A CHAT WITH NAUGHTY DOG ABOUT NEXT-GEN!


We chatted with Stephen White, co-president and programming manager 
of Santa Monica, CA-based videogame developer Naughty Dog about creating 
games for the next-generation consoles … and he offered some suggestions 
for dealing with next-gen hurdles.


Q. Naughty Dog is known for the “Crash Bandicoot” and “Jak and Daxter” 
franchises which have sold over 35 million units combined. What have 
been the fundamental keys to the success of your titles and how do 
you plan to apply those to your next-generation game development?


A. One of the biggest factors in the making of a successful game 
is hiring very talented people who are motivated and can get the 
job done without the need for extensive management and finely detailed 
schedules.

God yes!

We're shooting for a new rainfall record here in Vancouver, 29 consecutive 
days of rain.. only two more to go.

well when you bet Seattle, let me know :)

Still need 9 days to bit the "flood" length. Prepare your Arch M. 
Noe ;-)

Didn't rain on Sunday, so Vancouver was one day short of a new record.. 
of course, it's pouring today, and probably the rest of the week 
at least.

Volker, you did a diff function at one time (takes two bodies of 
text, and highlights the delta).  can you send me a pointer to that?

There's one in the library: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=diff.r

Yeah, I think Volder did something more impressive.

("yeah" as in I saw that one)

Like Red is deleted stuff,, green is new stuff.  Of course I can 
write this, but I like to see how others have done stuff, and if 
it has any bells and wistles I did not think of

Speaking of which, RebGUI is pretty damn cool.

Thanks, while it's usable as is it's only 60% of where it needs to 
be - but that remaining 40% is some long, hard work and my priority 
at the moment is on commercial projects. I'm hoping to get some time 
to work on it again in about two weeks or so. I've also got my eye 
on the Qtask framework stuff to see where there are any synergies 
(I like the simple almost PDA-like look & feel it has).

I played with Graham's ERM program, and although he seems Tab-happy, 
it also shows off how cool RebGUI is (and fast)

Check out www.Qtask.com/M2 (for Cell phones.

Even more PDA like.

Got a link to Grahams ERM?

http://www.compkarori.com/emr/client.htmlspecific page.

Qtask M2 ... bad link?

It does, but I just leanred it is case sensitive (please trye www.Qtask.com/m2) 
Will fix the case issue.

Task assigned, will be fixed in the next day or so.

This may explain why some cell phones were having trouble.  Good 
to know.

Reichart: maybe you have seen the visual diff on rebol.org. it allows 
to view diffs between different versions of the same script.

Had to search my hd a bit, long not used. found it in a few places, 
uploaded one here: http://polly.rebol.it/test/test/museum/diff/gui/

Will loke more into it later.

Yeah, thi is closer.  I'll just need to change the output style to 
colours, thanks.

Ashley, M2 fixed.

It was not really a Qtask thing as mouch as a server thing.  We added 
a module to Apache.

Makes it ignore case.

Is there a group for rebol color syntax?

If not what would be a good name?

syntax highlighting ?

or just rich-text ...

Yes, "Rich Text" group exists already.

I meant syntax highlighting

yes, but it is related ... and without the rich-text, we are hardly 
going to see rebol based console/editor, supporting such feature 
...

I believe Will means syntax highlighting for other editors

such as TextMate :-)

right!

Is there something similar for rebol?

Rail version much nicer

does anybody know where I could get the lattest version of Show.r 
?

Jean-Francoi: I have a version 1.2.0   do you want ?

has anybody been able to use the file transfer ? I tried to send 
jean-Francois  show.r but did not work ?

alan, it doesn't work under Rebol3

only private worlds then ?

just new worlds I guess

Alan - THanks, but I have the same version. I thought there was a 
more recent one.
	Title: "Slideshow Presenter"
	Author: "Carl Sassenrath"
	Version: 1.2.0
	Date: 14-Dec-2001

there are newer versions, but not published. the version of show 
for devcon 2005 was based on a newer version.
