System Requirements

[stked]

Hi everyone.
Are there any defined system requirements for USF? I want to run it on my brother's laptop that's as old as me

[xapantu]

No, there isn't...
But the main developer (tshirtman) develop on a eeepc, a very low computer...

[tshirtman]

I used to develop on a eeepc701 yes, and it was playable, but i think it would be hard for a processor lower than 600Mhz, as for memory i did not test with less than 512, but 256 may be enough…

I don't know how old you are by the way, you could be a 8 year old boy with good english skills or an adult, nothing tell me .

thanks for you interest anyway

I'm 13. EeePC's are really bad. I used one a year ago and I was very unimpressed. Planet Penguin Racer had a really low frame rate. 600 MHz? My brother's laptop is 266 MHz with 64 MB RAM

I think the computer is too bad
And you can't use any recent systems on this computer ?
I think you will have some problem to install python and pygame...

[tshirtman]

Ouch! 266Mhz and 64MB! Sounds like a challenge

Which system do you have on it? old windows or really light linux version?

Anyway you can test, I can tell you that big maps won't work right (big work to scale images) but maybe small ones…

Windows ME. Painful, huh?
Which python and pygame versions are best?

[xapantu]

I think you could try to use the latest python 2.x version and the latest pygame version.

Is a 2 MB NeoMagic MagicGraph128XD anywhere close to possible for playing this game?

The game doesnt use hardware acceleration, framerate depends depends more on the CPU than on the GPU.
