#612 - Zelda Zelda Zelda! |
Weekly NewsletterZelda Zelda Zelda!#612 - Thursday 25th May, 2023groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Another Opal Missed WeekOh dear.I blame Zelda. Literally 4 or 5 hours of every day for the past week have been spent roaming the lands of Hyrule. My coding has fallen to an all-time low, and I'm even struggling to fit in time for an ALChoon. I expect there's a lot of that going around, as the forum's been fairly barebones over the past couple of weeks, hence my decision not to do the newsletter last week. Had I done it, it would've mostly consisted of "The xyz thread had a couple of posts on it." and not much else. Honestly, it's been ominously quiet on the site, the past couple of weeks. But there's enough to pad out a newsletter, this week, so let's get on to that, eh!?! SoCoderHitting the MaxSpinal's MaxFPS creation is hitting the limits of what the AI can manage to cope with.Hopefully he's got a nose, now. socoder.net/?GotoPost=90199 Frickin' Laser!!!Pakz created a lovely looking swirly sine-wave based Laser Beam effect.socoder.net/?Snippet=90202 SoPoke?May Be ArtyThe month of May is drawing to a close, and the art thread's been.. Lacklustre at best. Which is a shame.I enjoyed the challenge of having to use my own art skills to create little pictures each day. socoder.net/?Topic=9142 OK, time to think about next month's challenge, then. Any suggestions?!
Do we go back to doing a MindPoke? Suggestions are, as always, much appreciated. SoCuddleHugging ThreadThe hugging thread exists to give hugs to any/all those who are on the site.Please give hugs to your fellow forum members. socoder.net/?Topic=9161 SoTechWinRarWindows is finally adding the ability to extract .rar files, along with .7zip and more.Will it manage the odd .lha/.lzx archive, too!?! Bet it can't!! Are you happy that you can now easily un-rar an archive? Or, like me, do you install WinRar because "Right-click, extract" is quicker than "Right-click, Extract Files, up pops a dialogue, click ok, "Done" click ok again, close the bloody thing, open the folder, because it put the single file inside a folder" But, hey, Microsoft's gotta Microsoft! socoder.net/?Topic=9162 SoMeMeMeTwo Games?!So engrossed was I, in the world of Zelda, that I forgot to post about last week's AGameAWeek game to the forum.Geeze!... Here's two games I made, recently, then. Turtle Trek and Sea Serpent. socoder.net/?GotoPost=90210 MusicALIn the realm of "How can I produce a music video without having to do anything", I used some Rollin' Rubber gameplay footage with some lyrics thrown on top, to go alongside a song about driving a car.Hurray for extreme laziness! socoder.net/?GotoPost=90183 Derek LoRAI've released a version of the Derek LoRA that you can (maybe) use if you have a version of Stable Diffusion running on your system.Now you, too, can generate stupid pictures of Greenie with his inexplicably numerous limbs!! socoder.net/?Topic=9158 SoQuestionedQuestions!This week's questions have been fairly fun to answer, but nobody else is joining in.I might scrap this feature come June. Kinda feels like me just chatting to myself, and that's not a good thing. Time to go. socoder.net/?GotoPost=90191 SoServerHello ZarosZaros has joined the forum, this week. A old BlitzCoder member, who's been around for as long as the rest of us.Say hi, and maybe send a hug! socoder.net/?Topic=9159 Podcast SectionModel RailwaysThe QI-Elves discuss model railways, and other delights.Was the Pied Piper real?
