Question Loud Static with AirPods while playing game pigeon and listening to music on iOS 11 beta 3 by deleted in iOSBeta – gamepigeon 3 points 4 points 5 points 3 years ago (0 children).
I love game pigeon and all, but are a few flaws. Idk if it’s my phone (I don’t think it is it’s new) but whenever I try to just tap on GP to open it it doesn’t work so I have to open App Store, search up the app and tap open.
The pigeon, named New Kim, is known for her speed among people who race pigeons. 5 Killed When 2 Cars Crash In. Shook off 18 months of rust in a matter of moments and finished with 22.
Oumar Johnson ducks to enter his cramped dovecote, built atop a city apartment block, and snatches his favourite pigeon from dozens of birds fluttering and cooing around him.
'This pigeon is called Super King,' he says, holding the animal proudly aloft.
Game pigeon bugs. The pedigree bird is the most expensive pigeon in Senegal, which Johnson bought at auction to inject a competitive edge into the country's fledgeling pigeon-racing scene.
The 30-year-old scientist is one of a small but growing number of Senegalese men who have fallen for the charms of breeding and racing homers, some to the point of obsession.
Super King cost the equivalent of about 650 euros ($813), a hefty price in a country where the minimum wage is some 90 euros a month.
'We have a sort of addiction to this animal, the homing pigeon,' says Johnson, the president of the Senegalese federation of pigeon fanciers. 'It's another way of life.'
Long established in countries such as Belgium, France and China, pigeon racing took off in Senegal only over the past decade after ornamental bird breedersstumbled across the sport online, according to Johnson.
The West African nation now boasts some 350 enthusiasts, many of whom ignore protests from family and loved ones and devote most of their free time, and sizeable sums of money, to their pigeons.
Most, like Johnson, keep their lovingly tended birds in wooden dovecotes on rooftops in dense urban areas.
From his roof in a suburb of the capital Dakar, 40-year-old shopkeeper Moustapha Gueye releases scores of pigeons from their acrid-smelling loft. They rush into the air and are quickly out of sight.
'Like a drug': Pigeon racing takes flight in Senegal
'They are athletes so they need to train,' he says, explaining that the pursuit demands both time and brainpower.
He not only feeds and exercises the pigeons each morning, but he also handles veterinary care and develops cross-breeds suitable for flying in hot weather.
'It's something that can't be explained,' Gueye says, smiling as he describes his feelings when his pigeons return after a long race.
- 'Like a drug' -
Senegal's racing season, featuring nation-spanning contests, began in November after the end of the rains.
In late October, dozens of mostly young men brought crates of homers to a suburban Dakar rooftop to register them for a pre-season test race -- one of several that took place that weekend.
Volunteers registered and tagged the birds in a lively atmosphere, joking and chatting until well after midnight.
Then, so-called convoyeurs drove the tagged pigeons to the city of Diourbel, about 160 kilometres (100 miles) east of Dakar, to be released early the next morning.
'It's like a drug,' says Johnson, who attended the pre-race registration, explaining the appeal of the sport.
The next day, race participant Mamadou Diallo is standing on his Dakar rooftop with several friends, scanning the crystal-blue skies for his pigeons.
The 33-year-old electrical engineer, a self-professed pigeon fanatic, is pacing back and forth in anticipation.
Suddenly a shout goes up. Pigeons on the horizon. Diallo, in excitement, skits around the rooftop blowing a whistle and rattling a plastic bottle to lure the pigeons back into their dovecote.
He carefully notes their arrival times, which the race organisers will later compare with other pigeons that raced from Diourbel.
Afterwards, a more relaxed Diallo describes pigeons as his passion but jokes that his wife chastises him for wasting his time. On top of work and family obligations, he frets about his animals' welfare.
'It's normal because.. I put them in a cage, I am responsible for them.'
- 'Greatest pigeon nation' -
Senegalese pigeon-racing enthusiasts are keen to turn others on to the sport, and some hope to ultimately turn professional.
It has already grown apace. About 15 people practised the sport in 2010, according to Diallo, compared with more than 300 today. Teenagers are also increasingly interested.
'It is my one and only dream to bring pigeon-racing to the (rooftops),' Diallo says, adding that he wants his children to get involved too.
He worries that the time commitment and costliness of keeping pigeons could distract youngsters from their studies, however.
Johnson, the pigeon-fanciers' president, shares his concerns, noting that some people take their dedication too far.
'When you're too busy with pigeons, things risk going badly,' he says, adding that the federation is considering less time-consuming races for youngsters.
Young people are nonetheless the future of the sport, Johnson says, adding that their devotion will make Senegal 'one of the greatest pigeon-racing nations' one day.

How can we attract more players to Tiberian Sun?
Pigeon replied toGrant's topic in Tiberian Sun
Oh, I'm sorry but IMHO Your work barely fills the term of 'strategy guide'. Except general descriptions here'n'there this so-called 'guide' isn't guiding at all. For instance - what is (or was) the most popular army composition for GDI and Nod? How to make fast eng-rush? How to control the map? What are the key points on several maps to keep eye on? How to expand?I'm not critisizing nor arguing with You but lack of basic build orders or how to control army numbered in few dozens are just a few things to hand on utter novice.StarCraft: Brood War isn't apealing at all. Before I've stumbled upon Team Liquid's Guide I was unable to win a single game. Once I've learned two cheesy BO's I've started winning against players who also lacked of proper guidance.

FPS is bound with animation and only then it makes a real difference. If Rifleman shoots in interval of 2-3 frames with game refreshing at 25 FPS, the same unit will shoot faster with 60 FPS refresh rate. Hence is why Blizzard made a huge mistake with refresh rate at the early version of StarCraft because it was bound to CPU speed. I don't have to mention that Blizzard's IP needs approx. 100 Mhz (even less) and when CPU clocks gained significant power the game was simply unplayable on newer CPU's. That's why the game had to be slowed down back to around 23 FPS (on fastest setting).However, the C&C titles suffers from lack of stable refresh rate. Even though for newer rigs it's not a big deal to play 20 yo game, the game engine is still the same and FPS drops are still siginificant. Despite sincere desires of community hackers, some obstacles cannot be overcomed due to game engine which is simply obsolete and requires abandoned solutions no longer supported by modern systems. For some of You who don't follow: OpenRA runs flawlessly because it was written from scratch with up-to-date solutions used in gaming industry. Same things won't work with C&C95 or RA2 simply because game engine is a proprietary thing and freeware don't make it any easier. Even abandonware is not that abandoned if you rewrite application from ground-up.

If You want to attract newcomers to the game the easiest way is to write / record strategy guides with openings, mid-game tactics and late-game instructions. This is how StarCraft maintain player base, because there is always something to learn or practice about. Anyway, I know there are some strategy guides 'out there' but honestly, we should consider upload them on some Wiki fanpage with link to CnCNet so new players won't feel lost.What are pros? First of all, the veterans can assume that rivals at least knows basics. That makes game at least competetive and not a waste of time when the oponent rather on conflict focuses on base-building. Secondly, players at least know what are the build orders so even if they don't feel confident in 1v1, they can try 2v2 or 4v4. Lastly, organise some kind of 'n00b League' with 'no pressure' rules so even if some people won't make any progress after some time in game, they can at least have some fun.

I have a different kind of issue with game. When i turn in on, and try to record it using FRAPS it gets crash. I can't even beat first GDI mission because of that. I tried many different options, many configurations - no results. When i'll get back home i'll try upload error message that pops-up right after crash.Cheers!

Pigeon replied toRetired's topic in CnCNet Discussion
The easiest way to fight with cheating, would be program which scans local game folder for search of any unaccepted files selected by community. However, the problem is that the trainer can be run out of the game folder, and / or replace official files with corrupted ones.I've seen such application in StarCraft. It's called 'ICCup Launcher' and it includes Anti Hack. I have no idea how it works - because i'm not a programmer - but i never seen a hacks during games using ICCup Launcher.

You downloaded it from Ubuntu distro? Because latest (stable) version is 1.6.1., but you have to add Wine repository:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppaBack to topic..I'm using PlayOnLinux, which is based on Wine and allows to use many Wine versions for each installed program. For example: i have StarCraft, Origin and CnCNet installed, but each of them are using seperate versions of Wine for best performance. StarCraft: BW is using 1.5.1 Wine, because latest versions of Wine don't work properly with BattleNet (issues with BNet graphic overlay). Here it is how it look like:CnCNET works marvelous with Wine (no difference at all to Windows), but it has some issues with virtual drives. Somehow it doesn't see a virtual drive on which it is installing. I had to manually select 'default' drive, and during installation process change the destination folder. It's not a huge problem. Just inconvenience. I don't know even how it could be fixed, but other programs don't force me to install them in 'Downloaded' folder

Your installer isn't working properly on Linux. More precisely with PlayOnLinux. For no obvious reason it doesn't see virtual drive on which program is installing - with some workarounds it installs correctly, but it's an uncomfortable issue. Nevertheless program runs smoothly as it should be.
