Incase you're interested, there's still a leaderboard, and Shroom_Monk's still up at the top, alongside Rockford..
This week, I've been nosying at some of the older newsletters.
It's been fun!
It used to be busier, and it was definitely more Socoder centric, but I think we've got a nice mix, nowadays.
Feel free to complain if you think otherwise, and/or are sick of the constant CPC links..
(I've forgotten so many things, lately!)
Seb and Joe have been rushing around, everywhere, this week!
As such, I'm not sure if either will be updating the PMC blog before I post this week's newsletter, but keep an eye on it!! www.playmycode.com/blog yfrog.com/morj9cj

; Caves
Krakatomato creates a red/black cave layout thing.
It's not very animated, but could definitely serve as a generator for some kind of mini RPG or something.
Maybe useful if you can come up with a reason to be trawling around in a cave..
.. Who am I kidding? There's always a reason to be trawling around in a cave! bit.ly/xGI4CI
; Coming Soon
Krakatomato's also been working on a nice shooty game, too.
No game up, yet, but he's been posting sneak peeks to his Twitter account. dl.dropbox.com/u/32204670/swarm7.png
Ever since Firefox changed it's Auto thing, Socoder's been squishy.
I was too lazy to change it.
Last week, Chrome made the switch, too.
Makes no feckin' sense to me, but whatever..
So I had to get off my arse and do a quirky fix, but I made sure I had a good whinge whilst I did it! socoder.net/?topic=2766
; It's really replayable!!
Fact : I have infinitely more fun playing the original Super Mario Bros World 1-1, than I do replaying some shitty modern level just to earn X stupid object that's been placed in some stupid random hidden place.
Fact 2 : Super Mario 3D Land is sat on top of my Mac Mini, and hasn't been inserted into the 3DS for about a month.
Fact 3 : I have played Super Mario Land (Gameboy) a fair number of times, though.. socoder.net/?topic=2771
; BBC Microcomputer
This topic started off with BBC Basic, and the new version that's coming soon..
Then that got taken down, so it all spun off into a topic about loading screens! socoder.net/?topic=2772
