=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Socoder Newsletter -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Written using Keys" #044 - 26th February 2010 https://groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Tell all your friends! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Hello all This week I tried an experiment. I posted NeonPlat into it's own thread on TIGSource's Forum, and it's had 112 views within a day. Compare that to when it originally got posted inside the "AGameAWeek" thread and it got 17. Currently Listening To... Nothing, it's quieter. In the Workshop Puppets! socoder.net/index.php?topic=1900 In the Shoutbox.. Mar10, John Carmack and IE5 In the Mudchat More Mar10 AGameAWeek TodoLists Spam Velocity Guns Shooters and periods of validity Join in, it's occasionally fun! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Read Post$ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; The Forum Game Afr0's off and on topic about posting numerical pics has suddenly sprung back to life after an unsequential number got posted! socoder.net/?topic=1841 ; Isometric Terrain It's nice to make Isometric games, but a complete git to try and figure it all out! Tikihead gives it a whirl! socoder.net/?topic=1896 ; Those darn Image tags again... Seems some other forums are now using [img width=x] for scaling the images down. That seems silly to me, since everyone would scale to whatever resolution their currently using, and completely ignore what everyone else is using. This turns a nicely formatted forum into another silly locked resolution site, and the site looks daft on low resolutions. Folk still have low resolutions, you know... On Socoder, you can use imgs to have the image scale to a 400 pixel width, which can then be clicked on to enlarge it to the full size image, in the nice smooth scaling style. socoder.net/?topic=1898 On a similar note, if you're using a mobile browser, switch to Grey'n'Green theme, and it all lights up, so you can "mini-view" the site in an instant. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Repeat : Until GameOver -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- A whole bunch of new games, every single week!! >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Socoder Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ; Madness Online (Tikihead) A nice platform shooter with tons and tons of blood. Hurray!!! socoder.net/?showcase=22186 ; Blanko's "To the Moon" gets called "Dull" ?! But it's lovely!! Reviewers, it seems, have as much ADD as I do, when it comes to playing games. If the game doesn't catch you within half a second, it's got no chance!!! socoder.net/?showcase=22178 >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >> Moshboy's "Missed" Games >> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SlumLord27/Moshboy completed his Underrated Indie Games list, so is now doing "Games You Might Have Missed".
