Version 4.3 - the pretty close to done mix. www.incitti.com/Blitz |

To get it working on Linux I needed to add to grid.bmx:?Linux Framework BRL.GLMax2D and change import "Utils.bmx" in gridparttrail.bmx (case sensitive issue): Import "utils.bmx" and my nvidia driver only supports 24 bit framebuffers so had to modify lines 239 and 240 of gridparttrail.bmx to get it running. The GraphicsModeExists stuff should probably check for 32, 24 and 16 bit depths for improved compatability across all platforms. Other than that very, very sweet! If you want to host a Linux version let me know and I'll send you a build to distribute. |

Mark, I downloaded gridwars tonight (monday night) Game is great. Runs fast. I used Hybrid control. I can't last over a minute. I suck, lol. Longest time was 59 seconds. Will have to play more. Thanks for making this game. ------ I hope you get your bandwidth issue fixed. Unfortunately, I'm currently unable to help donate to the bandwidth fund. I sent you an email about a possibility on resolving future bandwidth issues. Thanks for gridwars again. Dave |

Mark, Have loaded GridWars on Vista Feb2006 CTP. As expected, OpenGL is pretty slow (as forewarned by Microsoft). Re-compiled under DX and runs probably better than WinXP! and thats using the reference driver supplied for nVidia cards (TI4800 GeForce4). Thought you might want to know if you intend on releasing (and probably everyone) - perhaps a command-line option to allow either DX or OpenGL. |

Hey Skid/Simon! Thanks for that linux info. Try the latest build (4.5) Let me know if there are any other issues that prevent linux building. Mark |

GREAT im so jealous how did you learn to do that???? |

Pure quality. I love those black-hole thingy-me-do-dahs which cause havock on the grid. |

This fantastic game is starting to gain some fame... Here is an extremely in-depth, and tremendously glowing review. http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/grid/wars.htm |

Mark1nc that is awesome. Well done. Keyboard controls work lovely. Recompiling it under DX really shows why Mark Sibs was right to include DX support on Windows. A lot faster/smoother (for me at least). |
| ||
Beaker, do you notice any difference between BufferedD3D7Max2DDriver and the regular one? |
| ||
Like what? Actually I did just notice that neither of the DX modes (Buffered/Unbuffered) show the grid, which might explain the speed. :P |
