#007 - Some rubbish James Bond reference |
|
-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter "Some rubbish James Bond reference" #007 - June 12th 2009 groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/Socoder Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=- A surprise visit from Krylar, A desperate attempt to release EA's Sourcecode, and a request that we all switch to good old IBM style keyboards. Those are the kinds of things you won't find in this week's newsletter! But don't worry, there's plenty more stuff to see. -=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ ; FancyPants graphics BlitzBasic's nice, but it can be a little pants when it comes to doing sprites. A lack of transparency being one of it's many issues. Phoenix has been working away at a brand new set of graphic functions using DirectX9. Head over to the topic, and see how well it runs on your system. socoder.net/?topic=1577 ; Daily Digest In a nutshell, tell us what's going on in your life. Having a good day? Having a rubbish day!? It's like twitter, only inside a topic! socoder.net/?topic=1578 ; Not Real...! Afr0 asks why certain graphics look unrealistic, and why, after so many years, we still can't manage to make a 3D face with teeth that aren't really really scary looking! socoder.net/?topic=1583 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver ; Fluffy (Omadan) A cute little platforming, with good old rules. Complete the level, or die trying! Yeay! socoder.net/?topic=1576 ; Zieks (Evil Roy Ferguson) A shoot-em-up that looks amazingly like it's running on a ZX (zed) Spectrum, even down to a fantastic recreation of Colour Clashing! Yeay! socoder.net/?showcase=19019 Evil Roy has also let us in on his secret of Colour Clashing with this nice little Code Snippet. socoder.net/?snippet=19029 ; 21 or Bust (Evil Roy Ferguson) And just for the hell of it, here's a classic from Evil Roy. It's Blackjack! socoder.net/?showcase=16336 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links ; Cave Story (Phoenix) You've probably already played Cave Story. There's nothing wrong with playing it again! socoder.net/?link=19033 ; FPS Creator (jprofitt) At the moment, FPS Creator is super cheap. If you're not interested in a ready made FPS creator, you might still like all the 3D models that come packaged with it. Handy! socoder.net/?topic=1579 ; Rand(0,37171650) Unfortunately, that's about all the links that got posted to Socoder this week! Eeek! Quiet week! So, to help pad out this section a bit, here's a link to a picture of a watering can. tinyurl.com/mjq3m6 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Input If you'd like to make a suggestion for the newsletter, send it to Jayenkai@Gmail.com Literally anything goes, at this point! -=-=-=-=-=-=- Load Next List I'd thought of a couple of extra sections this week. Poke was intended as a Facebook esque "Poke" at older members. I poke them, they respond, I shove the response into the newsletter. I started with CyberSeth. He hasn't responded. Then I figured I'd try SvrMan since I haven't heard from him in ages. No response there either. Then, just as I was contemplating emailing Krylar, he inexplicably popped up on the forum! So.. yeah, that kinda buggered up that whole idea! Aw well.. Still, Nice to hear from Krylar! -=-=-=-=-=-=- |
