lots of great tidbits in the book. for example the first maps were made in radiant and tested in quake3! with getting fragged by a coworker and all

on the flip side there is u-boot device tree overlays

is this open source? im using an am355x and would be interested in looking if so

No, sorry. I also don't have documentation that I can give. When I left the company, the Beaglebone community was pretty well into a C compiler, which is probably complete by now. There was also some coprocessor library being developed, to provide a nice interface to the host. It was all asm and kernel modules back then. I'm sure things are much easier now.

there's a lot of variety out there. you can spend your entire ticket dorking out on digital modes (esp if you go for general+ and have access to lower bands) like FT8, FT4, Olivia, WSPR [0] to see how far out you can get on as little power as possible and so on.

Or if you want to ease into it, you can get a ham radio w/o a license, or cheap SDR and try to receive and decode weather sats, etc [1]

making tiny WSPR boards and things like APRS [2] interest me more than ragchewing or nets on 40 or 80 meters most of the time

forgot my favorite, amateur SSTV (analog baby!) - can see some analog and hybrid (easylink over internet.. cheating) http://www.g0hwc.com/

my 1080ti ran it fine so its not like you need bleeding edge gpus

no but you need a GPU, and your average person with a work lap-top can't run it and probably postponed buying a desktop computer, if they ever considered it.

980ti here, also no issues.

well.. if you dont want to, you can download tribes1 archives preconfigured and ready to go on modern machines https://playt1.com/ (click on one of the configs)

yak shaving a fist pump, awesome

what about trackers?

Trackers are a very different beast, however for my sake I've found them a good intermediary whilst your looking for the live coding language that suits you.

I use Renoise (not free, but very cheap imo and very powerful), and have a sample pack called AWKW (I think, its something like that) which is just a load of single cycle waveforms, and I use that to build rudimentary subtractive synths.

I think you must mean AKWF, Adventure Kid Wave Forms:

https://www.adventurekid.se/akrt/waveforms/adventure-kid-wav...

4000+ single-cycle wave files of all sorts of sounds from various synths and instruments and such. Lots of great noises in there!

Bingo, that's it

I've been thinking about going even simpler, and just building all my synths out of Sine, Triangle, Square and Sawtooth, but for now AKWF is working a treat

What are you asking? They're a different beast.

yea this is ridiculous, they have lied through their teeth about what happens on Android. tho of course its probably half clueless negligence or a missed change, half not caring. all the same

heck no. but hopefully before the sun extinguishes
