I've just received a g15 keyboard a few days ago and earlier tonight i was incredibly bored so i decided to see what I can come up with

I'm wondering what beneficial/handy/cool things from Renegade and/or IRC can be displayed


Here's a video showing a proof of concept that data from renegade can be passed to the g15 ( With some minor trouble of course )

http://andr3w282.bitpwns.com/concept.mp4 (Cell phone video)

This was done in a combination of shaders.dll + vb.net + LGlcd .net wrapper which wraps the logitech sdk.

Anyone have some cool ideas to put on this thing ?

Looks cool, it's probably a disadvantage to have a Head Up display than needs to you look down, but if you're looking for ideas, I would probably say beacon count downs maybe?

It may be because of the text size, I found it did pixelate in some random situations. Try changing the font or something. I used GDI+ because there are no other tools for creating lines of text. You could just use a sprite, but I am lazy and wanted to acheive something fast.

*note, it has a huge impact on FPS. That is because of GDI+ *

Aye that's the same reason I didn't care about the FPS drop Razz I run vsync so I get 60 fps running it or not, but I gave it to someone and it dropped his quite a bit.
