About me

Currently re-learning C++ and learning SDL.

Aquired the Solixa Protocol to create the Solixa port for the GP2X

Currently reading:

• C++ A Beginner's Guide Second Edition (Hard Copy)
• A First Book of ANSI C Third Edition (Hard Copy)
• Beginning Programming in 24 Hours (Hard Copy)
• C++ in 24 Hours (Hard Copy)
• Focus on SDL (eBook)
• And various other ebooks

What type of apps/programs would you like to see on the GP2X?

• I personally would like to see a WiFi detector or even Netstumbler or Kismet when the SDIO drivers have been sorted out.
• Another thing would be a Bluesnarfing app to interface with mobilephones in the vacinity
• A great community based MMORPG which would definately be open source
• Web Browser ie. Links or heavily watered down Firefox
• VNC client to use your computer in another room
• Enhanced media player with streaming media from your network or internet if ping isnt too high and the console can handle it
• GBA emulator to play all the greats
• Official games that are open source
• Flash player

What I'd like to see on this wiki

I would love the following things done for the community or for the wiki either by my self once i am able to do so or by the community:

• More ported libraries like Speex and the mysql library and SDL_NET
• Instructions on howto setup Dev-C++ to compile GP2X executables in windows
• Decent software rendered engines like the Irrlicht Engine
• Open source 2D/3D game which everyone can help out with (I was thinking a 3D Multiplayer racer)
• A rumour mill, for all the talk about the new gp2x that has the better batteries (Li-Ion?) and WIFI built in which allegedly comes out Q2 next year.
• More GPH support and a decent website, it feels like they are shruging us off (non-koreans) without much feedback
