-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Later than B3ta!" #038 - 15th January 2010 https://groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Hello all As I write this, the B3ta Friday Newsletter has plopped down into my email box. I'm usually quicker than that. .. To answer Afr0's point from earlier. Because I don't trust eBay. I don't trust that the Seller has legally obtained it, and I certainly don't trust that the Seller hasn't made a copy for himself before selling it on, thereby screwing me out of having an actual legal copy. I'm also pretty sure it's in the T&Cs that you're not supposed to sell it on, as well. eBay for random collectable mugs, shirts and other things. Sure, why not. eBay for expensive software? No thanks. In the Workshop ..... I Purposely made this week's a two week workshop. I certainly didn't forget about it! In the Shoutbox.. How to change your Avatar and Avabar so it's not a weird little blue thing. Nobody likes weird blue dull generic avabars. In the Mudchat Getting Gas SQL worries Grey 'n' Green lovin' BB vs BMax Enya lovin' DNA's thread Cross Platform Risks Time Travel OOC stuff Galaxies And Afr0 still banging on and on about Avatar. Join in, it's occasionally fun! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Array or List What's better for building a nice big tile engine? Lists of objects with x,y co-ordinates, or a great big array with objects inside the x,y co-ordinates? It's the universal dilemma that keeps folk talking. socoder.net/?topic=1858 The answer is Array. It's quicker. ; From your game, to your website Exactly how do you post and return content from websites? Flying_Cucco gives us a wonderful multi-post tutorial, explaining all about how to do things. Then Afr0 butts in, and complains that the question should have just been Googled. Hey, I've an idea, why not just Google everything. Sod the fact that I built an entire damn web forum for asking questions. Lets just search for stuff and never discuss anything, ever. *sigh* I might delete the bottom half of that topic, and lock it. It is quite a useful topic up to that point. socoder.net/?topic=1856 ; Borderlands DD wants to organise an online game of Borderlands. Head inside if you have a copy of the game. socoder.net/?topic=1854 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A whole bunch of new games, every single week!! >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Socoder Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Spaceship Simulator (Blanko) Blanko's midway through making a nice Star Trek style ship simulation system. Why not check out his in-progress system, where you can fly the ship around the map, look out the window, and dodge a few meteors. woot! socoder.net/?showcase=21806 ; Circles (JL235) DD shows off his Javabased engine, by throwing a great big bunch of circles around on the screen at once. Hold the mouse button to fling circles around. socoder.net/?showcase=21763 >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Moshboy's "Underrated" Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SlumLord27/Moshboy continues to find those odd games that never get a chance. Give 'em a chance! ; #86 - Betasuppe Great looking text/graphical adventure. 2 minutes to pull the switch!! Silly player! www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6g60yS3TjY ; #87 - Funk Jumpa Neat little jumpy shooter, set in space, around a giant Afr0! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoArga2OtLE >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Pixel Prospector's Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Each week I take games from Authentic Kaizen's site, make new bit.ly url's for them, and post them here. Nobody clicked any of last week's. Will anyone bother this week? https://www.pixelprospector.com/indev/ Three updated games, this week.. ; Verticastle Gigantic chunky pixels, and loads of blood! bit.ly/PPGames_Verticastle ; VVVVVV - Full version Lovely super retro platforming. bit.ly/PPGames_VVVVVV_Full ; Nones Hi-res platform puzzler bit.ly/PPGames_Nones ; Captain Plokey A classic PC Shareware styled retro Platform Shooter. Think Commander Keen, or Duke Nukem! bit.ly/PPGames_Plokey -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; ClanLib SDK (Agent) A nice SDK to help draw, and play sounds. Seems quite a powerful little lib. Works for Win, Linux and MacOS, too! socoder.net/?link=21733 ; TehSkeen Gone (Jayenkai) Another example of a site imploding due to some silly server-side issues. Might've been hacked, I have no idea, it doesn't say.

It's on!!!! socoder.net/?link=21797 ; Learn Na'vi (Afr0) People want more Avatar. If this were a TV series instead of just a single movie, folk would get more, a little bit quicker. socoder.net/?link=21798 ; Babelgum (Jayenkai) TV Shows online. They appear to have quite a large collection of Corner Gas episodes, ready for streaming. That's kinda neat! Everyone needs more Corner Gas. socoder.net/?link=21805 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Syntax Error -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; AGameAWeek 2010 (Jayenkai) I'm currently building a nice neat framework for all my future games. Should be done shortly. Hopefully! socoder.net/?blogs=21803 ; Boredom := Tabstrips (Cower) Noel made a nice lovely little background effect using some lines!! ..
