Tegra 2 Issues

Hi Everyone,

We've been fighting a bug recently on the Atrix relating to our textures not working correctly in our development version. We've tracked the problem down to glTexSubImage2D in android native. It appears that the width of the area which you wish to change must be a power of 2. The height however does not need to be a power of 2. This behavior has not been observed on any other device to our knowledge. Hope this helps anyone who has similar issues!

EDIT: We got it working on the first try! After all we've been through with this issue I think we deserved it.

The Hint

Apparently our program is trying to give us a hint:



EDIT: We found this later; still not quite sure what it's trying to tell us:

MIT!

We both got accepted into MIT as of last night! The wait was long, but it's over now. Hopefully we will have more time to get some work done on The Elements and the UAV now.

Happy holidays everyone!!

DestinyCloudFist Risk

Because of the lack of a good Risk game for Android, Ryan and I decided to take it upon ourselves to hack out a functional one ASAP. We started about 5 days ago and so far have a skeleton of the Activities set up and are just about getting into the game-play itself. Since we've never dealt with AI before, that part may be a bit of a challenge, but we're setting Feb 1 as our deadline for non-AI gameplay.

We decided to call our Risk game DestinyCloudFist in reference to a hilariously-named Starcraft strategy. Our Google Code page can be found at http://code.google.com/p/destinycloudfist/.

As always, if you have any advice, admonitions, compliments or threats, email them to idkjava@gmail.com!

Progress

So we'd thought we'd update you on what we've been doing so far. We've been fairly busy, but the UAV has made progress; we've been putting it together and working a bit on the programming side. Here are some pictures from our work.

Skeleton of the UAV put together, no electronics in yet.

Attempting to test our motor and propeller, hoping for lack of explosion. Later found that brushless motors don't connect like normal motors. We wasted an hour here.

College stuff done!

Hi Everyone,

Gurtej and I are finally done with our college applications! This means that pretty soon we should be pumping out updates again. Currently there's a coding competition called CodeChef that Gurtej and I(Ryan) are participating in so it might be about a week before the first update comes out, but we promise it is coming!

On another topic, if you happen to be a college admissions officer looking for the site that Gurtej and I have been working on, the website is up at 74.70.156.22:8080 (ISP doesn't let incoming port 80 through). The source code of this page is up now as well at 74.70.156.22:8080/www.tar.gz! All of the pages, including PHP code are up, with the only change being removing the password/user names in PHP.

College Applications almost done!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of updates for such a long time. Gurtej and I(Ryan) have been pretty busy the last few months with college applications and schoolwork. Starting soon, we will be returning to all of our Android programming and new updates will be flowing out!
