1. CASIO E-125 MIPS @ 180MHz<br>2. 21.33MB Program / 4.62MB Storage<br>3. Yes<br>4. Yes, quite a few .txt files<br><br>Oh, and no matter what I do, it will not install on my Storage Card through ActiveSync (3.1).<br><br>And yes, the iPaq uses a landscape type screening address, whereas the Casio does not. [EDIT] But you already knew that, because it's in your EasyCE routines.

[Phantom]

I know the iPaq uses a landscape layout internally; problem is, does GAPI return the address of the lower left corner when you call GXBeginDraw, or the upper left corner? I believe I read somewhere once that GAPI *always* returns the upper left corner, and that would mean that the frame buffer on the iPaq actually starts 320 pixels before that. I don't take that into account with EasyCE.

[Digby]

Yep, GXBeginDraw returns the address for pixel (0,0) in portrait orientation.  The start of the actual frame buffer is:<br><br>WORD *pwScnBuf = (WORD*)GXBeginDraw() - 319;<br><br>

So, will it work on my E-125 yet or not?

[Phantom]

Moose,<br><br>Ehm, this will only improve EasyCE apps on iPaq. The E125 has an internal buffer that is oriented like you expect (portrait), so this tip will not help to fix the E-125 version. Does anyone have an E-125 with a USB cable for debugging? I have absolutely no clue why AliCE wouldn't work on the E-125.<br><br>Digby: Thanks a lot for the info. EasyCE will be updated. New EasyCE sources will be posted with the sources for spritesunlimited somewhere next week.<br><br>- Jacco.

Interesting little app.  You used eVC++ I assume.  See, now we need to get someone with too much time on their hands to port Prolog to CE, then I will be happy.  If that happens, then you can right some real AI stuff...<br><br>Probably won't happen though...and I'm not doing it.

[Phantom]

Is Prolog still being used for AI? Alice (not mine, but the original) won last years Loebner contest, and it's written in Java.

[RICoder]

Dude, Prolog is not only still alive, but is now OO AND COM+ compliant.  I use it in Expert System development.  Definately worth the effort to learn for ALL programmers, teaches you new ways of looking at things...ya know?

[eminefes]

Damn, the same problem happens on my EM-500.  The error comes up and the taskbar disappears (I'm also using Wisbar).  I was looking forward to playing it too

[Moose or Chuck]

i've got an E-125 and usb cable, but i'm not to adept at VC++ but if you want straight VC++ Debugging i may be able to tell you wtf is wrong
