Luanux Alpha R2: an in-development windowing system for your PSP
Luanux Alpha R2 is a windowing system created by Tactical Penguin for the PSP. The windowing system, while not complete, will still allow you to make multiple windows anywhere on the PSP’s screen.
Here are the features and effects currently implemented on Luanux since Alpha R1:
- Implemented coroutines
- Added startbar with filebrowser, soon to become application launcher
- Rewrote menu bar for better efficiency, now blits one image for the menu bar no matter how many windows are open instead of an image for each open window (didn’t help as much as hoped but is still an improvement)
There’s not a lot yet to talk about regarding the application, but Tactical Penguin did mention in our forums that he hopes to make an OS-like shell based on what he’s created. We’re hoping him the best in that, because it certainly looks nifty from our end. In any case, give it a try, and feel free to add comments and suggestions on our bulletin board for Tactical Penguin to read. Enjoy!
