Evil Roy Ferguso	Colour blindness in text games 13th May 2010 Try Color Oracle -- you can preview what an image will look like to people with different kinds of color blindness. If there is no suitable color palette, you might want to consider other kinds of visual indicators, as bram32 suggested -- maybe enclosing ksnip

Evil Roy Ferguso	Argh! Adverts!! 5th April 2010 I think the mid-thread ads are a little bit bothersome, but if they're only for non-logged in users, I can't really see complaining. I would not mind seeing the side ads even while logged in -- Google ads are plenty unobtrusive. +AdBlock whitelist

Evil Roy Ferguso	The forum game! (Modem warning : lots of pics) 14th February 2010 (Image.png)

Evil Roy Ferguso	Push it to the limit... 22nd December 2009 These are from my MacBook (2GHz, 4GB DDR2 RAM, Integrated Graphics), running Windows XP under virtualization: DX9: [code] \|--------------------------------------------------------------------------\| \| Jayenkai's BlitzMax Speed/Stress Tests snip

Evil Roy Ferguso	Pc engine LT console 8th December 2009 Did no one else notice that this is listed as a 3-Button Mouse? D:

Evil Roy Ferguso	To drink or not to drink! 5th December 2009 Vodka is probably my favorite, but only in very small amounts in mixed drinks. Lager is also an option -- most ales have too many hops for my taste. Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade is also good, because it basically tastes like cranberry lemonade, which issnip

Evil Roy Ferguso	Characters you never used... 27th November 2009 Zombie: (Image.png) Rabbit: (Image.png) Blob: (Image.png) Krampus (hides behind things, has separate hands which I have lost): (Image.png) Did I ever even give this guy hands I don't remember (Image.png)

Evil Roy Ferguso	After Blitz... 26th November 2009 BlitzMax is pretty stable now -- I think the first couple of releases were more or less betas. Since 1.3x-ish, it's gotten quite a bit more stable / consistent across computer machines. You might want to give it another try. D is in many ways a clean and snip

Evil Roy Ferguso	Domino Game 23rd October 2009 Now even dominoes explode when you put them together.

Evil Roy Ferguso	Structure of Game Classes 22nd October 2009 MVC actually works quite well for games, although "controller" does occasionally seem unnecessary for many game objects, and in those cases I tend to leave it out. One reason to separate model and view is to easily allow multiple representations of the gasnip

Evil Roy Ferguso	RGB to Web Hex? 21st October 2009 Since the Blitz angle is already taken care of, I'd like to note that you do not actually have to convert colors to Hex for CSS, because the following is possible: [code] color: rgb(212, 208, 200); [/code] It's part of the CSS standard, and even IE6 susnip

Evil Roy Ferguso	Nobel Peace Prize 9th October 2009 I agree with JNK and Phoenix, who both elucidated my opinion much more clearly than I could have. Including the part about the Swedes.

Evil Roy Ferguso	QOTD : I'm not fat!!! 6th October 2009 Sour Patch Children won't gunk up the keyboard under ordinary circumstances. They are apparently pretty hard to find in the UK, but they are perhaps the one thing worth importing from our country.

Evil Roy Ferguso	dev-c++ problem 8th September 2009 This is not related, but I do consider it to be important: Dev-C++ has been essentially abandoned since 2005. The version of MinGW (a Windows port of the GCC compiler) that it bundles with it is now extremely out of date and does not support a number of fsnip

Evil Roy Ferguso	another hi thread 26th August 2009 Gonzo FTW! Welcome aboard.

Evil Roy Ferguso	Crossing the line in games? 9th August 2009 Some time ago I decided to simplify my definition of art to "anything created with intentions of aesthetics or entertainment." It's not the "right" definition, but it allows me to bow out of "is it art" discussions, which is convenient because I am sick ofsnip

Evil Roy Ferguso	Sams C++ in 24 Hours and Borland C++ BuilderX Problems 6th August 2009 If you're on Windows or Linux, CodeLite is an excellent free IDE.* It's lightweight, but quite featureful. If you're on Mac OS, CodeLite is a mediocre free IDE -- it's not been Mac-ified very well. Non-"C++ Builder" Borland C++s are now ancient and shousnip*

Evil Roy Ferguso	C++ File Operations 6th August 2009 Just to note, there is a much nicer way of using using than using namespace: [code] #include <iostream> int main() { using std::cout; using std::endl; cout << "Fresh lemon scent" << endl; } [/code] You can use using for individual itesnip

Evil Roy Ferguso	Hard Drive Ghosting - What's the best? 5th August 2009 I don't know about best, but I've had no trouble with dd, which is cheap, free, and easy. [code]dd if=inputdevice of=outputfile[/code] It's included in Knoppix, which ironically is handy mainly as a way to back up and repair Windows installations.

Evil Roy Ferguso	QOTD : Dumbass! 1st August 2009 [code]Const EnemyState_ZombieIsActuallyAHat = 6[/code] Hats were implemented as a state of Zombies, instead of as a separate enemy. The fact that I am still alive after that is proof the existence of a merciful God.

Evil Roy Ferguso	Socoder meetup (again!) 26th July 2009 I currently plan to be living in destitution by October, otherwise I would be interested -- if only for Simon and Garfunkel.

Evil Roy Ferguso	Best Files Upload? 21st July 2009 I've never had a real problem with (Linkage) -- no CAPTCHAs, which is nice.

Evil Roy Ferguso	New PC Deal Discussion 9th July 2009 I'd second Phoenix's comment about building your own if you have the time for it, especially if you have parts you're willing to cannibalize from an older computer. £600 should be more than sufficient for a pretty nice rig, especially if ysnip

Evil Roy Ferguso	Number conversion!! 5th July 2009 Have you confirmed that the length is being written correctly? It would be nice to see how you are writing that. Once you know the values are being written correctly, try writing a test. Write out some small test files with known values (including some edsnip
