-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Creepy!" #037 - 08th January 2010 https://groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Hello all Remaking things is always fun, especially when it's the type of stuff you've not been doing for a long while. Instead of assuming my generic game framework will keep on working for the next 12 months, I'm currently in the middle of completely reworking the whole thing. I just have to come up with some sort of generic Titlescreen that will do for the next 52 games. .. Yikes!! In the Workshop Workshop #234 is asking for games built from ascii characters. In the Shoutbox.. Something about too much snow, and how it keeps on going, even though we've already built our snowmen, and are sick to death of the stuff. In the Mudchat Freezing to Death Death by Supernova Fixing Fonts Stealing characters Being racist to New-Zealanders Trying to post url's with square brackets And Afr0 banging on and on about Avatar. Join in, it's occasionally fun! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Too cold to walk A QOTD posted in an unorganised fashion with a title that's too long to fit in the box properly and isn't catchy at all, followed by an actual question that isn't even related to the topic of walking in the cold, which then decended into a topic about Afr0 having a sore back. QOTD's are fickle things! Choose your QOTD's carefully! socoder.net/?topic=1851 ; What do you drink whilst coding? Whereas this isn't a QOTD, but very easily could've been one. What do you drink whilst coding? socoder.net/?topic=1850 ; Libraries for BlitzMax Seems like DD's attempting BlitzMax again, so he's interested to know what kind of libraries are available. What do you use, what do you avoid, and why? socoder.net/?topic=1849 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A whole bunch of new games, every single week!! >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Socoder Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This week I've finished my 12 Games of Christmas. During the past 2 weeks I've release 12 whole new games. Some are a bit rubbish, like the odd Nine Drummers Drumming game, but others are quite fun, especially the top three. Twelve Lords a-Leaping is very much a cheap Jet Set Willy clone. Eleven Ladies Dancing is a little Space Channel 5. and Ten Pipers Piping is a remake of Penises! Grab 'em all here.. socoder.net/?showcase=21479 And notice that Platgal is available in different colours, so just changing the colours of my characters doesn't necessarily mean you can then rip them off. >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Moshboy's "Underrated" Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SlumLord27/Moshboy continues to find those odd games that never get a chance. Give 'em a chance! ; #82 - Shuttle 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqQnoitJRiE ; #83 - Ichor www.youtube.com/watch?v=aILvVXXZCj0 ; #84 - Pleurghburg : Dark Ages www.youtube.com/watch?v=5akkksaeaA8 ; #85 - Glace www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zsk8oZwRe0 >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Pixel Prospector's Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Each week I take games from Authentic Kaizen's site, make new bit.ly url's for them, and post them here. That means that I can tell that nobody ever clicks them. https://www.pixelprospector.com/indev/ Three updated games, this week.. ; Treasure Adventure Game : New Trailer bit.ly/PPGames_TreasureTrailer ; Spelunky : Version 1.1 bit.ly/PPGames_Spelunky1_1 ; Bug Army : New Gameplay Video bit.ly/PPGames_BugArmyVid2 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Goto Links -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Classic Two Ronnies (Phoenix) Always great, but usually result in me thinking "Aww.. One of them's dead, now" and then remembering the Four Candles sketch due to it being the only one that was played over and over on the day that he died. socoder.net/?link=21724 ; Saruman : Metal! (HoboBen) So long as he does a cover of Leonard Nimoy's "Bilbo Baggins" song, I'll happily listen to whatever album comes out of this obscure mixup of Actor vs Music. socoder.net/?link=21719 ; Autographs (Afr0) Cheat your way to a complete autograph collection, by hassling celebrities in the privacy of their own homes. socoder.net/?link=21687 ; Zzzz.. Brrp..Zzzziiii.. Beep Beep Beep (JL235) Kick ass remake of a Radiohead classic, brought right up to date using a ZX Spectrum, a few Hard Drives, an old printer and even a Scanner. socoder.net/?link=21673 ; AGameADay, but not made (Sticky) A great idea for a site. Come up with a different idea each day, then post them all with screenshots and descriptions. He ran out of ideas.. I can sympathise!! socoder.net/?link=21671 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Syntax Error -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Multitouch Trackpad Events (Cower) How to tell fingers apart on a pad, and let BlitzMax know all about it. No use to me, but others might have a modern day MacBook. .. Maybe?! I still can't do it. My fingers refuse to move apart for the whole shrink/grow thing! Bah! socoder.net/?snippet=21727 ; Signed Integers (Scherererer) How and why numbers flip from positive and negative, all in a lovely descriptive binary form that Mr Green would be wholly proud of. socoder.net/?article=21718 ; Integer/IP Conversion (Sticky) How to take a string of numbers and dots, and then turn them all into a single great big number. .. Function rendered useless when using IP6! Nuts. socoder.net/?snippet=21708 ; 2009 Stats (Jayenkai) Watch as the lovely graph moves up and down, and then spikes dramatically whenever Spinal posts his latest version of DSision over at GBATemp. socoder.net/?blogs=21693 ; Overboard with Hacks (Mog) Mog's got the Dremel out, and now has a huge number of holes in the sides of his PC. That oughta keep it cool! I've never attempted anything like that myself, have you? Someone tell Mog something, 'cos he's been waiting almost an entire week for someone to reply!! socoder.net/?blogs=21685 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Random Youtube Videos -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMSS2l-7e70 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW6M8D41ZWU www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmFDEKXezas ------------------- Load, Next List |
