#563 - Ragtime News |
Weekly NewsletterRagtime News#563 - Thursday 14th April, 2022groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Counting all 7mhz. Hello WorldAfter a heck of a lot of learning, I'm finally starting to get some sort of "Framework" up and running in BlitzBasic on the Amiga. I'm slightly worried that I might not be able to come up with any kind of decent game to use the engine, now, but this is no time to stop, and I'll be ploughing ahead with a game in the next week or so, in a haphazard attempt to get anything at all vaguely working! I have two double-screen-width buffers to play with, and .. like... 4 sprites, maybe..!? Anything more than 4 sprites causes the thing to instantly drop to 30fps. Gently does it. I'll figure things out, I think.. Maybe! Definitely no particles going on here, though! socoder.net/?GotoPost=83443 SoCoderHappy Being HappyRychan finds a couple of issues with his game, and then a play testing session brings about a new gameplay mechanic.Awesome!! socoder.net/?GotoPost=83394 And Otherwise..A "How's Everyone Doing" thread.Chip in, and tell us all about your crazy world. socoder.net/?Topic=8681 SoCraftingRobotic ArtA new AI Art Generator is on the scene.Dall-e 2 can make some incredibly impressive "realistic" images, but is currently embroiled in some copyright issues. Hopefully they can find a nice way to get around it, and also ... you know.. make it so we can use it! socoder.net/?Topic=8683 In fact, you know what'd be handy..? Having some of this tech running at home, instead of relying on dodgy-as-hell servers all the time. That NightCafe thing is getting slower and slower every day that I use it, and the website's now nagging me that it wants more than 1.5Gb space available to it. ... Slightly dubious about that, now, if I'm honest.. Hmmm.. It's great for making videogame BoxArt, though! SoRetroThe Amstrad CPC turned 38 years old, this week, with the 464 being unveiled back on the 12th April, 1984 Why not celebrate the birth of an icon by playing some of your favourite CPC games, then trying to remake them in record time!!! I expect a whole boatload of Amstrad recreations on the site by next week! (Sorry there's no link, this week.. Couldn't find anything amusing.. Let me know if you've spotted anything.) SoSiteNewsHamster ThreadThere really isn't an awful lot going on, on the site, this week.Luckily, PHS made a Hamster Thread. socoder.net/?Topic=8684 KiloTubeStreet MagicThe trick is in the wrist.View on YouTube F1 Racing, in 3Dyoutu.be/CziZueeex6IMusical Interludeyoutu.be/EI3W6cdBaG4CliffhangerHow will the crew get out of this crazy adventure?youtu.be/Jyz2pVqrEkI MegaTubeDodgy URLsDon't click on things!!!View on YouTube GigaTubeCheating KangView on YouTube Outdoor PursuitsMaking a TableView on YouTube In ConversationTeaching English...in Japan.... with a shoe on your head View on YouTube Like A Magic(To save you the trouble!)youtu.be/bZqUtVxDFvw Rather Old Cover CornerView on YouTube More Recent Cover CornerView on YouTube TVCover CornerView on YouTube VGRemix CornerView on YouTube ALChoonView on YouTube { ------------------- { Load, Next List! |
