fWotD Episode 2881: Flotilla (video game) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 25 March 2025 is Flotilla (video game).Flotilla is a 2010 turn-based strategy space combat video game developed by Brendon Chung's studio, Blendo Games. The game was released in March 2010 on Steam for Microsoft Windows and on Xbox Live Indie Games for the Xbox 360. Flotilla was designed with Microsoft's XNA tools, and its development was influenced by animals as well as board games such as Axis and Allies and Arkham Horror. The game takes the player in an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy.Chung began developing Flotilla immediately after the closure of Pandemic Studios, where he had worked as a designer. The new game used assets imported from Chung's early space combat prototype, Space Piñata. Flotilla incorporates several pieces of classical music in its score, such as Chopin's "Raindrop" prelude. It received mixed reviews from video game media outlets, scoring 72 out of 100 on review aggregate website Metacritic, and was included in Mike Rose's book 250 Indie Games You Must Play.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:13 UTC on Tuesday, 25 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Flotilla (video game) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

SummaryOn this episode of The Bentonville Beacon, host James Bell sits down with Andrew Branch, Chief Operating Officer of XNA Northwest Arkansas National Airport. XNA began operations twenty-five years ago following an opening ceremony from then-President Bill Clinton and Air Force One. The airport's mission is to ensure that the safest and most modern aviation infrastructure is in place to satisfy the needs of the traveling public. The airport's economic impact exceeds $500 million dollars and provides thousands of jobs annually. With nearly one million boardings, this year will be the best year in the airport's history. Throughout the episode, James and Andrew discuss the start and growth of XNA and how the airport is connecting the region's community to the world all while making Bentonville and Northwest Arkansas an even more desirable place for business and residents.Thanks for tuning in!Show NotesTimestamps in this blog are for the audio-only version of the podcast; video timing differs.(0:57) Introduction to Andrew Branch(3:29) Andrew's Role as Chief Operating Officer(5:06) XNA Northwest Arkansas National Airport's Founding Story and Its Achievements(7:52) The Challenges of Growing an Airport(9:46) New XNA Construction and Terminal Modernization(17:27) Aspects of Northwest Arkansas That Draw People Here(24:42) Andrew's #BecauseBentonville Story(26:27) How Northwest Arkansas's Growth Is Influencing XNA(30:25) Andrew's Three Wishes for XNA(34:25) Utilizing Skills Learned and Developed in Previous Roles(37:37) Closing Thoughts‍LinksJames Bell Bentonville Economic Development Andrew Branch (andrew.branch@flyxna.com)XNA Northwest Arkansas National AirportQuotes“To your question about contributing to Bentonville and Northwest Arkansas's desirability, the figure I've heard is something around sixty percent of people in Benton county were not born in Arkansas. So obviously they come from somewhere and their families are other places. That, along with the businesses that do business with Walmart, Tyson and J. B. Hunt that are here, having that connectivity where you can conduct business or have family visit you, it's easier. I think that is huge for a region to be able to attract the kind of citizens we're trying to attract to work at these companies.” - Andrew Branch, (11:47)“I've lived in other places and not any place I've lived had so many of those things that you could do in one place and walk around. [Bentonville's] like a perfect small town, and then five minutes away you've got all these other amenities that you wouldn't see in a small town. And I think that's what is unique about Bentonville and Northwest Arkansas.” - Andrew Branch, (25:16)“I was at an event in Fayetteville today and they were talking about how if you live in Bentonville, you want Bentonville to win. But if Bentonville isn't going to get this new business, if Fayetteville gets it, that's great, because there's a feeling of it being a region, and that's unlike other places I've lived. It's not so competitive between the different cities. Obviously, there's some healthy competition, but if we can't get it, we want them to get it. We want the region to win regardless of whether it's our city or the next city.” - Andrew Branch, (23:21)

Boyd Multerer, CEO of Kry10 and Xbox's father of invention, joins Ryan Chacon on the IoT For All Podcast to discuss mission-critical devices and formal methods. They talk about what games consoles teach us about secure devices, the changing regulatory landscape of critical software, how to think about digital transformation, and what companies can do to ensure secure software and devices. Boyd Multerer has been building software and devices for over 30 years. He spent 18 years at Microsoft, 15 years of which was on the Xbox team. There he lead the development of Xbox Live, XNA, and the Xbox One operating system. Today, he is the CEO of Kry10 and has radically re-imagined what it means to build an operating system for mission-critical devices. Boyd has applied lessons in cyber security from the game console world and combined it with the latest in hardcore mathematics-based software techniques to build an operating system that takes a true security-first approach to the devices we depend on. Kry10 delivers a modern platform, tools, and management services to help businesses realize the full potential of IoT and high value connected devices. The Kry10 platform is built on the most secure foundation while enabling the highest level of resilience and manageability to meet mission critical needs. Kry10's platform approach can be encapsulated in one simple phrase: Trust but Isolate®. Kry10 leverages the formal verification of the seL4 microkernel to bring you an operating system that is secure, self-healing, and dynamic with minimal downtime, even during upgrades. This approach builds on the concept of zero trust architectures by limiting the code that can run in privileged mode and isolating as many non-core capabilities as possible.

Assembly language on OpenBSD, using bhyve for FreeBSD development, FreeBSD Gaming, FreeBSD for Thanksgiving, no space left on Dragonfly’s hammer2, and more. ##Headlines Assembly language on OpenBSD amd64+arm64 This is a short introduction to assembly language programming on OpenBSD/amd64+arm64. Because of security features in the kernel, I have had to rethink a series of tutorials covering Aarch64 assembly language on OpenBSD, and therefore this will serve as a placeholder-cum-reminder. OpenBSD, like many UNIX and unix-like operating systems, now uses the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) for its binary libraries and executables. Although the structure of this format is beyond the scope of this short introduction, it is necessary for me to explain part of one of the headers. Within the program header there are sections known as PT_NOTE that OpenBSD and other systems use to distinguish their ELF executables - OpenBSD looks for this section to check if it should attempt to execute the program or not. Our first program: in C! It’s often a good idea to prototype your assembly programs in a high level language such as C - it can then double up as both a set of notes and a working program that you can debug and compile into assembly language to compare with your own asm code. See the article for the rest on: Our first program: in x86-64 Asm (AT&T/GAS syntax) Our first program: in inline x86-64 assembly Our first program: in x86-64 asm (NASM syntax) Our first program: in ARMv8 AArch64 assembly ###Using bhyve for FreeBSD Development The Hypervisor The bhyve hypervisor requires a 64-bit x86 processor with hardware support for virtualization. This requirement allows for a simple, clean hypervisor implementation, but it does require a fairly recent processor. The current hypervisor requires an Intel processor, but there is an active development branch with support for AMD processors. The hypervisor itself contains both user and kernel components. The kernel driver is contained in the vmm.ko module and can be loaded either at boot from the boot loader or at runtime. It must be loaded before any guests can be created. When a guest is created, the kernel driver creates a device file in /dev/vmm which is used by the user programs to interact with the guest. The primary user component is the bhyve(8) program. It constructs the emulated device tree in the guest and provides the implementation for most of the emulated devices. It also calls the kernel driver to execute the guest. Note that the guest always executes inside the driver itself, so guest execution time in the host is counted as system time in the bhyve process. Currently, bhyve does not provide a system firmware interface to the guest (neither BIOS nor UEFI). Instead, a user program running on the host is used to perform boot time operations including loading the guest operating system kernel into the guest’s memory and setting the initial guest state so that the guest begins execution at the kernel’s entry point. For FreeBSD guests, the bhyveload(8) program can be used to load the kernel and prepare the guest for execution. Support for some other operating systems is available via the grub2-bhyve program which is available via the sysutils/grub2-bhyve port or as a prebuilt package. The bhyveload(8) program in FreeBSD 10.0 only supports 64-bit guests. Support for 32-bit guests will be included in FreeBSD 10.1. See the article for the very technical breakdown of the following: Network Setup Bridged Configuration Private Network with NAT Using dnsmasq with a Private Network Running Guests via vmrun.sh Configuring Guests Using a bhyve Guest as a Target Conclusion The bhyve hypervisor is a nice addition to a FreeBSD developer’s toolbox. Guests can be used both to develop new features and to test merges to stable branches. The hypervisor has a wide variety of uses beyond developing FreeBSD as well. ##News Roundup Games on FreeBSD What do all programmers like to do after work? Ok, what do most programers like to do after work? The answer is simple: play a good game! Recently at the Polish BSD User Group meetup mulander was telling us how you can play games on OpenBSD. Today let’s discuss how this looks in the FreeBSD world using the “server only” operating system. XNA based games One of the ways of playing natively is to play indie games which use XNA. XNA is a framework from Microsoft which uses .NET, for creating games. Fortunately, in the BSD world we have Mono, an open source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET Framework which you can use to run games. There is also FNA framework which is a reimplementation of XNA which allows you to run the games under Linux. Thomas Frohwein, from OpenBSD, prepared a script, fnaify. Fnaify translate all dependencies used by an FNA game to OpenBSD dependencies. I decided to port the script to FreeBSD. The script is using /bin/sh which in the case of OpenBSD is a Korn Shell. I didn’t test it with many games, but I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t work with all the games tested by the OpenBSD guys. For example, with: Cryptark Rouge Legacy Apotheon Escape Goat Bastion CrossCode Atom Zombie Smasher Open-Source games In FreeBSD and OpenBSD we also will find popular games which were open sourced. For example, I spend a lot of time playing in Quake 3 Arena on my FreeBSD machine. You can very simply install it using pkg: # pkg install ioquake3 Then move the files for the skins and maps to the .ioquake3 directory from your copy of Quake. In the past I also played UrbanTerror which is a fully open source shooter based on the Quake 3 Arena engine. It’s is also very easy to install it from ports: # pkg install iourbanterror In the ports tree in the games directory you can find over 1000 directories, many of them with fully implemented games. I didn’t test many games in this category, but you can find some interesting titles like: openxcom (Open-source re-implementation of the original X-Com) openjazz (Free re-implementation of the Jazz Jackrabbit™ game engine) corsixth (Open source re-implementation of Theme Hospital) quake2 openra (Red Alert) openrct2 (Open source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2) openmw (Open source engine reimplementation of the game Morrowind) All those titles are simply installed through the packages. In that case I don’t think FreeBSD has any difference from OpenBSD. Wine One of the big advantages of FreeBSD over OpenBSD is that FreeBSD supports wine. Wine allows you to run Windows applications under other operating systems (including mac). If you are a FreeBSD 11 user, you can simply fetch wine from packages: # pkg install i386-wine To run Windows games, you need to have a 32-bit wine because most of the games on Windows are built on 32-bits (maybe this has changed – I don’t play so much these days). In my case, because I run FreeBSD-CURRENT I needed to build wine from ports. It wasn’t nice, but it also wasn’t unpleasant. The whole step-by-step building process of a wine from ports can be found here. Summary As you can see there are many titles available for *BSDs. Thanks to the FNA and fnaify, OpenBSD and FreeBSD can work with indie games which use the XNA framework. There are many interesting games implemented using this framework. Open source is not only for big server machines, and there are many re-implementations of popular games like Theme Hospital or RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. The biggest market is still enabled through wine, although its creates a lot of problems to run the games. Also, if you are an OpenBSD user only this option is not available for you. Please also note that we didn’t discuss any other emulators besides wine. In OpenBSD and FreeBSD there are many of them for GameBoy, SNES, NeoGeo and other games consoles. ###FreeBSD For Thanksgiving I’ve been working on FreeBSD for Intel for almost 6 months now. In the world of programmers, I am considered an old dog, and these 6 months have been all about learning new tricks. Luckily, I’ve found myself in a remarkably inclusive and receptive community whose patience seems plentiful. As I get ready to take some time off for the holidays, and move into that retrospective time of year, I thought I’d beat the rush a bit and update on the progress Earlier this year, I decided to move from architect of the Linux graphics driver into a more nebulous role of FreeBSD enabling. I was excited, but also uncertain if I was making the right decision. Earlier this half, I decided some general work in power management was highly important and began working there. I attended BSDCam (handsome guy on the right), and led a session on Power Management. I was honored to be able to lead this kind of effort. Earlier this quarter, I put the first round of my patches up for review, implementing suspend-to-idle. I have some rougher patches to handle s0ix support when suspending-to-idle. I gave a talk MeetBSD about our team’s work. Earlier this month, I noticed that FreeBSD doesn’t have an implementation for Intel Speed Shift (HWPstates), and I started working on that. Earlier this week, I was promoted from a lowly mentee committer to a full src committer. Earlier today, I decided to relegate my Linux laptop to the role of my backup machine, and I am writing this from my Dell XPS13 running FreeBSD vandamme 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #45 881fee072ff(hwp)-dirty: Mon Nov 19 16:19:32 PST 2018 bwidawsk@vandamme:/usr/home/bwidawsk/usr/obj/usr/home/bwidawsk/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/DEVMACHINE amd64 6 months later, I feel a lot less uncertain about making the right decision. In fact, I think both opportunities would be great, and I’m thankful this Thanksgiving that this is my life and career. I have more plans and things I want to get done. I’m looking forward to being thankful again next year. ###hammer2: no space left on device on Dragonfly BSD The Issue hammer2 does not actually delete a file when you rm or unlink it. Since recovery of the file is possible (this is the design of hammer2), there will still be an entry taking up data. It’s similar to how git works. Even with 75% usage listed here, the filesystem could still have filled up. If you are using it as your root filesystem, then attempts to clean up data may fail. If the kernel panics over this, you will see something like this. The Fix If you have a recent enough version of the rescue ramdisk installed, on bootup you can press ‘r’ and access the rescue ramdisk. Your provider will have to offer some sort of remote interface for interacting with the operating system before it boots, like VNC or IPMI. You can then mount your filesystem using: [root@ ~]# mkdir /tmp/fs [root@ ~]# mount_hammer2 -o local /dev/vbd0s1a /tmp/fs If you receive an error that /sbin/hammer2 is not found, then your rescue ramdisk is not up to date enough. In that scenario, download the latest 5.2 iso from dragonflybsd.org and boot from the cd-rom on your virtual machine or physical device. Just login as root instead of installer. If the mount does succeed, then all you have to do is run the following twice: [root@ ~]# /sbin/hammer2 bulkfree /tmp/fs If you do not have enough memory on your machine, you may need to mount swap. Add your swap partition to the /etc/fstab and then do: [root@ ~]# swapon -a Once you have ran the bulkfree command twice, the usage reported by df -h will be correct. However, there is a chance on reboot that a core dump will be placed in /var/crash/ so be prepared to have plenty of space free in case that happens. You should also delete any files you can and run the bulkfree operation twice afterwards to clear up additional space. ##Beastie Bits BSD Pizza Night - Portland bsd@35c3: …the place for you…*NIX!

Ready to code for XBox One? Carl and Richard talk to Tom Spilman about his efforts to bring MonoGame to the XBox One. When the XBox One came out a few years ago, it did not support Microsoft's Indie game platform, XNA. MonoGame has stepped up to fill that role. And as an extra perk, it runs on everything - iOS, Android, Mac, Playstation and Nintendo devices. And of course, everything is coded in C#. Tom talks about how more and more, performance in games is not an issue, and the price of coding in C++ is just too high, without significant advantage. You want to make games? Make them in C# - with MonoGame!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
