Time for an update. I have been doing more experimentation with probability Gambas code. It is amazing how useful probability can be, with a little work you can make a functional artificial intelligence with just a random number generator. My code has been taking on some interesting forms, but I dont feel at liberty to tell what yet.

It has been awhile since I have posted anything here. I am happy to say that Gambas 2 is included in the Fedora 9 Repository, and I am pretty happy with the release (No more Separate Windows). I have been messing around with Probability code, and it is pretty interesting. I have built a Gambling game, and I am currently working on a Combat Game. There are two players, and the objective is to defeat the other player in battle. Every time you attack the other player the computer picks a random number (Currently from One to Ten) and decides whether you win or lose based on the result.

We are now also working on Researching Technology in the game. SR 3.0 when it is released will be a big update to Free Empires.

We have been working on several modifications to Gambas Genie, our Gambas RTS Engine which we are using for Free Empires. Such advances we are working on are:
1. Actual Unit Movement like in Age of Empires
2. Resource gathering, not just Resource trade
We are also planning to use SDL for more advanced features.

Free Empires has a new Source Release. We have had this waiting Since October 26, 2007 but could not be upload the damn thing until November 9, 2007. It has several new features that SR 1.0 did not have, such as a functional Age of kings like Market. Here are some of the New features:
1. You can now Win or Lose
2. The Market we mentioned before
3. Background Sounds
4. Sounds in General
And many other features I cant name at the moment.

SR 3.0 is going to be a big release, we hope to make all the graphics rendered with SDL.

I have had difficulty getting id Software games working on Linux (Though this is the Softwares, not Linux's fault). The first id game I got working was Quake III Arena, which worked perfectly except for the Fact OSS did not work. Then I tried getting Doom 3 and Quake 4, then I found out that I need the ATI fglrx Driver, but my Video Card is to old. RTCW did not work on Fedora Core 4, but on Fedora 7 it runs fine. The original Quake runs fine (I have eQuake and X11 Quake). Quake II has been the hardest to get working.

I have had lots of troubles getting good video players for Linux. The one Fedora comes with Totem, works great at playing Ogg Vorbis Video, but all other file types it cant play. Then I tried Helix Player, but I could not get it to play anything.
Then I got Yum to use the Livna RPM Repository, and got Mplayer. It has a little bit of an odd interface, but it plays Video fine. Then I also got Xine, and It plays Videos fine also. What is with the Players in the Fedora Repository not playing lots of Video types?

1. I have already removed Windows from my Computer in favour of Linux.
2. My farther cares about Computer security, and would not like the Fact Norton does not run well on Vista.
3. Many Games (and other programs) have trouble running on Vista.
4. It's GUI Is ugly, some say it is based on the Mac GUI (Also Ugly.)
5. It takes up WAY to much hardware. I would have to buy a new Computer.
6. Windows Vistas has DRM, and other things that spy on you.
7. Windows Vista is expensive, like most versions of Windows.

I have been using Fedora for nearly two years now. In that time I have installed software with RPM Packages, Shell Scripts, and Packages*. Today I am proud to say I can add Tar.gz Archives to my list. Thanks to the help of the FedoraFroum post http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=93025 I have successfully installed the newest version of Cube. If you need help installing Cube, feel free to look at the Link.
*I installed Warzone 1200 on Fedora Core 4 with a file that was marked .package
