You're going to find less responsiveness from the JMonkey community. In fact, that's what drove me to using Maratis in the first place!

If it's just a computer issue, then using JMonkey won't make any difference because of the fact that it runs on top of LWJGL/JOGL, which means that it's still trying to tap into your graphics processor.

I have a blog that I run where I've linked some cheap new laptops with great integrated GPUs. You can find it here: "http://osgdp.wordpress.com".

In the meantime, would you mind providing your computer's system specifications so that we can help troubleshoot the hardware problem? This could turn out to be a simple fix if we just had a little more information.

I posted a link to LuaSQL in the General category, which is a Lua-based persistent store that can utilize multiple database types.

You would simply write the needed data to the database and then load it in your next scene. This would supplement the modular design paradigm that the engine currently uses.

Hey, Vegan.

I wouldn't knock the OUYA quite yet. The Tegra SoC it uses is still quite formidable. The controller also utilizes a nice Bluetooth DSP for sending and receiving signals to-and-from the console.

As somebody who owns a Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone Black, and has a vested interest in ARM-based SoCs, I think the OUYA is a nice piece of hardware, and there's no reason to dismiss it in any way. What's even cooler is the fact that we'll soon have 64-bit ARM CPUs to tinker with, which opens up a whole new world of energy-efficient computing possibilities.

The Apple ecosystem is certainly "stable", but it is also "pay-to-play", which I don't like. I think open-source technology is the natural direction for our industry to go, as it makes everything more accessible for developers and end users.

I'm sorry that you're going to have to upgrade your machine in order to use the latest tools... have you considered just purchasing a MacBook Air? Or the 13-inch MacBook Pro? Both of those are just a little over $1,000, and would give you access to everything you need to continue doing iOS Development/Publishing for the immediate and near future.

I know it's a little pricey, and I definitely feel you. The Mac I'm using is from late 2007, and the cost of new hardware is why I haven't upgraded yet. When I'm not using this machine, I'm using a new Lenovo I recent got which runs Debian "Jessie", so I sort of have one foot in, one foot out.

Anyway, let us know what you decide to do. I always like to hear other peoples' perspectives on technology and what they think.

Cheers!

Looks cool.

Is the development environment cross-platform? I think that would be the selling point for me.

Another thing to note is that you need to have an active iOS Developer account in order to build and test the application on your device. Apple is very strict about code-signing regulations.

Android would be a lot less cumbersome. >_>

Hey Vegan!

I currently work as an iOS Developer, and I think you can still publish if you're targeting 6.1.

Outside of the iTunes App Store, I don't think there's a distribution channel unless you're willing to cater to Jailbroken iPhones.

Speaking of which, are we considering porting the engine to Android? That would give us an open alternative to Apple. : )

I appreciate your sense of humor about it, Anael.

I understand this is a cosmetic issue, and that most of the folders are already referenced by the engine for various things. It's fine.

Now that I think about it, I feel like an idiot for mentioning it.

Yeah, I'm wondering if there's some kind of symlink issue with the version of Maratis that was downloaded inside the Manager and the one I originally installed through your Debian packages.

I can do some more digging later tonight. I'll also look further into the plugin functionality. Thanks for your help.

Sent. The subject line of the email is: "This is sunnystormy from the Maratis forums". Just so you know.

Hi, Anael. Thank you very much for posting those code samples. It looks like this may take a while because the libtheoraplayer API is only built for Windows and Mac OSX/iOS (at least, that's what's indicated on the site). I think (because I'm a Linux user) I'm going to have to build my own Theora video API from scratch.

When I make some progress, I will be sure to let you know. Thanks again.
