I'm pretty sure it's just a simple matter of running the Blitz compiler under an earlier version of Ubuntu. I agree that you probably have little control over what Blitz does, but I highly doubt Blitz carries its own C library around. It just uses whatever your system is currently running. Compile i...

I want to begin working on an RPG soon. Maybe I'll have ya submit a writing sample sometime.

Just sayin'...

PulseAudio is the worst thing that ever happened to Linux.

Static build is not the best idea when it comes to the core C libraries.

There is a thread discussing this issue:

Admittedly, I am coming into this discussion with a strong general game developer background and not an RPG background. So, while I cannot speak for how RPGs are "meant to be played", I would like to share my insight. When I play any game at all, I expect to be able to use all of my mental...

Yup. Same issue here. It's such a simple problem, yet it requires BW's intervention to clean up.

I am currently running 9.10 because I am not ready to upgrade to 10.04 yet.

Driver issues happen everywhere except on OSX (because Apple controls the hardware there). For every driver difficulty I've had in Linux, I've had a dozen in Windows. I don't feel Windows is any more newb-friendly than Ubuntu is. Frankly, people like my mother-in-law just don't know squat about comp...

Diablo really drew emphasis to the widening gap in "RPG fans". Personally, I am a huge fan of Diablo II, but I also acknowledge that I am not a die-hard fan to the true sense of the term RPG. Diablo is one of those games where the story is there if you're willing to dig for it, but it also...

Just using SDL/OpenGL as your primary API cuts out 99% of platform-specific code you would otherwise have to write. Ogre3D is supposedly the same way, and we are analyzing that API for our next project. My particular team uses Code::Blocks IDE because it runs on all major operating systems, and we c...

I'd be interested in learning more about the setup/tools/software you use on each platform to compile your code. Whenever I dabble in C++ and try to figure out how to make a nice cross-platform pipeline, I end up more confused than when I started. Sure! I'd be willing to go over the details with yo...
