• Colin Reid Can we modify our bots now!?!

  The www.robotinvaders.com site says that we are only required to host our robots until November 15, 2006. Since this is the case and the judging period is over (I think it is anyways) can we modify our bots now 5. Host the robot on your server Publish your BOT to a personal Web space. You must host your robot until November 15, 2006. Thanks for the information Todd. Where are the winners published Thanks in advance. I totally agree! There is so much I still want to do. I think what would be cool is encapsulating the core bot functionality into a web service. That way you could easily transfer it to another platform. I could also allow other developers to gain access to certain web methods. I love web services! So many po ...Show All

• SGraham1985 How to add soft keys / menus to Windows mobile 5.0 pocket pc MFC dialog based application?

  How to add soft keys / menus to Windows mobile 5.0 pocket pc MFC dialog based application I am able to create the menu resource. But I am not able to add the menu to the dialog as I normally do in desktop MFC application.

• nhaas Any examples of new SDK's custom tile layer, but loading a mapcruncher created layer instead of the custom tile layer?

  I didn't seem to find any references to how the mapcruncher layer object precisely "maps" to the new VETileSource object in the new SDK reference. It seems it would need to reference the layer's crunched xml file instead of the tile images directly, right Thanks for any help on this! Hi Caleb, I guess what thru me off is that I don't see any reference to the Layers crunched xml file URL or any reference to activating the alpha layer, both which are steps in the mapcrucher layer load I'm using now. Am I right that I can just point to my mapcrucher gernerated tiles directly and it will work here's my present code using the mapcrucher provided example: var layers = MSR.CVE.ImportLayersFromAnchorHRef("C ...Show All
