-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Run, Dash, Dash" #014 - July 31st 2009 groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Hello all We've switched to using Google Groups, since Yahoo's being annoying again. Ho-hum If you're signed up to the Yahoo newsletter, don't worry, I'll continue to post to both of the groups. If you're new, the various-on-site links, and boxes should get you sent over to the Google group, nice and easily. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Game Designs! Ever had a game idea that you knew wasn't something you could achieve yourself? JL235's topic asks just that. Post your super ideas and see what is, and isn't doable. socoder.net/?topic=1638 ; Avatars, already! Avatars are simple things to create, and yet for reasons unknown, some folk just haven't ever made them. 64x64 pixel images that identify yourself are not hard to create!! Since the new Memberlist uses only avabars for it's display, the lack of avatars has become even more apparent. Phoenix asks... Where are they all!? socoder.net/?topic=1639 ; C++ Graphics Library Ever used C++? If so, Shroom_monk wants to know what graphics libraries you used. Here's a nice chance to complain about how difficult it's getting to just write games, anymore! socoder.net/?topic=1640 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This week, JL235 sends us a couple of his brand new Java games, straight from his new site, StudioFortress.com Let's have a nosey! ; Sokoban Supreme With a neat background, and a professional looking level changing style, this is Sokoban, but not as you've probably ever seen it before. Get the plants in the holes!!! socoder.net/?showcase=19742 ; Super Sweeper And, to continue the slightly quirky way of doing things, here's minesweeper but without any squares. Is it harder, or is it easier? I'm not sure, but it definitely does make it a different Minesweeper. Which, quite frankly, we all need! socoder.net/?showcase=19741 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Open Game Art (Phoenix) Game writers and artists get together to build a massive archive of game art, ready for use in your own projects. If you're going to take something, at least do the decent thing, and give a little back! socoder.net/?link=19634 ; Tron Legacy (Cower) Disney's sequel to the 80's megahit. Will it be any good? We'll just have to wait and see! socoder.net/?link=19637 ; Complaining about nothing (Jayenkai) Rubbish games in stores, and fantastic games online. Which is better? I know which I tend to pick. But which do you spend more money on? .. And how wrong is that method of thinking? socoder.net/?link=19678 ; Microsoft loves Yahoo (Scherererer) You've probably heard this, but what's the problem with having an extra link, eh!?  Microsoft and Yahoo are joining forces in yet another attempt to beat Google. Time will tell! socoder.net/?link=19716 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Syntax Error -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Summer Job What are you doing this summer? Tikihead's off to work at some Flash games! socoder.net/?blogs=19735 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- For n=1 to 7 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Top 7 pollers 125 - jprofitt 090 - Jayenkai 090 - magicman 090 - Scherererer 090 - Tikihead 090 - Cower 090 - cthug Blinkin' eck, it's neck and neck!! ; This week's Poll Results -Which is Worse? --090% : Lack of Game Ideas --000% : Lack of Poll Ideas --009% : Lack of WW Ideas -Which is Better? --009% : Elephant --004% : Giraffe --004% : Hippo --009% : Rhino --028% : Monkey --028% : Penguin --014% : Lion -Which is Better? --036% : Apple --015% : Samsung --010% : Nokia --010% : Motorola --000% : Sony Ericsson --026% : Other (Shoutbox!) -Which is Better? --020% : Dragon's Den --013% : My Country's Got Talent --000% : My Country's Idol --000% : Big Brother --066% : I Hate Reality TV -Which is Better? --028% : Sonic Adventure --009% : Soul Calibur --004% : Shenmue --038% : Crazy Taxi --009% : Chu Chu Rocket --009% : Virtua Tennis -Which is Better? --005% : PowerBasic --068% : FreeBasic --026% : DarkBasic --000% : RealBasic -Which is Most Important? --000% : Titlescreen --080% : Gameplay --008% : Graphics --004% : Sound --000% : Music --008% : Storyline -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Input -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Still no stuff being sent for the newsletter, but that won't stop me from taking random things and tweaking them just enough that it looks like folk are actually suggesting them for the purpose of the newsletter! I'll leave you with two new-ish sections. Remember.. Your stuff goes here! Send stuff in, or I'm just going to have to start making things up again! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Competition of the Week -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Intel Smoke! Scherererer writes to inform us of a compo from Intel. Take their Smoke basecode, and turn it into something more interesting. You could win a $100 giftcard.. .... Oooooh! Compo doesn't close until Dec 31st, so if you're planning to buy a game sometime next year, you might like to enter! tinyurl.com/ffs-intel-short-urls -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Random Youtube Videos -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In other Input related news, Eikon favourited both of these videos on Youtube, this week. Gotta love "friendship" things on random sites! It's like stalking!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRciznVO_nk www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQizYzw27FY ------------------- Load, Next List |
