Hello Avid (or not yet) Gamers, We are trying to get a talk about FOSS games, specifically 0AD, in Haifux. For this, the speakers (Aviv Sharon and Shimon Grinberg) need a "nice PC" for class demonstrations. Below follows the definition of "NICE PC" by Aviv. If you are willing to put some work into it, we can have a unique Haifux talk.
The lecture is intended for December 7th. Thanks for your cooperation, Orna. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Either Windows or Linux (or OS X if you insist) - An adequately high-spec computer - several gigabytes of free disk space, preferably at least 1GB of RAM for compiling, a fast CPU unless you want to spend ages waiting for the compiler, etc. Modern graphics hardware is also recommended, though the game can run (slowly) on fairly old devices (GeForce 4, Intel 945GM, etc). - Up-to-date system software (Windows service packs, graphics driver updates, etc). My source is http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions, where further information about building the game can be found. The game runs slowly on my MSI Wind netbook, which was never built for gaming. (Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM). The graphics card is very poor for gaming (Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset Family) so some of the water graphics had to be disabled and the animation is choppy. Anything better is welcome. - Aviv _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list [email protected] http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
