#577 - Puyo News |
Weekly NewsletterPuyo News#577 - Thursday 28th July, 2022groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Preparing myself for the end of the world... .. of Neighbours. Hello WorldTuesday : Spent about 3 hours trying to get a rainbow to draw properly. Gave up. Deleted Rainbow. That's more or les show my whole week's been going, so far. Last week I prepared a great little ALChoon, posted a new Browsercade game, anthem new Alien Deathmatch Arena to SmileBASIC This week. Fail after fail after fail. Nothing has seemingly gone right, and if I'm honest, it's really starting to irritate me. In other none-news, just had a slight panic attack when my MacBook's mouse cursor completely disappeared, only for me to realise it'd crossed over to my iPad. Oh, Apple, with your completely useful functionality that I forget about until it decides to completely fuck with my head. SoCoderRaycastingPakz has a play with the world of 3D Geometry, as he tries to make a 3D world using rectangles and lines and all those other retro elements.Written in Javascript, his simple demo features a map and a camera. Will it end up as a nice little 3D game?!
Is it too much to hope for a remake of the Amiga "Trick or Treat" shareware game?! Stay tuned to find out! socoder.net/?Snippet=84838 Funky ChickenAndyH is currently using Fusion to create prototype games that (I presume) he'll later on be attempting to get to work on older retro hardware.He's currently playing with an inverted pacman kind of game, where the Funky Chicken lays so many eggs, your head would implode!! .. Goodness knows how the poor little chicken's cloaca's feeling. socoder.net/?Topic=8802 In ControlSpinal's continuing his exciting hacks at SmileBASIC by trying to make an Arduino work as a controller, so that he can send bytes of data to the system, in the form of controller inputs...!Sure, OK! Whatever works, I guess. socoder.net/?GotoPost=84861 SoCraftingDrumloopsWhy bother making your own drumloops any more, when AI can do it for you!Pakz points us to a drumloop that actually sounds pretty damn good. They also loop really well, too, so you can drag and drop them into your DAW of choice and get cookin'! socoder.net/?Topic=8799 SoResurrectedAre Pulp Coming Back?Without a DoubtAfter a teaser on Instagram last week, seems like Jarvis is getting the band back together, to do another final farewell tour. It'll be a shame if there's not a new album to show for it, though given how dreary the last Pulp album was, alongside Jarvis' solo stuff, maybe that's not such a great thing. Could do with a nice lively Pulp album, right now, though. baritalia.activeboard.com/t68640134/pulp-to-play-live-shows-in-2023/ Are Altered Images Coming Back?It Is CertainClaire P Grogan isn't waiting for that Red Dwarf call-back any more, and has dived right back into doing music. After the past few years playing at a variety of those "80s Live!" sorts of gigs, there's been a new album recorded, and it's being drip-fed to us track by track! The new album, Mascara Streaks is currently listed as releasing on the 26th of August. socoder.net/?Topic=8798 Is Blitz3D Coming Back?Outlook Not So Good.The rumour mill is full of speculation over what exactly Acid Software's been posting, though it now appears to be just the Fan-Updated GitHub ports that are being discussed. Still, was a thing there for a while, and everyone got a little excited! socoder.net/?Topic=8801 SoSiteNewsA Tweak UntweakedI thought about something on Sunday, grabbed the laptop, opened the SoCoder Code, and completely forgot what the tweak was.It's been a few days since then, and the idea hasn't yet re-emerged. God damnit, I hate getting old!! If you can delve into my head on Sunday Afternoon, please do let me know what it was that I so desperately considered fixing. Thanks! SoAffordableMotionI've been hunting for a decent tool to do ALChoon Music Videos for a while, and this week found out about Apple Motion.It's a sort of Mini version of Final Cut Pro, but is "meant" to be for generating small titles and such that can then be imported into Final Cut Pro. As it is, though, it's actually quite a powerful little video editor, allowing you to trigger things based on audio, great for making little music videos. It's also powerful enough to do 3D text, 3D objects, motion tracking and more.. Might be worth a look if you're interested in doing short intro clips for videos/games, as well as other similar things. socoder.net/?Topic=8803 KiloTubeMusical InterludeView on YouTube Epic Disguiseyoutu.be/KqqtqsPf2q4I Don't Think He Likes Ityoutu.be/jmqmZP9ORloMusical Interludeyoutu.be/QhqSE6qx-bQFootball Thingyoutu.be/Tv9tMSjdVacMusical Interludeyoutu.be/xepSIKHBN8oMegaTubeDying Hard DrivesWhy they die, and how to tell if they're already doing so.View on YouTube GigaTubeMaking the Perfect Pop VideoCaptain Disillusionment shows us how, including a really neat way to cheat a stop motion video.View on YouTube WalkingMike attempts 10,000 steps a day, for a week....I miss walking places. youtu.be/ZTDCRWOCUps NeighboursFarewell, Neighbours.The long-running Aussie soap comes to an end tomorrow.If you're interested in watching the finale, there's the regular episode on Channel 5 at 6pm, and then a one hour two-part ending at 9pm. ...
