Hello World

          Things are getting a bit samey in the newsletter.
          I feel like I want to shake things up a bit, but am
          unsure as to what exactly I should be shaking.

          I like the freeware section, but bit.ly's records
          are showing it's a little hit and miss, with only 3
          clicks from the past 2 week's newsletters.
          (Although, plenty of folk clicked the Slave Maker
          thing, from the week before!!)

          I guess everyone here frequents enough forums and
          game sites that they've already seen half of these
          by the time the newsletter turns up.
          hmm..

          Need new stuffs, then...

          If you've any thoughts, let me know.

Network Chaos

          When everything you own has a different operating
          system (or even worse, when they have the SAME
          operating system) you can have one heck of a time
          trying to get everything to network nicely.

Organising lots and lots and lots...

          If I like this, and I also like that, but there's
          thousands of things, how on earth do you search for
          "People who liked this also like...."?

Muro

          The folks over at DeviantART have put together a
          HTML5 based art doodley thing.
          It's not fantastic, but it could grow into
          something great.

The Matrix

          This week, DD and Phoenix decided to head back into
          the Matrix, and head off down to the pub.
          You can relive their adventure, right here!

The Robot

          Cower posted his first Android game a couple of
          weeks ago, and this is a nice recap of how things
          have gone, since.

The Hunt

          DD, for reasons unknown, decided to create a batch
          of multicoloured search boxes.
          They're here if you want a play with them!

The Map

          Waroffice has been working to get a scrolling
          tilemap up and running.
          Tilemaps need not be a pain. ... .. But they
          usually are.

PHP robots.txt parser

          HoboBen's created a nice PHP program that grabs a
          robots file from a server, and figures out if it
          should be accessing said server.

          A nice fast paced simple little platformer. Head
          into a room, grab all the gems, and try not to die.

Dan! Da! Dan!

          This is a little like Breakout would be, if it were

          Destroy the lines of blocks, collect the various
          powerups, and keep on going..

Terav

          Horizontally scrolling shooter, but with a lovely

          great!

Grid Shock

          Slow paced arena shooter, which doesn't overload

          same time.

     @Jayenkai
          What's the stupidest coding bug you ever struggled
          to fix, only to realise it was something blindingly
          obvious?

     @terrypaton1
          Subtracting from a uint and not understanding why
          it never went into negatives (n00b)

     @JasonKelk
          I once spent half an hour trying to fix some
          graphical distortion that was actually monitor
          burn-in, does that count?
