The Ashes

3rd December 2006

Australia can still win. Plus, it is a clever ploy to retain interest in the series. If we let England win one game, then more people will go to the matches :).
Or something like that. At any rate, Ponting will not let us lose the Ashes on Australian soil*snip*

Happy December ;-)

30th November 2006

My wishlist:
- Money for trip to the national computer science school this summer (January).
- 'Learning Python' book.
- Creative X-Fi ExtremeMusic sound card.

French choose Linux

28th November 2006

Knowing the French, they'll choose SLS.

QOTD - Resolution

28th November 2006

Well, again it depends on the game for me. With the sidescroller I (am/was) writing at the moment, I'm not letting them change it, because I want the SNES feel, and The SNES Feel(tm) doesn't have resolution changes. In short, it would ruin the atmosphere I*snip*


Yayyak

a few Hydra updates...

27th November 2006

AFAIK, the Propellor chip is made up of several parallel processing cores, and each core is called a 'cog'. Sounds like somebody let the marketing department design the processor :P.

QOTD - Big Games

23rd November 2006

A Pong game, actually. I was just beginning Blitz (back in the day) and I used .WAVs and .BMPs for all the content. It was about 5MiB. So no, the space wasn't used wisely at all. Knowing what I know now, I could fit the same game into about 1MiB.
My small*snip*

The Ashes

23rd November 2006

And we'll see YOU in the Tri-Nations final.
Ha!

Guide to selling Indie Games

23rd November 2006

This is a short guide to selling games over the internet.

The Ashes

23rd November 2006

*Growls and Snarls*
Dad's Army? We have a team composed of THE best players on the face of the earth. We have players in the wings. You'll see a lot of them in the one day series.
Though, what should I expect from a New Zealander? :P


Yayyak

The Ashes

22nd November 2006

It seems the ashes have started. Well, we Aussies are gonna whip you Pom's. The Barmy Army will go home very sad at the end of this series.
You can watch (read) the action here: content-aus.cricinfo.com
For those who have no idea what I'm talking about *snip*

QOTD - Pause

22nd November 2006

Escape for menu in most games, but again it depends.
And a quick note: If you do have a pause menu, make it something logical. 'P' is nice. Pause Break is acceptable, but something like F7 is just crazy.


Yayyak

QOTD - Scores

22nd November 2006

Well... I've never really implemented anything like that. But when I do (for the game I am currently writing), I'll probably implement a classic high score table, just because that's the kind of game it is (classic sidescroller).
So yeah, I guess it reall*snip*


Yayyak

the Hydra complete! :)

9th November 2006

Does the booth babe come with it? :P
[edit] In order to retain some likeness to slightly on-topic, I wish to say that it looks good. I just wish I had more money. [/edit]


Yayyak

heres' Percy......

5th November 2006

That is sooo cool!
I want one!

Button design contest

5th November 2006

My vote: That theme should be called 'Headspin'


Yayyak

Windows & Linux?

2nd November 2006

Oh dear. The world as we know it has ended. Let me have my GCC and Emacs, and I will be happy.


Yayyak

I knew I wasn't paranoid!

2nd November 2006

Quick, get out that tin foil hat!


Yayyak

The End

2nd November 2006

Yep, we're here. I find it's better to mourn, as leaving it just makes it worse. Good luck to you.

Devcrunch have a Xmas Compo

1st November 2006

Chance of me entering: 1*10^(-9)
I'm too lazy. Plus it's a bit hard to give an operating system a christmas theme, or develop one in a couple of months.

What do you want to know about a person?

1st November 2006

And a mugshot might be helpful too.


Yayyak

What do you want to know about a person?

1st November 2006

I thought you meant meeting a person of a different gender: 'Hmmm... Whether they don't hate me yet?'
But yeah, all that stuff Instinct said. It's more important that it make sense than you have a tonne of information. Contact info should be well laid out*snip*


Yayyak

I passed!

1st November 2006

Yeah...
Are there any internet multiplayer racing games worth playing?


Yayyak

I passed!

1st November 2006

Good luck for it, I know the pressure you feel. It all goes away again as soon as you hop in the car at the start of the test, at least it did for me. But I was going *swear word* before hand.


Yayyak

I passed!

31st October 2006

Well everybody, be very glad none of you live near me! I passed my driving test, so now I can go out and scare a whole lot of people!
w00t!
