Well, no big loss if the drive fails; it comes from my pile of spare drives and I found ext4 quite resistant against stuck computers and emergency reboots. > However - in the dangerous cutting edge world of fine art galleries > "video art" is still extremely futuristic and controversial, "computers" > hardly even exist and are never to be touched for fear of viruses. > > Oops ;) > > Fortunately these people are our friends. As there is (nearly) 0 budget for this place and not all that much audience for the truly new and experimental they/we can afford to do essentially anything, stylistically. They do video art too, just on Macs and hackintoshes and I don't think it's a good idea to burden them with all sorts of arcane commands. Of course it's new and futuristic, if it'd been done before we could just sleep in, then have beers ;¬) > Make sure you get them to take lots of pictures and video of the public > playing your game (or to be on the safe side do it yourself).

Paul is a god-send as he is experimenting with video editing and so needs interesting things to film, then edit, then post. This is by far the best project-documentation I've ever had, the same probably goes for Rob. I strongly suggest all list members find somebody who is learning about filming and editing. Really; that kind of deal is win-win for all involved > And last but not least - well done!!! > > Thanks! After this round I think I'll call the game "done" for a bit and start something new. I want to try the AR stuff. Maybe with more cpu power it'd be nice to add a generative soundtrack, based on the game state, who is winning, the curve of projectiles, etc. That might be fun.
