-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter "Waiting.. Yarrr.." #012 - July 16th 2009 groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/Socoder Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Hello all I just bought Monkey Island Special Edition over Steam, (£6.99!) and figured I'd fit in a couple of hours playtime before bed. Then found out it was over 2 gig, and it's going to take at least half an hour to download it all! Might as well write the newsletter then, eh!! -=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ ; Whilst Playing... Is it just me, or does everyone else get that creepy voice in their head, that tries to figure out how a game's been put together, as opposed to actually just enjoying the game! .. And, did anyone else notice that this QOTD was copy and pasted from CodersWorkshop? socoder.net/?topic=1623 ; Exercise! How fit, or unfit are you? What kind of excersizes do you do, to keep yourself nice and trim.. .. or not! socoder.net/?topic=1622 ; Why Worms? One of last week's poll was about classic Team17 Amiga games. Worms seemed to win hands down. Hotshot wonders what's so special about it! socoder.net/?topic=1620 ; How Big! Phoenix has found a great site that can count the number of lines of code inside Open Source projects. But, is it right? Surely Google Chrome can't be that much bigger than Firefox! Can it!? socoder.net/?topic=1619 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver This week, Nobody made Jack.. So, let's take this oppotunity to head out into the big wide interwebs, and take a nosey at TheGameHippo. Both TheGameHippo and DBF now have permanent linkage at the bottom of Socoder. Ooh, how nice. Over at TheGameHippo, there's been two new games reviewed. ; BattleTanks II Destroy the enemy tanks, in a 3D view style! thegamehippo.com/game.php?Game=3513832 ; Click Copter A WASD+Mouse side-on arcadey shooter. thegamehippo.com/game.php?Game=602493 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links ; The Elder Scrolls 2 : Daggerfall (flying_cucco) If you're a lover of the Elder Scrolls games, you'll be happy to know that the second game is now well and truely free! Head on over, grab a copy, and play it for the next 10 years! socoder.net/?link=19458 ; Torrents at the Pictures (Spare) Cinemas are now starting to use Torrents, so that they can get hold of more Independent movies a lot quicker. Should mean there's a wider variety of films to see during those quiet school days! socoder.net/?link=19490 ; Debugging Basics (Phoenix) Phoenix has been trying to teach how to use a debugger, but in case you need a couple of pointers, or even if you want to find a couple of neat tips, head over to this link. socoder.net/?link=19526 There's been MORE than those links, over at Socoder this week! It's almost as if that annoying Greenie image is actually doing it's job! If you want to see more links, they're on the left hand sidebar. -=-=-=-=-=-=- For n=0 to 100% ; Polls!!! It's the feature in which we blindly copy the results of this week's polls, in a vein attempt to make it look like the newsletter's getting a bit bigger!! First off, Who's Winning... 110 - zebeste 097 - blanko1324 095 - shroom_monk 090 - spinal 085 - Spare 082 - mole 082 - steve_ancell -=-=- Which is Better? 047% : BlitzCoder 033% : GameDev 004% : CodersWorkshop 004% : SyntaxBomb 004% : BlitzBasic.com 004% : TIGSource Which is Better? 100% : Google 000% : Bing! 000% : Yahoo! 000% : Ask (Jeeves) 000% : Ask (Not Jeeves) Which is Better? 052% : Muppets 028% : Sesame Street 019% : Fraggle Rock Which is Better? 077% : Worms 011% : Alien Breed 005% : KingPin 005% : Arcade Pool 000% : Superfrog 000% : Body Blows 000% : Project-X Which is Better? 070% : Firefox 020% : Chrome 004% : I.E. 004% : Opera 000% : Safari Which is Better? 035% : New Movie 029% : The Next Generation 017% : Star Trek 011% : Voyager 005% : Deep Space 9 000% : Enterprise Which is Better? 044% : Star Wars 027% : Stargate 022% : Star Trek 005% : Starship Troopers -=-=-=-=-=-=- Input Doesn't look like anyone's bothering to send me anything in, during the week!
