i remember once doing a (real) football coaching course where you'd play quick games and if you had an extra person or a really good player they'd play as a "flow player" for whichever team had the ball. to summarise i think they might mean people who can flow between roles as and where they're needed, because specialisations aren't important

I would like feedback as well as input on further ideas for what I can do with my Parallella.

Sweevo posted:did you try installing ubuntu? I already did, but thanks for the suggestion! I'm actually in the process of writing up a series of thoughts on installing Ubuntu on the Parallella - I'm afraid the disk I/O makes it a bit slower than I'd hoped, but in time I'm sure they can utilize the cores to improve the performance on this stage as well.

Are you a manchild who didn't like Skyward Sword? This kickstarter is for you! Second Quest is a stand-alone graphic novella inspired by Zelda. It's an original story about a young woman from a small town in the sky who begins to suspect that the legends about her home aren't true. If you like mysterious landscapes, non-princesses, videogame criticism, or general gorgeousity, then please consider backing Second Quest! SAVING ZELDA David and I are both huge Zelda fans. We love the adventure, the challenge, the constant sense of discovery. We especially love exploring worlds full of secrets. Last spring, after my essay “Saving Zelda” was published, we started talking about all our frustrations with the latest in the series, Skyward Sword. With all the handholding, there was little to discover on our own. We didn’t have to pay attention – the adventure just kind of happened. We couldn’t really get lost in Hyrule, even if we wanted to. As we talked, an original story of our own emerged, one that took these Zelda problems (common to many other modern games as well!) and explored them in comic form. The idea was for a short comic at first, but it quickly grew much bigger over the summer as we developed the story, characters, and world. By the end, we found ourselves with the script and concept art for a complete graphic novella. Second Quest is a comic for those who love videogames but want more compelling worlds and a sense of real discovery. Zelda fans will enjoy familiar motifs turned upside-down, but you don’t have to know Zelda to enjoy our story. It’s for anyone who’s felt the pull of distant landscapes and longed to explore a world full of mystery.  (42k of 50k funded)

 Our prototype currently works for the NES, SNES, and N64 systems, but only one at a time. To switch to a different console, we currently have to recompile the software.
