Re: Brain Party for Linux (and now for N900)
 

I also have no problem with 0.5.91-1. I'm going to do some more testing tonight.

Re: Brain Party for Linux (and now for N900)
 

I'll try to integrate this patch now. This makes the brainparty-data package a bit bigger, because I didn't include the OGGs in the previous package (which allowed for a slimmer download). I'm uploading the new data package now, and will upload a new binary for brainparty after that.

Edit: After installing Brain Party 0.5.91-2 (~ 40 MB), music works :) I'll promote it to Extras-Testing soon.

Ah, I just didn't excpect to fail EVERY TIME :P,
I'll try it again tonight when putting the kids to sleep...

* It still does the slowdown for me. Sometimes it's faster, sometimes slower, depending on what I play

* I now get corruption on graphics. All this far have been corruption of text, images are fine. Text like game description before a game.

* Achievements work now.

* Balloons seems to never award more than 65535 points per pop. Is that intentional? It changes the strategy, from hoarding for the best pop to only getting a bunch together, then pop and start new collection. If it's intentional, it should be mentioned in the help.

* 0.5.91-2 here.

Re: Brain Party for Linux (and now for N900)
 

Fantastic stuff! Sat in the train this morning and saw the update, installed it and enjoyed it!
The music is quite good and a very welcome addition to an already perfect port.

So strange to read about a few people experiencing slowdowns.
Still have never experienced this and this goes for the graphical corruption as well.
Everything looks clean and runs smooth. Also with the music! :D

I have sound and music turned off. Could it be?

Hey!

<< It still does the slowdown for me. Sometimes it's faster, sometimes slower, depending on what I play >>

Well, hold up: the problem other people were having was that the whole game slowed down permanently; ie, you could quit a minigame and the game would still be running slowly. Is that what you're experiencing, or are you just saying that some minigames are a bit more graphically taxing and so they run a bit slow?

<< I now get corruption on graphics. All this far have been corruption of text, images are fine. Text like game description before a game. >>

I have no idea what could be causing that. The fact that it runs fine on some N900s and not so well on others is strange.

<< Achievements work now. >>

Great!

It's intentional, otherwise someone could simply pop lots of poor choice balloons then pop one massive group and score 524,288 all at once and not make any other moves. There isn't a lot of room to add explanatory text in the help, and really it's not that common people make such large groups.

@ they who get graphical errors and other strange things: did you overclock your N900?

Re: Brain Party for Linux (and now for N900)
 

edit:
nevermind. apparently it's necessary to form huge chunks in balloon blaster to score proper points. in any case, the below is still valid:

also, word smash is almost impossible to play as a "tap" get registered as a drag even if being extremely careful.

Re: Brain Party for Linux (and now for N900)
 

Ah! I hadn't thought of that - the iPhone has a built-in dead zone to avoid accidental drag events, but perhaps the N900 doesn't. It's worth fixing this.
