The RawInput API lets you distinguish between different keyboards, so it would be possible to implement this functionality in Windows using that.

Just found these interesting open source audio mixer projects that may help the ROS audio evolving.

As always collaboration with 3rd party devs (instead of "stealing" their code) would be great:

- https://github.com/Klocman/Automatic-Volume-Mixer
- https://github.com/thenfour/Volumizer

I have shared a few links in Mattermost. But it's hard to find them among other things. I'd like to add them here with some additions:
  • https://github.com/microsoft/checkedc : A subset of C, such as Safe-C, by Microsoft. It is possible to use -if intended- via clang. ThFabba's clang experiments shown that it is not impossible. Yet, it can be called a new dialect or an entire new language, and that adds unnecessary complexity. It's the same as adding more C++ or Rust in kernel.
    Checked C is an extension to C that adds checking to detect or prevent common programming errors such as buffer overruns and out-of-bounds memory accesses.
  • https://github.com/HoShiMin/Avanguard : The Win32 Anti-Intrusion Library. The library itself may not be usable as is. But what it does and how it does might be helpful. I haven't mentioned this before.
  • https://github.com/emeryberger/DieHard : I have mentioned this in the forum before. It is another memory allocator. This is not about speed of allocation, but about being error-resistant. It says:
    DieHard was the direct inspiration for the Fault-Tolerant Heap incorporated in Windows 7, though it goes far beyond it in terms of reliability.
Many of you probably know these already. I hope this does not count as spamming.

Cool links collection to carefully evaluate in order to involve devs:

I can't access the chart image. It was uploded 2007 so it's probably not there anymore.
Can you upload it again and post the new link?
ReactOS is in early development phase! And ReactOS is not Linux.

I'm pretty sure they're referring to the first post in this thread. Unfortunately the user, mf, was last active January 21st, 2009.

The Wayback Machine's archive of the page from 2013 even shows that the image is broken: http://web.archive.org/web/201311122022 ... f=2&t=3913

Ah, ok. thanks (Yes, I was referring to the first post in this thread where some info is in a chart about what to post here).

This might be useful for ReactOS specifically.

This is PC version remake of Amiga computer (polish, fps) game, it works on Reactos :) One of my favorit one (and I think not only my). Other (I guess 3 or 4) languages are supported, only need to install some gfx library (not sure, gl or sdl).
Source code is avaliable also, so please try.

I wonder whether game like this can be available on system downloader in games section.

I am unsure whether this game will be useful to ReactOS, possibly the other way round. When ROS is usable there will certainly be games in the app package manager, it might well fit there.

MIT license does not exist. Most cases what people think is the MIT licence is the Expat License. That is GPL compatible.
Why isn't the Xfree86 license GNU compatible? All it says is that you need to say ROS was made using fooware, if you use fooware to make something else. Or does that violate the GNU's strict, enslaving terms on those matters?

ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...
