Nethack, segfault on N800 fixed.

Hello all,

I uploaded a new build of the nethack game for Internet Tablet.

Now the segfault on N800 related to inventory+context menu feature should be fixed.

Enjoy again :)

Nethack again :)

Hello all.

A lot of changes in my life since my last post in this blog.
Now I have a new job, I'm working at Fluendo since September that's the reason why I've been really busy last months. Now I've to drive a pair of hours each day moving me from Igualada to Barcelona, less time for personal projects :(.
The new job is really interesting. Improve gstreamer and codecs for embedded and desktop platforms are mainly my tasks at Fluendo.

My first Nokia 770 is one year old and I want celebrate it with you, a new release of Nethack is an appropriate present. This was my first developing project for that toy.

Some promised features are now in Nethack, but I haven't tested it completely. Who can play games when is more interesting write the code :).

New features (look at the screenshots):

- Finally I finished the pad whit a nice look thanks to Christophe Dumas.
- Context menu for actions on objects at inventory dialog.
- Different flavours of nethack, now you can choose between graphical or ascii views.
- Some minor fixes.

That's all, thanks to everybody that does maemo an amusing experience every day.

On holidays and tuner tool

Hi friends,

I'm on holidays this days and I've restricted access to my computer, my wife don't let me play on it until September :)

During first week on September I believe that I'll be able to do some improvements on the tuner tool that has been suggested to me on comments and by mail.

This is a summary about the changes that I plan to do:

- Enlarge the text that reports the tone played as Tor-björn asked for.
- Add an autoplay func for guitar notes: "Play the six guitar strings in sequence, allow each string/tone to play for a configurable length of time, then play the next string/tone, ie: e-e-e-e-e a-a-a-a-a d-d-d-d-d g-g-g-g b-b-b-b-b e-e-e-e repeat" as Chris Warren-Smith suggested.
- Add a pair of buttons to let change octaves on the piano func.

About how improve the FFT and add better sensivity under 400 hz frequencies, I'm reallyy novice in this area and mainly I began this project as way to learn about gstreamer and N770 multimedia API. I chosen KISS FFT lib because it's easy to use and fourier transform can be calculated using fixed point integers, that's good for N770 which haven't FPU. If someone has a good idea about which improvements can be done on this area I'm able to write the code and testing it but by now I have a lack of info about what should be done.

Sometimes I'm in IRC channels at freenode, #maemo and #gstreamer, with nick ArthurDentN770 we can talk about if you want.

Tuner tool version 0.0.2

Hi friends,

This is a new version of my tuner tool project for Nokia 770. As you can see on the screenshoot I added a piano keyboard to generate reference tones.

I want to thanks people on IRC channel #gstreamer who helped me with this project. In particular to ensonic for their ideas about how solve some bugs.
