Re: [Haifux] [CALL FOR COOPERATION] 0AD - A real-time strategy game, now in open source.
Updates: the game can be compiled on one of Shahar Dag's lab machines. We just need a person who will be in charge of installing it. Then we will physically deliver the machine to class for the talk, and return it to the lab after. Volunteer still needed.

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 Haifux@haifux.org http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
[Haifux] Me Volunteering to Give a Presentation
Hi all, due to the lack of recent volunteer presenters in the open-source clubs, I decided to step forward and volunteer to give a presentation. The usual caveat is that I tend to give pretty bad presentations: I don't have good diction, tend to create bad slides (though I'll try to spice them with some images, and good presentation advice - http://perl.net.au/wiki/Resources_for_Presenters - etc.) In any case I can give a talk about: 1. CMake - http://www.cmake.org/ - the opossum alternative to the GNU Autotools (a.k.a GNU Autohell). I gave a presentation about GNU Autotools before, which I knew were very bad, but has since then reached nirvana with CMake. 2. jQuery - portable and concise JavaScript - http://jquery.com/ - jQuery is the write less - do more JavaScript library, which abstracts most common JavaScript tasks in a succinct interface, which greatly speeds up and facilitates the coding. My approach to this will be to give several jQuery examples, and explain how and why they work. 3. Bottom-up Subversion - an introduction to http://subversion.tigris.org/ in a bottom-up fashion, as a complementary to the svnbook - http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ . 4. Anything from here - http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/ . I may need to update some of these presentations. 5. I can also adapt a lot of stuff from here - http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/ (should have been /essays/ or /articles/ or something - yet another historical URL on my site) to presentations. 6. I've been working on the fifth installment of my Perl-for-Newbies presentation: http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Perl/Newbies/lecture5/ My Perl-for-Newbies presentations did not prove very popular when I gave them one after the other to Telux, but I can give this separately.

Hi, I would love to hear about jquery. Have you used their GUI platform as well? (http://jqueryui.com/) Thanks, Tal.

However, the reason I'm giving it is because Constantine here (CCed to this message) volunteered to prepare it together with me, and then to give it to Telux. So thank Constantine for standing up as our victim^W volunteer. In any case, I still would like to prepare and give the jQuery presentation, but this will take a while.
