Quong

Some more development is done. The new link is http://www.pinoyforum.net/v2forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1796.0;attach=684

Now I'm thinking of hosting my project in http://www.sharesource.org. To my dismay, the site was Yahoo!ed, bought by Yahoo corp, now its got red letters all over its front page. ZOMG!!!! Shit man, I can't believe I've been April-fooled on that one. I'll use it since it supports a Mercurial back-end, although I'll host my code in other free Mercurial hosting sites too.

This means I'm going to learn Mercurial and use it over Subversion, which I'm currently using. Open source projects get to make more use of decentralized version control systems.

This also means I'm making my project open source. I'll use GPL v3.

Now if you didn't understand any of the bullshit I've been saying so far (it happens to me too sometimes), it simply means I'm just setting things up.

QUONG

I've started to make use of a unit test library UnitTest++. Its really nice, just after a day of adding unit tests and I've found bugs I wouldn't have otherwise. I recommend it to anyone making code in C++.

QUONG

That's only a rough concept of what I'll be making

Quong Development

I'm working on the proper moving of text cursor  for the non-monospaced text. It's turning out to be more and more difficult the more I code it.

More Quong

The only significant changes I've made to the Quong keyboard demo is that:

• it displays a bitmap of the on-screen keyboard in the lower screen
• it now displays non-monospaced text (not shown in image), but its incomplete (no word-wrap yet).

More Quong DS Development

I've made a small demo for the hex keyboard, the problem is I haven't gotten around to how to render the keyboard graphics yet. Should I use a large bitmap? That wouldn't make it reconfigurable. Should I use the hardware-accelerated sprites display? If only there were more up-to-date documentations and tutorials for libnds.

If anyone wants the .nds file, post a comment and I'll host it somewhere.

Quong, and the ever elusive ideal firearm weapon for the gunner

Look at that. Look at that weird beehive looking... thing, which most of you will probably not bother looking at anyway. Its the quong hex keyboard layout but modified a bit 'cause I felt like it. I've been making up the code to make a hex keyboard in the Nintendo DS. Soon enough, I was outlaying a simple GUI library for it. That pic's just the concept layout though.

Ultimately, I want to make a homebrew app for the DS that's similar to Tiddlywiki: some sort of guerrilla wiki for the DS.

Moving on, I was about to make animations for the gunner soldier when I realized he doesn't have the props. So I've been making new concepts for fictional guns/rifles (which I will not show yet). So much reference images I've downloaded from the Web, and yet its still pretty hard to be creative when you're lazy, and prefer to spend the weekend fapping to porn instead, which means I'm not finished yet.
