#415 - Country News |
Weekly Newsletter; Country News#415 - Friday 17th May, 2019groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Friday, I should probably change this to say Thursday..! ; Hello WorldI need to rethink the menu for my Shoebox of Games. The catagories got mangled when I first added "Four In-A Row". To me, that's not a board game. I mean, it kinda gets marketed as a board game, but it's more like a 2 player vs thing, pretending to be a board game. A board game is more "Move along the various squares, events occur", but Four In-A Row is more a strategy based challenge. So I put it into "Misc Games", and put Reversi alongside it, because that, too is a 2 player vs thing. But now I'm adding Mancala, which is another 2 player vs thing, but it's also one of the earliest board games known to man. .. So.. Yeah, that should definitely be a board game. So, now where do Reversi and Four In-A Row go? Chess, Checkers, Battleships.. They're the same, too. They don't fit well, and I think I need more categories Grrr.. The whole menu needs a good old rethink. SoCoder; Pakz' PixlzPaks shows off some of his recent pixelart work, doing lots of little 8x8 pixel sprites.Amazing little details in the sprites, especially since they all have little black 1-pixel outlines, meaning he's actually only got about 6x6 pixels to work with.

Then they all seemed to disappear, and be forgotten about. Syntax Bomb came back, though, and is just as good as it ever was. What long-lost sites are you hopeful will make a fantastic return to form? Voodoo Extreme would be nice. socoder.net/?Topic=7476 ; DestinyIs your destiny your own, or is it something you're born with?Or is it just the ship from Stargate Universe?

Thankfully they stayed an extra hour or so, so Mum actually got to say hi, got her book signed, and chatted with them for a good 5 minutes or so. She really enjoyed herself, and said they were a lovely couple  socoder.net/?GotoPost=71377 ; Saints UhohJay buys Saints Row 3 on Switch, and immediately regrets it.socoder.net/?Topic=7474 KiloTube; SprayThere's a new Spray album out on Friday 17th.

That save the egg (egg drop challenge), we had to do that at my high school for science back in the mid 1980s.
