Spaghetti - Spaghetti - Spaghetti

[keeperx]

Not all people sell their shows, Andrew. There are people giving away shows for Mamba and LD-2000. In time, I think Spaghetti would have built a following as well. But it's not going to happen overnight, or even in a year. Pangolin's FB3 has been around at least 3 years, and there are still only a handful of shows for the LA Studio software that comes with it.

If Gary is willing to be patient, in time he might get more shows. But it's going to take time. And if he keeps removing the download link from his website, people are going to assume it's abandonware and look elsewhere for their laser show software.

Anthony,
if you sleep with my dog you can bite my sister..
..

naahhhh i really don't like dogs.. and dogs don't like me :-)
Getting bitten by a dog is easy for me... so that would have been a win win situation.

NONE.. (that i know of)

Bold effect added.

There *are* other free laser show software packages out there. You just don't know about them. A quick search through the PL archives might point you in the right direction. However, to sum up: Uclinux laser is free. Poplescan is free. There is an early version of HE-Laserscan that is free. And there is the LFI Player that is soon to be re-released with a new user's manual and added features. That's just off the top of my head; I'm sure there are others.

Having said that, I think Gary's software is fairly easy to use, and thus is a good fit for the hobbyist community. I think that it is one of the better, if not the best, free laser show software packages out there - at least based on my personal experience. (Disclaimer: I haven't seen the LFI player or Agilent-C's project, so they may be better or worse.)

I'm not going to get into the whole "Spaghetti vs Mamba Black" or "Spaghetti vs anything else" argument, because it's not really important. The folks that are using Spaghetti are probably not in the market for Mamba anyway, so what's the point?

Gary has the opportunity to do something nice for the community. From his posts above, it seems that he is reluctant to do so, however. We'll see I guess...

adam.. none of those do what spaghetti does
UCLINUX stopped in april of 2004
LFI and HE do not have a "timed to music" ability

so there is nothing that does what spaghetti does.. (that i know of)
