-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter "Three's Company, Five's Closed" #003 - May 15th 2009 groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/Socoder Tell all your friends! All of them!!! -=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Another week, another newsletter. We've officially got this thing running, now. All it needs is a few dozen links, each week, and we can keep it going. To be honest, I'll probably scrap this bit, next week, 'cos it took me ages to thing of anything to go here! -=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ ; Crazy Magic There used to be a day when folk were happy with cards appearing from a deck of cards! People today need more complex magic. Afr0's picked a great magician for everyone to see. socoder.net/?topic=1545 ; Pink!! If you're working in Blitz2D, you'll eventually come across the lack of transparency which usually leads to a slightly pinkish glow around your images. Here's some hints and tips to try and help you get around it, although it'll probably need some work. socoder.net/?topic=1541 ; After school An inexplicably large number of forum members are all leaving school in the near future. We ask them what their plans are for the future, and wonder how the rest of us got so old. socoder.net/?topic=1546 ; Socoder.com? About a month ago, we finally got hold of the .com, but is it there for show, or are people actually using the new url? And why are people so upset by the use of the Grey+Green theme for the .com? socoder.net/?topic=1543 ; wednesday Workshop 4 people managed to enter WW200. 4 lovely little games, all wrapped up into tiny pieces of code! socoder.net/?a=12&w=200 This week, we ask folk to settle down with a 3 hour schedule, and code the best game that they can. socoder.net/?topic=1544 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver ; Splat 2000 (Jayenkai) I decided to remake my WW entry as a larger game, this week, so here it is, with added music, sounds, and even a highscore table. socoder.net/?showcase=18671 Here's some we made earlier. This week's theme.. Snake!! ; Space Snake (JL235) This is another Wednesday Workshop entry that had since been rebuilt. A neat little game, which sees you playing snake in a 360 degree environment. Avoid the earth!! socoder.net/?showcase=5792 ; SnakeSlider (BdR) A simple puzzle game with snakes attached. Grab either end of the snakes, and pull, to drag the snake in that direction. Get the Green snake out of the exit to beat each level. socoder.net/?showcase=9198 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links ; More Company Closure (Jayenkai) Factor 5 are gone, too. Well, as it turns out, only half of the company's actually closed, with the german half still going about it's business. Either way, it's another great dev-team going down the pan. This economy sucks! socoder.net/?link=18708 ; Eurovision 2009 (Spare) If you're interested in that kind of thing, you can watch Eurovision live, or even relive it afterwards straight from their own website. Oh yeah!!! socoder.net/?link=18705 ; Saunich der Hejhaug (Jayenkai) Sonic does his best to stop the evil in his world. socoder.net/?link=18665 ; 80s Box Art (Jayenkai) From the days when skateboarding ninjas wasn't considered to be even slightly odd.. socoder.net/?link=18640 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Data ; MidletPascal Tutorials (Jayenkai) Having gotten to grips with MidletPascal, I've continued to write a bunch of tutorials. So far, they're all based on my LGCookie phone, but you can easily tweak them to suit whichever phone you current own. Thanks again, to Pio, for having pointed me in it's direction. It's a great language, so long as you can deal with it crashing every 20 mins!
