You can always put XP on it. A friend of mine has it on his and it runs very well.

What does not work: shortcuts in general, or the screendump? Scrot is a different screencapture prog, and it works for me. I can even prove it ;)

JL: You could install scrot and set a marcro that makes a screendump when you hit printscreen. Thats basically what I did. I hae short cuts for most common tasks, and it make life a lot easier with the fiddly eee controls.

The eee comes shipped w/ Xandros; another Debian variant. I have eeeXUbuntu on mine, which is a distro that comes bundled w/ the wireless drivers and some configurations.
I havent tried using Blitz in Linux yet, but you could try running it under WINE.

I tried using banks a couple of times in blitz only to find that they were no faster than an array. So I just stuck with using arrays. From what I remember, unlike C, blitz will throw an error when you try and access array elements out of bounds, its the h*snip*

Another random guess is that you could have a problem with the variables scope. In other words: creating a new object within a function using a local variable as its handle. Then outside of the function the handle will be null.

A cheap way to do it in 2d for square walls is to just invert one of the velocities. For example when a ray hits the ground or celing just do vx = -vx. Or if it hits a wall vy=-vy.

random number generator...
11th July 2008

There is a bias to low order bits. To get a better distribution you should generate numbers using high order bits then shift them down to the range you want.
Another, slow, but effective alternative is to keep getting numbers in a loop until one appears t*snip*

Heres an example of how to implement inheritance and polymorphism in Blitz in case you're interested. I dident write it myself. The comments kind of explain whats going on:

Yeah, that gpu does very little; all the video memory is held in ram. Thats why its good to have a decent bus rate. Is the 900 model the one with the big screen?

4th June 2008

The eee is underclocked @630mhz you can comfortably set it at 900. Overclocking the bus is better if you want to play videos as SSHD are slow for sustained transfers(and theres no GPU), mines running at 400mhz. The main problem with this is that it eats th*snip*

Actually, you will need a break statement at the end of each of switch branch, except the last one. So if you removed it completely I think the code would run on to the WM_DESTROY case. Still, you might have other problems. I'm kinda busy atm and I dont re*snip*
