Source & APK code released!


After managing to get rid of some pesky (non-GPL) dependencies (i.e. JSR-173)
I could finally share the source code for FreeCol-Android.

All Android specific code is released under GPLv2 just like the rest of FreeCol.

If you have an Android tablet you can download the APK and give it a try.

Simple outline for multi-sprite characters in Unity 2D using Shader Graph

For the last 6 months I've been working on a new (untitled) 2D game project in Unity both as a way to learn C# and also to play around with some game concepts I've been thinking about for quite a while. Since I'm not much of an artist or a graphic designer I purchased a set of rather nice looking character sprites from  https://tokegameart.net/  that also came with animations and ready to use Unity packages. Since my game has multiple characters on screen at one and each one can be given orders I needed a way to show which one was selected or active. One common way to handle this which felt like a good fit for me is to show an outline around the selected character. Luckily there's a lot of examples and guides explaining how to do this in Unity (and I based this one on a great article by Daniel Ilett). There was one snag though, my characters consist of multiple sprites (one for reach part of the body) that are drawn and animated separately. This meant that it w...

Getting started with OpenSTM32 on OSX

For some time now I have been doing projects (or should I rather say "been playing around") with AVR microcontrollers. Both in the form of different types of Arduinos but also in stand-alone projects (including the USB KVM and a battery powered ATTINY85 board, which I still haven't written a post about). For the most part I really like these microcontrollers, they are versatile, low powered and the development tools available are excellent (and importantly, available on all major platforms). However, In one of my latest projects I encountered a situation where AVRs just might not be enough. What I wanted to do was to capture images from a digital camera module (OV7670) and process them to determine movement speed and direction. While it might in theory be possible to do so on an ATMEGA microcontroller or similar, the small amount of memory available would make such an operation tricky at best. At that point I started looking for a more powerful microcontroller, and o...

Nucleo STM32F446RE and OV7670

After many hours of trial and failure I finally managed to get my OV7670 camera module to work properly with the Nucleo STM32F446RE board. I will try to put together a longer article about some of the issues I encountered and how I solved them but for now the source code is available on GitHub .
