#530 - Say Hello, Wave News |
Weekly NewsletterSay Hello, Wave News#530 - Thursday 19th August, 2021groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, deleting... Hello WorldToday I decided to spend "an hour" tidying up my iCloud Photos a bit. Every morning I post a daily pixelart, and end up saving the pixelart to my iPad, then creating a nice background for it, and save that too. Once a week after posting a SmileBASIC game, I then update my download stats, and take screenshot of those for Twitter. That's roughly 20 screenshots a week that aren't exactly worth keeping, along with the occasionally "LOL, That's a silly notification!" screenshots and more. But that builds up over time because I'm far too lazy to delete them. Screenshots of games, Foldapuz puzzles and more, all clutter my Photo library, and really shouldn't be part of my backups. Photos of the cat, sure, but I won't be needing to know that David Hasselhoff has a new track out, ten years down the line. *delete* So I set aside "an hour", and after about three hours eventually decided that was enough for today. After the lengthy session of browsing and deleting, I'd managed to work my way all the way up to January of this year, which would be great if I was working from the start, but iPhotos works from the newest photos, so... *ugh* More of that some other day, I reckon. SoCoderVic Sprites!AndyH has coded a way to get "sprite" type bitmaps to work on a Vic-20, without resorting to the reduced functionality/resolutions that you'd normally have to deal with.Seems like some sort of Hi-Res Sprite functionality, or otherwise. I'm not 100% sure myself, as I'm not all that familiar with how Vic/C64 technology worked, but it certainly sounds complicated and somewhat impressive given the Vic's low-spec capabilities. socoder.net/?Topic=8326 LowRes FreezeTheRevillsGames releases a game for the 64x64 LowRezJam, a fun little retro game where you play as an evil burglar, running away from the rozzers.Can you escape with the loot, or will you fall to your doom? socoder.net/?GotoPost=79845 Happy FlappingYep, looks like a Gameboy version's coming!Rychan posts more stuff for an upcoming Gameboy (and color!) edition of Flap Happy, along with his plans to generate levels. Looking good!!! socoder.net/?GotoPost=79848 Helicopter GameThat generic game where you hold to go up or release to go down.Jay spent about 4 days working on a new Framework/Handler menu system in GotoJSE, and then couldn't be arsed to write a decent game to go with it as an example. socoder.net/?GotoPost=79843 SoLong
