A Somewhat Ity Bity Posty
This one is just a quick status update!
China
Well, I’m heading off on the 13th! The flight is to Beijing via Singapore. I’ve decided I shall try and visit Tibet at some point during my travels, which should be very rewarding.
The general travel plan is to follow the east coast, around to the south, and around; then enter Tibet, leave tibet; then follow the silk road route into China; then perhaps back to Beijing, Shanghai or Hong Kong… However, it’s still up in the air as yet.
In the more immediate future, I’m doing a “teaching conversational english” [introductory] course next week. I wonder how useful it will be!
C-Dogs SDL
I’m hopefully going to do another release before I head off to China. Things to look forward to are:
- A Windows binary! It seems to work on XP…
- Fast scaling and multiple resolution support — you can now use C-Dogs on a variety of monitors/resolutions with ease
- Smarter timing, which doesn’t require threads
- And lots of cleanups and small bug-fixes
The first point will be of interest to most! :)
I’m not sure what will happen with C-Dogs SDL while I’m away… I’ll probably have to put things on hold for a while. Feel free to submit patches, however. :-D

Uhh… to get the Windows one working, I found I had to compile SDL and SDL-mixer from scratch as well (there seemed to be issues with the MingW/Cygwin precompiled one). All of this was done with Linux and xMingW. The system was XP + SP2, and it seemed to work well enough (compared previous attempts where the most things failed to blit properly)…
