I got this idea when i tried 3dshomebrewchannel.com and played the helicopter game.
So do you guys think that it is possible ?

Well you make sense.

Actualy, I can tell what you're getting at...sort of. Sure, Nintendo could make some cloud-gaming system, but why, when you can have all your games on your SD card? Or you mean homebrew games, through the web? Cause the browser isn't that great...and games through it don't really work too well. Neither do emulators.

Ehh...ehh. You'd have to have access to WiFi 100% of the time, you'd have to have at least 3mbps+ connection, servers can be knocked out, service could cost money, etc etc.

However if Nintendo allowed OnLive to be on the 3DS I'd probably never put my 3DS down. But the chances of this happening are practically none so...

It would not be a good thing. Firstly, it would take away the element of portability, since you have to be around adecent Internet connection. In the UK, we have "Free Public WiFi" hotspots around (though I haven't successfully connected, not even once) but the service will be sluggish as it'd hard to get a hold of bandwidth, let alone a connection.

Also, IMO the hardware isn't that great. I've had a DS Lite, DSi and a 3DS and they all had this strange 1 bar signal even if it's in the same room as the router and next to a laptop that gets a full bar of Wi-Fi.

Aside all that, I'd LOVE for OnLive to be ported to the 3DS. Though games like Assassin's Creed would have small text, I won't mind. I'm in it for the Arena, because that feature is bad-ass!

The 3DS has a WiFi speed of 2.4ghz/802.1, better than the PSP and possibly on par with the 360. Must be your router if this happens to you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.

    I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
