Bad News Visuals: Virne Sound: Nosfe/Grey Park End song: David Rovics (www.davidrovics.com) Contact: jani.lainesalo[at]gmail.com www.davidrovics.com Uses: Kuler by Adobe Fmod by Firelight Technologies Microsoft SAPI for speech LibCurl DirectX ofcourse Notes: Might need latest DirectX. (August 2009 release maybe?) Should work on XP and Vista. Some decent graphics card and cpu highly recommended. Atleast during development, some stability problems existed. Rerunning demo usually does the trick if something happens. Especially Kuler RSS seems to be sloooow, so don't panic if "LOADING" screen takes long. Running: By default demo autodetects highest resolution available and uses that. If that is big no no, modify "res1024x768.xml" accordingly and run demo with xml as argument. Like this: badnews.exe res1024x768.xml Feeds: You can change the feeds from feeds.xml. Demo should be able to read any rss 2.0 stream. (Big should.) Timeouts are long for a reason.
