A new version of Puyo Mobile is now available.Highlight in this release is(1) Game level support. The level will be increased when you win every 50 points. The falling speed of the balls will be faster. The level is saved together with your points in the scoreboard.(2) Multiple language support. Initially you can switch to English or Chinese.(3) Blinking effects when the balls are going to be

Just installed ubuntu 8.04 as my 3rd OS on my 3.5-year-old laptop. The installation went quite smoothly. Even my bluetooth dongle works out of box. I can open my N95's directory quite easiy and copy back and forth files.The only annoyance was that the firefox 3.0b5 didn't work with the Adobe flash player 9. However, today I manually installed 3.0 rc1 and flash player 10. It works like a charm!

At last I've got some time to add the sound features to Puyo Mobile. Various minor issues on Nokia phones have also been ironed out. In addition, the project file is updated so that you can download the source file and load it in Netbeans 6.0.This is the direct download link for the zipped jar and jad if you're eager to try it.Have fun!

When I update from Netbeans 5.5 to 6.0, I can't start the emulator for J2ME development anymore. Later I've found that the problem is that Netbeans 6.0 is bundled with WTK(Wireless ToolKits) 2.5.2, whereas the 5.5 uses WTK 2.2. Then I go to the menu "Tools"->"java platforms" and remove the WTK 2.2. After removal, you'll see the project icons using J2ME show some errors in the "Project Navigator"

I took some advices from internet and added .xim in my home directry.

Yesterday I downloaded the crysis demo and played a little bit. The graphics and physics effects look great. On my 3-year old laptop with a 1.6G centrino CPU and Raedon 9700 graphics card it runs still quite fluently.Some tips if you're new to this game:1. Don't waste your ammo. It's limited! However you can pick up guns when killing an enemy and take their ammos.2. Use the jeep equipped with a

When I'm trying to pick up some dev work on my mirrlicht project, I came across a little annoying problem for Symbian development. That is to write a small tool which can take symbian package file containing relative paths. The relative paths make it easier to switch between different SDK installations.There is a tip here suggesting to use option -d"Your epoc root dir" when you call makesis.

I've recently got an N73 from my company. Since this phone (or mobile computer if you prefer to call it this way) includes a software OpenGL ES renderer, I'm eager to try if the sample programs included in the Nokia OpenGL ES 1.1 plugin run on a real device. After I compiled a very simple sample SimpleCube and installed it on my N73, the testing result is disappointing because the rotated cube

Recently I came across to the mesh library "vcg"(browse source , project page) developed by Visualization and Computer Graphics Lib in Italy. In one of the header file, I saw the term "wedge". Then I looked up in wikipedia and didn't find this term pertaining to computer graphics. After a short while googling, I found that this was originally described in the following paper.Hugues Hoppe.

The WinCE branch in the mirrlicht project now has the first screen shot. It's just a simple MD2 animated figure with a static text GUI element. The porting is developed using MS Visual Studio 2005. The rendering is performed by an OpenGL ES software implementation -- Rasteroid from Hybrid. It runs on a Pocket PC 2003 emulator. However, the frame rate is very low on the emulator (like showing

The download link of PuyoMobile is updated to 0.1.1, which fixes the slugglish key response problem. The source code is also updated, accordingly. Check the project webpage http://limingchina.googlepages.com/puyopuyo.

Since google now offers up to five personal webpages for Google Page Creator, I applied a new one mirrlicht.googlepages.com for the mobile porting of irrlicht project. In the developer section, you might find some useful information for building the project.

This mobile edition is developed with NetBeans 5.5. It runs on J2ME platform and has been tested on my Siemens CX65. Download the zipped executables and source code on the project page. The latest source code shares the same subversion depot with the J2SE version.

Time to release a new screenshot and a video clip. Now the scene becomes more interesting. It's a Quake3 map with two animated faeries. This roughly corresponds the Collision example included in the irrlicht engine. In addition, the user can navigate in the small castle scene.The video clip you can download here.(Note: currently in the mirrlicht subversion depot on google code, I use a different

Just published a puzzle game called "Puyo Puyo". The project is hosted using google's project hosting service and written in java. The license is LGPL.Currently it has a simple project homepage at http://limingchina.googlepages.com/puyopuyo.If you have NetBeans 5.5 installed, you can check out all the files under /trunk/puyo and directly open it using the IDE.

I'm going to use my msn space as a blog dedicated to hobby, social activities. So this blog is created to serve as a tech-oriented one (especially computer grahics) .Initially I want to give it a name rendermania to match the nickname on my portal site on google pages. However, somebody else has already registered this name. Then I gives it a relatively long name "GrahpicsMakesFun" (GMF).
