#438 - Harder, Faster, Newsier |
Weekly Newsletter; Harder, Faster, Newsier#438 - Thursday 24th October, 2019groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, as early as I've bothered to wake up! ; Hello WorldHalfway through writing this week's Newsletter, when suddenly the entire site went down! OMGWTFBBQ!! It was definitely the server. AGameAWeek, Browsercade, Shoebox and the rest were all down, and inaccessible for about half an hour! ARGH!! ... Oh yeah, that scheduled Server Maintenance they warned me about, a few weeks ago. *tsk* I really should've put that in my calendar. I'm sitting here at a quarter-past midnight, waiting for it to come back up. I haven't yet posted today's Foldapuz, and am praying the thing starts back up properly once the job's done. Spoiler : The site came back just fine. socoder.net/?Topic=7644 SoCoder; Hilly InsanitySpinal continues to work on his Sine-Wave Hillside game, transferring back to Blitz3D to get the project's basics up and running.After a bit of "Blitz is getting old, now!" slowdown, things finally got up to speed when he stopped trying to draw lines!! A number of tweaks later, and the engine seems to be coping admirably. Now, can he manage to port it back to the Pokitto? (I'm assuming he's aiming for a Pokitto version..!?) socoder.net/?GotoPost=73120 ; CentipedeSteve announces his intention to make a Centipede clone, and includes a couple of screenshots with a lovely little centipede!Looks great so far. Can't wait to see it all in motion. socoder.net/?Topic=7641 Editor note : Had to delete the word Centipong a couple of times, there.. SoTricky; Welcome, TrickyNew member Tricky joins the fold, this week.Tricky's posted a nice big introduction post, and the thread's already quite long. Stop by and say hi! socoder.net/?Topic=7635 ; NILTricky discusses the various methods of the language "NIL", a self-made language taking cues from Lua.socoder.net/?Topic=7636 ; Dyrt.NETMeanwhile, Tricky's also showing off an RPG named "Dyrt" coded in .NET, which already has a home on GitHub.socoder.net/?Topic=7642 SoWordyLast week's "Clever" word was a bit of a stinker, with nobody able to come up with anything creative. This week's word is "Jimper", and that appears to have gotten even less interest. Hmm.. If the next Word of the Week is also a dud, I might have to write my own list of pre-determined words, instead of relying on completely random words. Sorry about that, folks. Thought it might've been an interesting new feature, but so far.. Bah, humbug! socoder.net/?Topic=7640 SoOffTopic; Settling InRychan's starting to settle into his new life.Send well-wishes and hugs and other such things. socoder.net/?Blogs=73170 ; Quake III Arena vs Unreal TournamentWe all know UT was the best on PC, (it was, shut up) but which was better on the Dreamcast?!socoder.net/?Topic=7643 SoMuchMore; Games OverPaul posts the final post-mortem for the last of his "10 games in 10 weeks" projects.Congrats on a job well done, Paul!
