In this regard, you might have noticed the Amazon link on the right side of this page. That is to help this project become self-sufficient in the sense of maintenance expenses like having to renew this site’s domain name, etc. So…

Just to let you know, we’re still working on libKage for Android.

This is due to String:Split bug which we haven’t fixed and a latency and/or fidelity problem with Quixie’s network capability. This fidelity issue is noticed when a server is trying to send a string content to a client in a fast, real-time-like manner. The message is not properly received on the client that some of the text contents are missing.

It is, however, possible to make turn-based game since polling would take lesser processing. With this, I was wondering if it’s actually possible to make a multiplayer poker game like the ones available at partycasino.com. Although one would need a huge amount of moola to operate the server.

We’ve almost released the third installment of v0.4 series during the last week of March but sadly, we can’t. We didn’t have time to fix the problem since we got busy writing libkage for Android last April.

If only we have enough funding so this project’s progress would go smoothly as planned. Like, how expensive is it to buy one of our Smack mugs? Each mug you buy would help fund KonsolScript game programming competition, which would in turn make the competitors-to-be a possible member of the community who would help finish tutorials and document other stuff while I get busy developing the engine.

By the way, a quick shout-out to a friend who has been in Spain for quite some time now, Ghie Esporton, who — in her own little way — spreads the word about KonsolScript — yes, she did talk about it in español.

Hasta pronto, Ghie!

So, we’ve come into selling the usual merchandise for an open source project — nope not shirts (though I’d love to have it, too) — mugs.

Price is Php200, if bought in Philippines plus shipping fee of Php200 — pretty expensive for one mug, if you ask me. So if you and your friends decided to support us, you can maximize the Php200 shipping fee by buying 3 or more. To support orders from countries outside Philippines, we’re setting up our account on CafePress.

Finally, after six months, a friend way back college gave me a used copy of Game Programming Golden Rules. Funny that is only sells for USD 2.00 in Amazon — for a book that contains advanced topics in game development?!? Oh, well. Pretty good bargain, I say.

Thanks, Lester.
