26/07/01I've written a Windows
program for connecting Yaroze games over the internet. It's untested so please
give it a go and let me know how you get on. The test version is available
here . I
havent worked on Lands of Midnight recently, and I don't know if I'll be going
back to it. If you want to see how far I got, which isn't far, you can download
it here.
31/01/01I've put together a compression
library for the yaroze, check the Projects page for a brief description, or
download straight from here. I'm
still working on Lands of Midnight, but I've not done a lot recently. If nothing
else comes up I'll be going straight back into it.
02/09/00 Okay look, I'll be honest, I havent
been spending every spare hour of every day yaroze programming. It's
in-excusable I know, and I'll try harder in future. That said, I've written a
little demo of
Lands of Midnight, check out the Projects section.
09/01/00 After mucking around with this and that for the last few months
it's about time I made an attempt at a game. Since starting a new job in October
I've done next to nothing yaroze-wise. Living and working in London midweek
hasn't helped matters as I've not got a PC there, but at the moment I'm looking
to spend some of my hard-earned cash on a laptop. Anyway I've made up my mind on
the sort of game to create. For vague provisional details see the Projects
section.
11/10/99 Daniel J. Dobson has pointed out a problem when using Cyclone.
If a call to exit() is made within the yaroze application, Cyclone is unaware
the application has terminated and will not terminate itself, which leads to
errors being reported by Cyclone as the playstation CIP program attempts to
communicate with the PC. To avoid this problem, don't make any calls to exit()
after sio_open() has been called, and always match a call to sio_open() with a
call to sio_close() before the application terminates.
20/9/99 When creating your own applications that use Cyclone's psx
library libcyc.a, you'll need the updated version of the libps.a library to be
able to compile it. The original library that comes with the yaroze dev kit
doesn't contain the ioctl() function. The update is available on the Sony server
here. This
information has also been added to the Cyclone documentation.
17/9/99 The original CodeWarrior library that came with Cyclone didn't
work, it has been replaced with a working version inside the main zip file. If
you need only the new library download cwlibfix.zipfrom
my ftp. Otherwise, if you've not tried Cyclone yet, download cyclo20a.zip.
See below for details on Cyclone.
