greetings,
i was really wondering wheter you would mention fbirc in your #8 qb express. you did. but uhm you found sshot more intersting. i just wanted to clarify some things. sshot is crappy by it's nature as it was meant to be a simple example game for xteraco so he could start up his own little space shooter. therefor the gfx sucks, there's no sound and the game itself is pretty boring. but the source outlines the concepts very well imo.
i guess it was my fault cause i didn't know that a gallery report needs gfx to be shown. well fbirc has gfx, namely a gui written by von grodic that is based on the fb gfxlib. also fbirc comes with a console frontend. both frontends should work well on linux and windows ( me lazy bastard only tested on windows ). the nice thing about fbirc is that it lets you easily write your own frontend as the interface is small and clean ( 6 functions you need to call, 1 type you have to cope with that handles messages ). dumbledor did an excellent gui based on his wxwidgets port. hope he'll improve it sooner or later.
well, i hope you take my excuse that i was to lazy to write the above text in the original post, maybe fbirc would have gotten more of your attention then. maybe you should also consider also taking non gfx applications into the gallery section unless you are one of those eye candy loving guys hehe. coding <> gfx.
that said i congratulate you on this excellent issue of qb express and hope you keep up the good work. uhm and don't take the above sayins as an offense
