Got the Nexus One tonight

Sometime ago I downloaded the Android SDK, extract it to C:\, run the SDK Setup, download the packages, then add a Virtual Device to match the specification HTC Magic, install the USB driver, that's it. I tried publish from Unity 3 beta 5 and the Roll-a-ball project on my HTC magic, but not success as it is only work with Android 2.0 and above.


Tonight I Unity Android bundle Nexus One tonight, I'd like to see how the Unity iPhone examples work on the Nexus One.


After add the Virtual Device match the Nexus One, I build the Roll-a-ball again as I am using Beta 6 now, Unity compalin someting sound function is obsoleted, I don't care just comment out of that line.



After build the apk, I install it to my android using "adb install Roll-a-Ball.apk", bingo, the app install successfully on my Nexus One. I tried some other examples and also work.


Now everything is ready, it's time to learn about Unity scripting...along with my MSc project.

Mono 2.6.7 on CentOS 5.5

I successfully install Mono 2.6.7 without using the source. There is a Mono repoistory available on Mono web site, so using the Package Manager is much easier.

Launch the Package Manager, select Edit->Repoistories; Choose Add.
Give the Repoistory name and description "Mono", in Location input the url:
http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/

Select Advance and enable GPG key:
http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/RHEL_5/repodata/repomd.xml.key

That's it! Now the Package Manager will refresh, so to search Mono and the latest Mono will be there.

Microsoft name is first game console with the button "X", and the , so it name XBOX.
The successor of XBOX took the circle button, since circle is 360 degree, so the current Microsoft console is Xbox 360.
