script on the page spells guitar like that.
Namco declined to comment on any updates when approached by Eurogamer, but the game has 47,685 players so far and GIRL has already reached the moon–hopefully that's enough to give Keita Takahashi ample reason to create more content.
Wed, Feb 18, 2009 | 22:46 GMT
Future Noby Noby Boy updates depend on sales
Noby Noby Boy will be getting more downloadable content in the future, according to game creator Keita Takahashi.
Speaking in an interview with Eurogamer, Takahashi said: "We will make a big update approximately two months after the release. I think we will be able to present the content pretty soon."
He did add that any further updates rest in the hands of the gamer.
"Without having a lot of people playing the game, I don't think that the decison-makers at the company will allow another update," he said.
"So I want many people to play the game. Please allow me to keep updating the game!"
The man has spoken.

Noby Noby Boy is not a so-called "game," released worldwide next month
Kotaku has obtained the marketing instructions for Namco Bandai's rather odd looking Noby Noby Boy revealing that the PSN title is not a "so-called game."
Well, what is it then, we hear you cry? The release note unfortunately doesn't say, but instead directs you to look at images and videos on the internet.
So, at Namco Bandai's request you can watch a trailer for the game here and see if you can work out what it is.
One thing the marketing instructions did say, however, was that Noby Noby Boy will be available worldwide on February 19.
Full marketing instructions after the break.
