Theres only 7 entries... but still, it would be cool if the detailed scoring for each was given.

Bah... I give.

It works on 2.0 for anyone who cares :)

edit: as i read the following post, I guess it does work... and I guess I'm not DQ'd yet... that's always good :)

What sucks is that Break-In was developed on a 2.0 system... I was reading the compatibility requirements from 1.5 to 2.0 and it seemed that 2.0 was just a more restrictive 1.5. Now while I realize that I'm almost guaranteed to be DQ'd for that nice compatibility restriction... if anyone can get a b...

Okay, here's the not-written-at-2-a.m. description of Break-In. The game is Break-In. Think Breakout, but we've removed the paddle. Instead, just the blocks are rotated around the ball(s) to create a frantic gameplay experience. Also this simple control mechanism allows break-in to be played with ju...

Nah son, not in the list linked to on the ps2dev.org homepage:
http://ps2dev.org/The_Fourth_Creation/

Its mysteriously absent

:(

What happened to my lovely game? Somehow its not in the entries list...

And oh yeah, by lovely I mean... not really.

So post-mortem, I definitely wish I had had more time to get my graphics all prettied up... but considering I've worked on Break-In since February, I'm glad to be done.

Anyway, since others posted in the forum, I guess I will as well:

i think i may have found it...

Actually, I was calling ReadBufferPositive at a very random time, and it just happened to be in a point where it could have been called up to 100 times each loop... NOT GOOD. Switched to PeekBufferPositive, and... its a tiny bit faster... but a good start. Thankz!

Well, I actually never use the vblankwait function at all... I only said that I didn't know how to do that. As for the readbuffer, thats only once per loop, but here's the main loop code... sorry if most of it is unreadable: int StartBreakInRound(RoundData * rdat,float idel,int MC(Ro...

so, I am basically making a game based loosely around break-out, and im having some weird problems... when you hit the block that releases an extra ball, sometimes (like when maybe 4 or more are on the screen, but its not a set number) the game will completely lag to death. that is to say, it will g...

Yeah, I'll probably enter... that is if I can stop being such a lazy ass and finish my first game. (Oh, and figure out psp's damn sound libs)

My game will roxx. (and lose, lose very badly)

I'm sorry, you have misunderstood my post. All I wanted to do was illustrate that in the PC indie dev world, nothing makes me angrier than someone who makes a game with RPG Maker then declares themselves "teh r0Xx0r", while I slave away for months to make something half as pretty as what t...

...I hate C.

...Thank you for that tip, I iz teh n00bz0r. (Too used to using typedef...)

Goddamn son of a programming language!!!

I give up... :( Seriously, I have the #include <dirent.h> but for some reason i think that the compiler is linking to a different header? I think this because: The header I thought I was using defines two struct i use: DIR and dirent. DIR contains a SceUID and a dirent. dirent is the same as a psp s...

Is there a directive (or whatever its called) for the dirent.h library? like how math needs -lm etc.?

Are LUA-made games given as much weight in the psp competition as C coded ones? This would seem sort of unfair to the C coders, like an RPG competition between C++ game coders and kids using RPG Maker 2000. Also, to try and prevent the possible flambé, let me state the following: I know programming ...

I wasn't aware there was anything like that. How would I go about using them? Maybe just a small sample line of code would be all, but ill look it up on google in the meantime.

I haven't really done anything with the psp file IO API yet, but now it seems necessary for me to learn a thing or 2. I have been using fopen, fread, fwrite, etc for all my file needs, and it has been working fine, but now i need the ability to scan a directory for all files contained within. I look...

that was my problem... with all the psp libs it slike -lpsp + libname, so i tried -lmath and cygwin told me I was retarded :( Thanks!

I'm sorry to sound so noobish, (well, actually, I kinda am one...) but how do I include non-psp include files like math.h? I included the file but got an undefined reference... blah... so por favor... gracias. lo siento.

Okay so I have 4 .c source files, 3 of which have headers, and I'm trying to compile them all. It has worked perfectly for a long time now (altogether this code has about 40+ hours of work into it), but all of the sudden, when i make the files not all of them are being recompiled (even though I'm ch...

I got the SDL library, but there are some files that I'm not receiving, speciafically, the video/psp folder and all files within...

can someone give me a link where i can download the sdl for psp source code? I know it has to be somewhere, I just cannot for the life of me find it...

ok i've tried the pspgu functions, but i dont understand them at all... especially this (found in an example):
static unsigned int __attribute__((aligned(16))) list[262144];

which is passed to sceGuStart(GU_DIRECT,list);

Hmm I can't seem to get those functions to work properly... every time I use them my psp displays nothing and freezes. Without them though I can do pixel manips just fine by writing to the pixels starting at 0x04000000. Does anyone have any good examples of how to do pixel manipulation with the use ...

Thank you Raphael, first off, that char* pointer thing... I feel really dumb... not enough sleep I guess. about those 2 initialization functions, does the pointer location in each begin relative to the vram top (0x04000000)? So that 0 is 0x04000000 and FRAMESIZE is 0x04000000+0xAA000? Again, thank y...

I'm trying to do some simple graphics (basically moving a 10x10 px square around the screen), and I'm basing my code off of a lot of some print functions that draw directly to vram. The functions from it I call is: #define LINESIZE 512 //in short #define FRAMESIZE 0xAA000 //in byte unsigned char *vr...

where are these defined in the pspsdk?

nm, i found them...

Is there any sort of way to use clocks/time/anything to time things on this system? I think I remember a function that pauses for a given time but can't remember it. It would be nice though if there way a function that returned the current ms time, so that framerate could be controlled effectively. ...

I finally got it working thank you all! I also got some other text output set up and now have "Hello psp" which I can direct on the screen using the arrow buttons. Its a start I suppose :)
