-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Depressing..." #032 - 04th December 2009 https://groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Hello all Depressing section ctrl-X'd.. No Youtube's this week, not in the mood. This week.. Todo lists that look horrible and ugly even if they are really damn useful. socoder.net/?topic=1804 Workshop #230 is all about snow. Give some christmas cheer by making the roads inaccessible, and making it too cold to go out. socoder.net/?topic=1806 And the end of an era.. Afr0's C++ Classes got right up to the end of the book. Has everyone learned something? socoder.net/index.php?topic=1804 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Art or Science? When you program, is it considered Art, or Science? Or maybe just a big bunch of Maths!? socoder.net/?topic=1805 ; Really Really Random Learn how to make proper random numbers that don't all clump next to each other. This post goes to the people at Lottery, who seem to have generated a random number picker that can quite happily pluck out 3 or 4 numbers right next to each other, every single time I print a new ticket out for someone. Those new machines are rubbish.. socoder.net/?topic=1801 ; Dither those pictures! Spinal's been working on his DS Image converter again, and has managed to make things looks really great, albeit with a little color reduction. Well done, Spinal! socoder.net/?topic=1636 ; c:/my games/by me/these ones/this one/not that one/ Stealth wants to know how ugly your directory structure is. Is your hard drive as messed up as your desk, or is it all neat and tidy? And, how often DO people use "My Documents"? socoder.net/?topic=1802 ; Super Fun Happytime What exactly makes a game more fun? ... More Cowbell!!!! socoder.net/?topic=1800 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Utilize This! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Easy Sprite Resizer (Realtime) Realtime created a useful program, this week, which takes all your sprites and neatly resizes them in as nice a way as possible, trying not to lose any detail, or make things horribly aliased. Handy! socoder.net/?showcase=21264 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Now with added bonus content! >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Socoder Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; NeonPlat (Jayenkai) Take Platdude, add Bubble Bobble, get one fantastic arcade game.. socoder.net/?showcase=21237 >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Moshboy's "Underrated" Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SlumLord27/Moshboy renamed his collection, this week!

Run through the dungeon, and avoid all the traps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyKJSmuWFIM >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Pixel Prospector's Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Authentic Kaizen (Pixel Prospector) keeps up his great collection of games, whilst also starting to interject his own ideas.

Guard the patch from the invading halloween themed baddies. bit.ly/PPGames_PumpkinPatch ; Knightly in the Dark Forest A classic 90's style shooter with a floating character! Hurray for obscure 90s shooters! bit.ly/PPGames_Knightly ; Desaturation A japanese styled shooter, with more bullets onscreen than you could hope for in a Japanese shoot-em-up! bit.ly/PPGames_Desaturation ; NeonPlat An idea suggested by Kaizen, and built by Jayenkai. bit.ly/PPGames_NeonPlat ; Mega Man II Multiplayer A great remake of the classic, with Multiplayer strapped on for good measure. bit.ly/PPGames_MMIIMultii ; Fight! Mechanical Shooting Device A Gameboy styled Platform Shooter built in Flash. bit.ly/PPGames_FIIIIGHT ; Fight!! Bonus Link... Fight was created using FlashPunk, which apparently is a nice free 2D graphic sprite library thing for flash.. hmmmmm.. flashpunk.net/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Zeno Clash (HoboBen) A great game with a fantastic art style. Currently on offer, through Steam, for only £3.82. But hurry, it's ending today! socoder.net/?link=21249 ; See Fanny in Wikipedia! (HoboBen) *shrugs* socoder.net/?link=21211 ; Twilight Sucks!! (Spinal) No explaination needed! socoder.net/?link=21191 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Syntax Error -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Lua-Scriptable Types (Cower) Noel's trying to baffle us, again, with his Lua stuff, and manages to create a method for implimenting some sort of object things with binding or something like that. Haven't a clue! socoder.net/?snippet=21212 ; Input Class/Lua Script (Cower) More baffling stuff, but less baffling, this time to do with inputs and things like that. socoder.net/?snippet=21266 ; Coverflow DS (Spinal) In his quest to perfect menus for the DS, Spinal's remaking the Coverflow style menu, and building a lovely App to go with it, that'll hopefully create the effect nicely for all your DS games. socoder.net/?blogs=21200 ; Getting further with Far (Afr0) Afr0's managed to crack a little more of The Sims file format, and can now look at an envelope. Woot! socoder.net/?blogs=21255 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Competition of the Week -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Gamma 4 - One Button Compo!! Everyone loves making one button games!
