EXCERPTS FROM ARKAOS DEVELOPER CONVERSATION

EXCERPTS FROM A CONVERSATION WITH THE HEAD OF THE THE ARKAOS DEVELOPMENT TEAM:

ANDREAS NICHOLAS WROTE:
> ...I sometimes wonder if anybody really understands the true potential of this program.....


PIERRE GUILLUY WROTE:
> [IN TERMS OF AN AUDIO ENGINE] I know there's a lot to do with sound, and that's why we won't release a
half working feature.

ANDREAS NICHOLAS WROTE:
> I thought I'd mention that one thing I've been really thinking about
> is how much arkaos should be able to control actionscript games.
> having control of flash games, being able to set their controllers to
> different keys or controllers possibly. I don't know what that would
> entail, but being able to put swf games into arkaos would be HUGE.
> controlling live effects etc. the wii controller... think of the children!
>

PIERRE GUILLUY WROTE:
The flash support on mac will be enhanced in the next version coming in
a few weeks.
Because I like to experiment, I'm playing with the wiimote and my
computer at home, and indeed, there's a huge potential around that!

ANDREAS NICHOLAS WROTE:
> I do this with a video input now because I don't know how else to live
> effect games, but mashup is still young...
>

PIERRE GUILLUY WROTE:
The best will come ;-)
>
> keep up the good work!
