Hello World


Planned to do something entirely different, tonight, but then remembered I had a newsletter to write.
Bugger.
Aw well, the testcards can wait. I should probably also start to think about what happens come New Year.
I should really start back on the AGameAWeek track, and maybe get a couple of bits and pieces ready to go, instead of wasting the whole time faffing about with Testcards.
But, who am I to ruin a tradition, and actually plan anything in advance!?

Advent of Creativity

Shroom's been busy making a city, whilst Jay occasionally chips in with his testcards. Meanwhile, TKS has also chipped in, as has Pakz.
Are you feeling creative this advent? Post something creative, and make yourself proud to have taken part in an annual tradition!

Badvents

Rockford and Jay continue to compete for "Worst Advent Calendar of the Year"
Neither is winning.
They're all good.
Bah, humbug.

SoWarped


Last week, one of Rockford's posts had an erroneous javascript-null instance in the middle of the post.
After a good week of trawling through possible reasons, I've come to the conclusion that it was "more than likely" something to do with the Smiley Popup thing.
I honestly can't think of anything else that might add a javascript oddity like that, since.. other than the new popups.. there really isn't all that much javascript involved in posting a message.
If you've ever noticed such an oddity, do let me know when and where it was, and I can hopefully figure out what's causing it.

Thanks for any and all feedback you can give!

Stabs

There's an apparent vacination for the Covid, and it's being rolled out to the elderly and vulnerable, alongside care-workers, NHS staff and the like.
Hopefully that's a good thing, but do remember to stay socially distant, just in case.
Even if you eventually get the vaccine, not everyone else has.
.. Though, to be fair, they should probably stay inside!

Staying At Home

Whilst stuck inside all day, why not treat yourself to a podcast.
You'll probably recognise the name Kevin MacLeod. He's the wonderful creator of Incompetech.com, where he produces tons of royalty free music, which I'm fairly sure most of us will have used, at some point. I know I have.
He now has a weekly podcast, alongside co-host Bryan Teoh, where the two of them discuss all things music.
Just a few weeks ago, there was an episode divoted to that annoying gap you get when trying to loop mp3s in a game.
Well worth a listen.

Retro Virtual Machine

In his hunt for new emulators for his Mac, Jay stumbles upon a lovely Amstrad/Spectrum emulator, with a gorgeous interface.

Flip

Andrew Huang had a great idea for an iOS Synth project, so got together with a couple of musical devs, and now the result is available in the AppStore.
What are you waiting for!? Go grab the app, record some sonics, and make an amazeballs choon!

Dear Imgui

A lovely UI set of functions, to create nice buttons and whatnot in your games, without requiring too much of that spaghetti code that you usually end up with.
I'm not sure if it's supposed to be called "Dear Imgui", but that's what the title on the github thing says!

Bebop

Converting and sending messages across the Wifi/Interwebs can be tricky sometimes.
Bebop from Rainway is here to help speed the messaging up a little bit.
