I'm using BZ 2.0.0, under Ubuntu Linux (debian derivitive) on AMD64. My plan is to base my chair so instead of hooking up to the computer, it hooks up to a game controller. Thus, the game controller should make it work without much coding.

lol, this is hilarious. No way its real though...

I am attempting to build a motion sensing chair, but I don't have much time and its a good bit of work...

sorry about the non responses. School work packed up pretty bad the next day, and I got sick too. I am pretty close to zero free time, as I ski instruct a lot.

i've got a pic, but where is the button to attach a file?

SNOW DAY!
I guess I've got plenty of time to work.

ya, its the one from parallax. Not quite sure how to use it, but I know a little C and a little Basic. I might bypass it completely and just modify a game controller I have though, as I want to use parts easily available. Any suggestions for building a motion sensor? I'm thinking a small tin can, wi...

ok, i've got a game controller to work with here. This is my plan, so I don't need to do anything complicated: Construct several motion sensors, mount on chair. Have these hooked up to switches (on low power motors), which control higher power motors. These higher power motors control the game pad. ...

ok, I've got ActiveDeath(tm) Implemented I just ordered: 10 high voltage tasers 9 bottles of arsenic 8 sharpened axes 7 super sleeping pills 6 psycho servo's 5 rolls of duct tape 4 hypodermic needles 3 french guitines 2 shot guns and some C4, from the military (To be sung to the tune of "The Tw...

I have a rolly chair/spinny chair, plus some spair motors and a basic stamp. If I can figure out how how to wire up the basic stamp, I could probably get atleast turning with the chair, although not sure what to do for forwards/backwards. I'd use the height level for jumping. I think this could be f...

Way back, I would play for hours on end, and usually hit ~ -80 before giving up

It could feature ActiveDeath technology to enhance the user experience Actually, if I get a snowday tommorow, I wonder how hard it would be to wire up a chair to some motors which turn a mouse or something, cause that would be pretty cool. And for jumping, it would just automatically use that pump ...

I just had an idea that many bz addicts would pay good money for...

A chair with a base that acts as a joystick, so when they jerk, the tank responds. Also, it should have forcefeedback, and throw them on to the floor when they get hit.

lol

I generally manage to stay in my chair (its a rolly spinny one), but sometimes when bullets are coming at me, if I start turning my head way to the side like i'm trying to turn the picture.

I haven't played bz for the better part of the school year (lots of HW to do), but I just got some more time recently and was pleasently surprised to find 2.0.0 (of course, I needed to Alien a Suse 64-bit RPM to get it to install on amd64 deb). Its great fun, but there is one thing I noticed. If I p...

In like 20 minutes. Get there if you want to play.

Who said anything about ducati style? This isn't gonna be ducati. We'll have jumping. So far it seems no rogue, but the vote is when everyone is actually on the server tommorow.

everyone who signed up, come. I hope you can make it Ducati. Oh, as far as teh rogues go, you seem very against them. How about this, once everyone has come to the game, we vote, and if we vote no rogues, the rogues are evenly distributed about each team. That sound good?

STAY AWAY FROM THAT STUFF KIDS


I'll be willing to help out if any of the coding can be done in Python or Tcl (I have yet to learn php, but I may give it a try).

I'm Eastern Standard Time, and it should be 6. If Daylight savings time messes that up, can someone tell me?

I'll ask a few of my friends what they think too. BTW, anymore people? I'm going for atleast 2 people per team.

Good point. I'll be there through the match. How about, if a rogue is consistantly picking on a team, i'll warn the rogue, and then kick him if he continues.

They don't win or loose. They are just there to disrupt things. Maybe we should have a rule that they are not allowed in the "Castles".

What team?

You need to choose a team....
