Bacon sizzling in a pan In the Workshop Death to the videogame world. socoder.net/?topic=1916 In the Shoutbox.. Munky, Lines and Errors... YES!! In the Mudchat Amos!!!!

Join in, it's occasionally fun! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Trim How to quickly trim your sprites to a common size, so you can keep those insanely large filesizes down a bit! socoder.net/?topic=1915 ; Why no smashing? Longarm's having a strange issue with his balls. They're no longer smashing into people. Help him sort it out. socoder.net/?topic=1917 ; Unlimited Detail Will a points setup be better than a polygon setup? How do you even design that!?! Surely you'd still end up "raytracing" most of it, to figure out which point shows up on each pixel...? socoder.net/?topic=1918 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A whole bunch of new games, every single week!! >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Socoder Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Ace Paceman in a Mario Costume (Jayenkai) Another game given a Mario makeover for MAR10.

Then it stopped. socoder.net/?campfire=22357 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Go Norway (Machete) Does anyone find Michael Moore interesting? *shrugs* socoder.net/?link=22361 ; Pivot (Jayenkai) Microsoft created a new webbrowser and, at first, it all seemed very interesting. It scans a site, grabs all it's data, and lets you flick through it like some sort of catalogue. .. Then I realised how much of a con it was. It doesn't "take data from the net". Instead, you have to write a whole second version of your website specifically for it. .. Oh yeah, it's Microsoft! Duh! socoder.net/?link=22376 ; Too Awesome to Use (HoboBen) The last weapon in the list, probably based on the BFG, because nobody's imaginative anymore, and it'll sit in your inventory unused for the entire game. Why? Because you want to "Save" it!! And then you forget, and you never use it.. socoder.net/?link=22377 ; Tron Legacy (Jayenkai) I had high hopes for this. Now I don't. Teen movie <> Tron audience Teens wouldn't even get the <> reference.. socoder.net/?link=22381 ; OK, Go (Phoenix) The guys that always get ripped off in adverts have made a new video. This time, they decided to rip off other folk, instead, and did a Rube Goldberg thing in their video. Bloody 'ell, it's a biggy!! socoder.net/?link=22399 ; Jamendo Pro (HoboBen) Why get all your music for free, when you can buy someone else's? It's the Socoder of music. Or, it will be until someone buys the site and turns it into a bag of shite, like Peoplesound.com and MP3.com socoder.net/?link=22383 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sytnax Erorr -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; FFS socoder.net/?blogs=22362 ; A* Pathfinding for Cobra (HoboBen) Always handy, and usually good for ghosts. Hobo's recreated A* for Cobra! socoder.net/?snippet=22373 ; Coffee Syrup (Jayenkai) Get some syrup for your coffee, to give it a little more oomph. socoder.net/?blogs=22375 ; Thinking about the Future. (Jayenkai) I'm 30, now, and I'm starting to consider my future. Time to take a count of your achievements, and wonder what it all means. And, more importantly than that.. ... I wonder what this year's JNKPlat should be like? socoder.net/?blogs=22390 ; Look at my house!!! Woooo!! (Jayenkai) Google Streetview added every damn place in the whole country (UK) the other night.

Pretty stars!! socoder.net/?showcase=22378 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Compos! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; DBF's "Liquid" Compo Less than a month until the DBF compo ends. Is anyone entering? bit.ly/DBF_4642 ; PlaySushi's "Adventure" Compo This compo has no relevance to me, because it's for US folk only. FFS Afr0 sent me a Machete.. The least you can do is send a prize. Lazy compo runners.. www.playsushi.com/Contest.ps -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rant -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Last week I asked folk to submit their own rants. I figured that if this was a weekly feature, folk would jump at the chance to rant and rave about all kinds of different things. This is your slot now, it's not mine. I'm not going to become an annoying whinging ranting git, who constantly complains about things every single week. Instead, you can do it! And you can even ask to be anonymous, too, if you don't want to be identified as the ranter. So, let's begin, shall we? --- Who sent in their rant, this week? Nobody -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Be The Rant -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Want to vent off to the two or three people who bother to read the newsletters each week? PM or Email me your rants, and I'll start popping them into future newsletters! Let them feel your rage!! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Random Youtubeyness -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfchvCyHmsc www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM2SdnmB3mI www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug5U9uBi8uA -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- End of -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------- Load, Next List |
