-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Wakka Wakka Wakka Woop-Woop" #022 - 25th September 2009 groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Hello all Having finished all my Pacman game's graphics, I looked at the clock and realised it was Friday.. Newsletter time! I'd forgotton all about it. D'oh! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Encrypt, Decrypt, Hide... When decrypting your secret game assets, where can you put them so that players won't steal them? Is there really a safe way to keep people from stealing parts of your game? socoder.net/?topic=1714 ; Price Gouging Redmoth found a nice couple of 2Gb MiniSD cards at Amazon. Just a shame that they're over =A3100 a go. socoder.net/?topic=1713 ; Ready.. Study.... Go! Afr0's book club is taking hold. Everyone's getting their books out, and chapter one is being read. How much have you read? socoder.net/?topic=1709 ; Tick Tock If you're making an online game with timers, what's the best way to keep those clocks synchronised? socoder.net/?topic=1708 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Write -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- It's like WW on speed! ; Main Menu Build a small but swooshy main menu effect. socoder.net/?topic=1710 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Dungeon Maker (Realtime) Realtime has created a nice dungeon making system that creates paths and doors and that kind of thing. Nobody's quite sure if he's making a game from it, but we've all got our fingers crossed. socoder.net/?showcase=20401 ; Webding Fighter (Jayenkai) And a rubbish shooter from me.. socoder.net/?showcase=20415 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; 500 mile limit (HoboBen) What would happen if all your emails stopped when they reached 500 miles? And how would tech support react when you tried to tell them that was happening? socoder.net/?link=20410 ; Don't copy that bloggy! (Jayenkai) Lily Allen proves that piracy doesn't pay. socoder.net/?link=20411 ; Pro Music creator (Mog) Eternal Infamy wants your money! Pay him some cash, and he'll make some nice music and sound for your games. Seems like a good deal to me. socoder.net/?link=20427 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Syntax Error -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Binary Stream (Afr0) Read a chunk of memory, and then access it neatly. In Blitz you'd use PeekInt, PeekByte, etc, but Afr0 couldn't find a short-sweet version in C++, so he made his own. socoder.net/?snippet=20397 ; Parse/Evaluate Symbolic Logic (Cower) Noel's decided to create something in Ruby that somehow manages to makes your code look more/less mangled, depending on how easy you find it trying to read things like that! socoder.net/?snippet=20405 ; Monitor Woes (JL235) Joe bought a new monitor. The new monitor came without any cables. Joe went to PC World. You can pretty much guess the outcome! socoder.net/?blogs=20407 ; Change the Black Window (Mog) Mog figured out how to change that little black window that always pops up in your Blitz games. If it annoys you, read ahead. socoder.net/?snippet=20426 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- For n=1 to 7 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Top 7 Pollers (last week's position) (^ 5) 100 Tikihead (v 1) 080 Phoenix (^ x) 077 Spare (> 4) 075 9572AD (^ x) 070 oscar (^ x) 070 steve_ancell (^ 8) 070 Nolan ; Last Week's Poll Results -- Which do you use most? ---- Total votes : 21 ------ 42% : Click the X ------ 19% : Double click the window's icon ------ 19% : Rightclick taskbar, close ------ 19% : Alt F4 -- Which is Better? ---- Total votes : 18 ------ 55% : CD ------ 27% : Cartridge ------ 11% : Floppy Disk ------ 5% : Punched Card -- Which is Better? ---- Total votes : 19 ------ 57% : Outrun ------ 26% : Afterburner ------ 10% : Space Harrier ------ 5% : Hang On -- Shift and 2.... ---- Total votes : 20 ------ 70% : Left shift ------ 30% : Right shift -- Which is Better? ---- Total votes : 20 ------ 40% : Up ------ 35% : Right ------ 20% : Left ------ 5% : Down -- Which is better? ---- Total votes : 17 ------ 35% : Triangle ------ 29% : Square ------ 17% : Circle ------ 17% : Cross -- How worn out are the letters on your keyboard? ---- Total votes : 20 ------ 85% : Not at all ------ 5% : Slightly ------ 5% : A lot of letters ------ 5% : 1337 ------ 0% : A few letters -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Random Youtube Videos -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqZo3pC6h68 www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbjeLbw38vk www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEI6ON9aG4 ------------------- Load, Next List |
