Moved source code repo to GitHub. For some reason a while back, my remote SVN setup on GoogleCode stopped working. I didn't bother trying to fix it and looking for an excuse to try out GitHub.
Looks like the last update on GoogleCode was starting to implement the diving attack aliens. The red and yellow aliens are diving very nicely now and collisions are also handled with the fighter. Getting ready to start work on the green bosses.

SABRE Lite i.MX6
First, getting the board running from pre-packaged Ubuntu image is easy thanks to armhf.com:

Building a custom kernel ... you don't have to be a trailblazer here, just follow instructions:
Refer to http://www.eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/i.MX6x+SABRE+Lite
I built some kernels from github.com/RobertCNelson/armv7-multiplatform.git
... but they choked on USB.
Instead I altered the procedure slightly to match the 3.9 kernel as found in the armhf.com image....
git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/imx-devel.git
cd imx-devel/
git checkout origin/v3.9.x-imx -b tmp
./build_kernel.sh
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/tmp/
sudo cp -v imx-devel/deploy/3.9.11-imx5.zImage /media/tmp/boot/zImage
sudo tar xfv ./imx-devel/deploy/3.9.11-imx5-dtbs.tar.gz -C /media/tmp/boot/dtbs/
sudo tar xfv ./imx-devel/deploy/3.9.11-imx5-modules.tar.gz -C /media/tmp/
After completing the above steps, I rebooted the Sabre Lite and ended up with this:
ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu-armhf 3.9.11-imx5 #1 SMP Thu Feb 27 12:22:07 EST 2014 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
