Beagle kart

[wolterh]

Oh, lets change it to 3.0, I just googled cc-by-sa and I saw the 2.5 version first, 3.0 is fine

I will do the icon as soon as my Inkscape stops freezing, I don't know what's wrong with it :S
And about the animations hm... :P I may upload a new version with more detailed animations when I have time, I see it difficult though as I am in classes again and started working on the Android kart

[KroArtem]

Don't bother about animations, I think they look pretty ok. May be just to change it a bit -- for example, Beagle makes three slaps with his hands -> pause for 2 seconds, then he again slaps (I think it is not very difficult to do)

[wolterh]

Hm, I think it looks more repetitive if the character takes a pause after every 3 claps, I think I will leave it as is for now, and maybe later alter the animation a little bit. This new upload of the kart brings only one change, the license is now CC-BY-SA 3.0. The license is linked to from the LICENSE file packed in the archive.

Hi,

nice job Now we just need an icon

[Auria]

hi wolterh,

sorry for lack of activity. I would like to include Beagle in the game, but would need someone to make an icon

[Dakal]

i made one.

[KroArtem]

Wow, what a quick reply!
Hope it'll fit the other karts and Auria will add this icon to the trunk

[Auria]

Nice icon
Is it vectorial? Of course usually we like having a SVG vectorial file, but I think you usually work in bitmap

yes it's bitmap.

[Auria]

wolterh, your kart has been added to SVN, congratulations

Beagle will be include in 0.7 ... ?

[Auria]

0.7.1, likely, yes

[KroArtem]

It is a good kart and it is worth adding it to 0.7.1 release. If you play a bit with Beagle, you'll mention that is is powerful, easy controlled, solid
May be it doesn't fit a lot with other karts (Pidgin, Gimp and other programs/karts are more famous) but luckily it is not me who need to decide whether we accept this or that kart or decline it.

[STKRudy85]

0.7.1, likely, yes

Which kart you think to remove instead ?

[Auria]

0.7.1, likely, yes

Which kart you think to remove instead ?

We discussed this on IRC, but for everyone else : I do not plan to remove another kart for the 0.7.x series

[wolterh]

Great! I am very excited to have the Beagle kart included in the next release
Thanks for making the icon Dakal!

I see two problems with the beagle kart:
First, the icon should be mirrored, because Beagle is the only kart that faces left. And second, when you look at the winning animation on Canyon, you'll see that Beagle's arms have the same color as the ground, so you don't see them really moving.

Hi,

I committed the mirrored beagle icon, thanks

I've played with Beagle recently, and I've noticed it sometimes seems to float a few centimeters above the ground. I think this is because the shadow image doesn't include the wheels of the kart and just adding them would fix it.

Just a little "up" on this topic as I recently discovered the "Beagle" project, which is a desktop search tool, is actually dead, and its website http://beagle-project.org/ is not reachable anymore...

[Kinsu]

What a pity... Thank you for the info.

seems like the beagle kart doesn't have a good future in sight

[Ludsky]

Beagle is good Kart but is big

[qubodup]

Karts will be removed if the associated projects 'die'?
