DIV Beta 11 for Pandora released
The first beta for the Open Pandora console of DIV GAMES STUDIO is now available from the Pandora Repo. This package includes the demo files, and the columns and pitfall remakes, so you can get coding straight away!

I did not own a pandora but it looks good.

It works really nicely on pandora, it even is stretched full screen now (800x480).
The button mapping is weird, X/Y/A/B are mapped to pgup/pgdwn (and something else) by default which makes it a little annoying, but thats how their
hardware keys are setup.
The games work nicely and the pixel editor works well with the stylus too

It's a very cool machine and can perform most tasks a basic linux laptop can. Depends what you call useful though.

Hi to all members
I try to follow the Shooter tutorial. But I can't type on the Pandora.
Div3 can't rcognize the keyboard...
Am I missing something ?
Thanks a lot.

Hello! (and welcome aboard)
I never had a keyboard issue when I tried... keys and mouse worked great.

Hi Mike,
Only mouse pointer moves.
When I click on New, the program window opens but I can't type.
When I want to load a tutorial or a game, the window opens but its's empty (no prg code appears!)

That's really odd!
What build is that from? Is it the latest from the repo?
It's probably time I made a new pandora release but my cross compiler isnt working at the moment, which is annoying.

Yes, it's the latest from the repo.
My Pandora works under Super Zaxxon 1.53 ... Perhaps this firmware is old.
I really don't know ..;
But don't worry Mike, I can still learn to code games with the Windows version.
Thanks a lot for Div3, your tutorials and your Youtube channel !
I hope you'll fix your cross compiler soon.

Do any of the div games on the repo work for you?
It may be because it uses the custom SDL libs, if you're feeling brave you can try mounting it and running it manually with ./d-PANDORA

So I put SDL.dll near the system folder.
Then with "Codeblocks Command Line" for instance , I run it manually with ./d-PANDORA
Did I miss a step Mike ?
Thanks.

Games work.
All letters keys below Dpad, nubs and A B X Y don't ...
So I can't type any tutorial
But Dpad, Start Alt, Selet CTRL and Pandora key work.
And F1 to F10 work also

That's really weird. I'll charge my Pandora and see if i can give you any hints.

I tried to draw the spaceship for the first shooter tutorial :
You should remap the mouse click to a physical key (A,B,X or Y) for instance
Because "left clicking"with the stylus is such a pain and not accurate at all.
It took me ages to replicate the ship ( more than 1 hour ) .
When the entire tutorial took me only 20 minutes to complete on my laptop.
But the left Dpad allow a per pixel displacement which is awesome when drawing a map!
Thanks

Hmm, thats a bit of a shame, I actually quite enjoyed using the stylus with the div editor.
I need to do a new pandora build, so hopefully the next update will be a bit more friendly for you!

Yes, Using the stylus with the Div3 editor is great but not for drawing maps.
I want to do the plateformer tutorial now.
I want to use the B button (on the right of the Pandora) to make the character jump.
I also to use the X button (on the right) to fire some bullet if the character has a gun for instance and wants to kill some evil robot !
How do you program this (key mapping) ?
Thanks you very much Mike.

The easiest way to find out, is to load up in the help for "key codes" and run the example prog, this will show you the codes for those buttons
Once you have those, you can look them up in table on the same help page to get the correct key() value (e.g. _X or _Y)
Hope thats enough to get you started
