This week, the curious world of AL seems to have overtaken much of my life, as his quirky silly little CHOONS appear to be overtaking my AGameAWeek in general popularity.
I've decided to ride on this wave of Sillyness, so am taking AL into all new undiscovered realms of insanity.
For starters, I remembered he has a YouTube channel, so am going to try to come up with some sort of quick and easy way to take an mp3 and convert it into some kind of crazy animated video, without me having to interact with it, too much. Preferably, if I could stick a title, artist, picture, and have it throw up a visualisation thing, that'd do the job nicely.
I'm not entirely sure what or how it'll end up, but if you've any suggestions for suitable programs that might help in this process, let me know.
In other news, it appears that AL will be designing all the sprites in the new "Sheep Goes Left" sequel, too, so he's got an awful lot of work ahead of him!
It seems that this question comes up every few months, and this time it's Rockford who's taking the plunge.
Will he choose to make the switch to Monkey, or will he stick with the GLBasic that he's already comfortable with? socoder.net/?topic=3661

; C64Pi
WarOffice, DoghouseDean, or just Dean, has uncovered a nice little C64 emulator for Raspberry Pi
Rather than just being a basic emulator, it takes over your Pi, and becomes the OS, so you essentially have a super-mega commodore computer, or something like that.
No idea, if I'm honest, but it sounds like something neat to try out, for all you Pi owners. commodorepi.codeplex.com/
