Hello World

     It's already June, and the first half of the year is nearly over.
     Some new people have joined, some old ones have left, but in general we're still doing exactly what we were last year.
     Aw well, carry on!

     Bit of a short one, this week, not a whole lot going one, what with everyone finishing off their exams and things.
     No matter. Plenty of filler vids at the end

In the Shoutbox..
     A surprise!

In the Mudchat..
     Pacman
     Ghosts
     AI
     Tom Clancey
     Sid Miers
     and Max Payne

Actually, I didn't. I remembered to add it to Google Calender, and then IT reminded me!

Things that got done

     WarioWare
     TimelineFX
     Having a Break

Saving 16bit

How can you save images as 16bit bitmaps? Spinal cheats in an intriguing way!

Super Turtle!

Mindstorm8191 has a nice idea about scripted image editing/filtering. Lets hope he sees it through. It'd be nice to see it working.

Something Useful

Hero Extant

I still don't quite get the name of this, but it's a wonderful piece of work by HoboBen.
Taking a set of parameters, this will generate a wonderful 2D landscape, with realistic wind, rain, rivers, height, and more.

HaXic Update

Bram continues to build up his lovely HaXic language, by adding physics into the mix.

Bram considers it..

Bram gets the job done..

     And, bloody hell, what an example!
     I've seen some complicated shitty examples for physics before, but that one's absolute simplicity at it's best!
     You can read it, you can understand it, and it works fantastically.

     Bravo, Bram!

Abandoned Indie Games

< Only one little game, this week, but it looks lovely!

#4 - Block Invaders

A nice Space Invaders styled shooter, where each pixel of the invaders must be destroyed individually, thus giving you shedloads more to shoot at!
hurray for shooty things!

Pixel Prospector's Games

It's the first week in June!!!
I'm sure Kaizen will get things done soon enough

Memorized

A nice little platformer where you only get 5 seconds to see the level! After that, it's all down to how much you can remember it.
Simple levels of black and white, with the odd color here and there. Looks lovely and retro!

Hydorah

The final version of Hydorah is out, and it's all full of lovely floaty spacey shooty retroness!
peow-peow-peow peow-peow peow-peow peow!!

Curly's Freeware

4D Prince of Persia

A great remake of PoP that can apparently read level data from all sorts of editions of the classic 2D game.
Loads of levels to play, and there's even an editor, somewhere, to make your own. Get sucked in, all over again!!

My Reddit flash drive arrived today, and seems right at home on my bookshelf.

Fact : Even guys who used to be on Star Trek have shelves full of stupid TV related pap! I feel much less geeky now!
