#openttdcoop

While browsing tt-forums I stumbled upon a LED Counter created in an OpenTTD game. This is an amazing work because you require a basic knowledge about electronics as well as about OpenTTD and signaling. This work inspired me and I planned to do some other constructions.

Of course this counter is a complex electronic circuit and we should not look at it in a too close manner. It uses half-adders, memory and a lot of logic gates. But some parts, especially the logic gates, are really interesting.
My first intention was to optimize them to be useful in #openttdcoop network games.

Logic Gates – An Overview

Boolean Operators a.k.a. Signals
First of all, we’ll have a look at the requirements to understand logic gates, as I create them, in OpenTTD. A default signal can be either red or green. These two states can be defined as true and false or as 1 and 0 or zero and non-zero or easily as yes and no. In fact, Read the rest of this entry »

Late yesterday another release candidate of the next stable version of OpenTTD was made public by the devs. The logs show that they’ve been on a real bug fixing spree on that branch. Have a look and download this RC from sourceforge.

Today another (official) step ahead in the OpenTTD development has been done: a first release candidate for OpenTTD 0.6.1 was released to public. It basically is a maintenance release which fixes a number of bugs in the 0.6.0 version which in itself shows again the huge dedication of all people who devote their time to the development of this game. Thanks a lot also from this side!

Get the release candidate from the openttd.org website and have a look at the changes in the related forum thread. Enjoy!

Now it’s for real: the final version of 0.6.0 has already been released late yesterday and it looks like it isn’t an April’s fools joke.

Go and get it from sourceforge, enjoy and thank the people behind this for another milestone in the OpenTTD development.

The time has come, the 0.6.0 branch seems to near it’s end, the first release candidate has been released tonight. Go and get it from sourceforge now.

The amount of changes again reflects on how much work is put into this project by the dev team.
