#176 - Blame the Network |
Socoder NewsletterBlame the Network#0176 - Friday 17th May 2013groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Friday, Unless Disconnected Hello World!Hmmm... You know when you Google yourself, for the hell of it? I haven't done that for a while. I've instead, been assuming that Google Alerts is doing its job, and occasionally glancing at the oddities that it brings up. Apparently, it isn't, though, as I've just stumbled upon a whole catalogue of things that Google Alerts never told me about. Chief among them is this.. bit.ly/ZT4hCZ Someone out there is "Let's Play"ing a whole series of my games!! Awesome!!!  SoCoderSpatial AwarenessAfr0 wants to shuffle his question'smultiple-choice answers around, for a bit of randomness. Seems he's thinking of the answers in items with co-ordinates, as opposed to memory elements. socoder.net/?topic=3494 Partition CrazinessSpinal's having complicated Partition based issues.Looks like his "Windows 8 on a separate partition" option might not have actually done as requested. Any advice? I haven't dared butt in. I know next to nothing about partitioning!! socoder.net/?topic=3491 Click Here to Insert Pong PaddleI can't get to grips with GUI based development.I know others love it, and a whole industry exists around this "modern, efficient" style of coding, but it's not my style. Gimme a screen full of text, any day. socoder.net/?topic=3492 IndiesphereGIMME MY MONEY!!!!A strange event, this week, as Nintendo has decidedto totally freak out over YouTube Lets Play videos. If you show a Nintendo game, you owe them money, bitch!!! You can, of course, make as many videos of my games as you'd like. Just be sure to give me a link, so I don't get pissed off about it like I did with IGN that time!! (...incidentally, this news is a bit of an odd coincidence, given that I wrote this week's "Hello World" bit on Monday!!) www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22552756 MailbagAs the writer of a blog titled AGameAWeek, it'sobvious that some people appear to misunderstand the concept. Rather than thinking "good grief, this guy actually creates a game every week!?" they think "Hey, lets send him our latest game! He can review it, and post about it as his AGameAWeek!" .. Silly people! This week's silly person made a game called "Pixel Rush" bit.ly/107Mj3s Procedurally EpicA lovely little WIP game, with a whole lot of"procedurally generated' elements. Mmmmm... Random!! youtu.be/tTGfcmMFT80 SoOffTopicMogDogThis week, Mog decided to create a canine model, togo with his meerkat. I'm scared of dogs!! socoder.net/?topic=3493 New Record WorldIn a digital age, it's odd that Vinyl still getsused, and even weirder that it's popularity is somehow increasing, over the past few years! Spinal's found a couple of recent oddities, including scanning a record to try to interpret the data, and 3D printing a record. Quite what the point of either of these are, is unknown! Coming soon : Now That's What I Call Sinclair 48k! All your favourite ZX Spectrum games, collected together on a double album for the first time! socoder.net/?topic=3488 Awwwww! Bunny!Awwww!!!socoder.net/?topic=3485 Retweets@WhatKateDoes World Premiere of Amiga - quite an impassioned demo, and a historical oddity. youtu.be/hWiOVa1R4m0 1985!!! @IcarusTyler The Diary of Sad Cats is brilliant #cats t.co/6ApEVEBdL2 @danthat Video Games IRL t.co/OQ2zsKxU0B @Derme302 Nothing like a fancy 3D render. #UDK #ScreenshotSaturday t.co/c8Gqe1rRwf @GIBiz EA pulls plug on Wii U support. Publisher confirms it has no games in development for Nintendo's latest console t.co/UBsVKPzZP0 @RetroRemakes Wahey, best reason to get a Wii U ever! TubageKitty Cats!youtu.be/_MR3YMlROwkDaft Punkyoutu.be/c0ZFE4M4S8YMusical Interludeyoutu.be/KaOC9danxNoHow to Drawyoutu.be/QncgmzH6yQUSadfaceIt's only been gone two weeks, and already I'mmissing this show.. youtu.be/31JRilkI8gM End OfDue to unexpected network issues, I've been unable to access my NAS drive for most of the past week. For the most part, I can deal with the lack of NAS, but it means backing up onto a thumbdrive, and with all my coding, that poor little thumbdrive's getting quite full! This morning I realised another little issue. My current "Newsletter Converter" program is stuck on the NAS drive, and without being arsed to fuck about getting it online, I've instead opted to use a slightly older version of the program that was left on my pre-NAS External USB harddrive. This version's from December 2010, and the Newsletter has changed in many ways since then, so apologies if things look a little weird, this week! I'll have it sorted by next week. .. maybe! Ooooh, a link!bit.ly/SN_AddVGRemix Corneryoutu.be/KzexRUB76tc youtu.be/8vp4iHxUA_s youtu.be/6HUfmW6eDF4 ------------------- Load, Next List! |
