#581 - Take Me Home, Country News |
Weekly NewsletterTake Me Home, Country News#581 - Thursday 01st September, 2022groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, looking at fake pictures Hello WorldOne of my favourite images created by Dall-E lately, has been this one.  Spawned from the phrase "An evil muppet about to eat a kitten.", I expected nothing but evil muppets.. But that one is lovely. The cute little kitten and muppet are both giving the evils to the "camera" and .. then you remember that there isn't a camera, and there isn't a kitten and there isn't a muppet, and none of that exists, and it's all been generated by an Artificial Intelligence. That's fucking crazy, man!!! NightCafe Studio have recently added a new Stable Diffusion method, and between that, Craiyon and Dall-E, there's loads of fun generation tools to play with. Now we need an AGameAWeek idea generator that comes up with incredibly unique ideas, but that are possible to code in the space of a week!! socoder.net/?GotoPost=85220 SoCoderJNKPlat - Switch EditionJay spent most of August working on a SmileBASIC version of JNKPlat. With 100 levels included, it sure as hell took it out of him.At least one player on Twitter has managed to complete all the internal levels, and Jay's already unveiled how to access the Level Editor. Players love it! socoder.net/?GotoPost=85282 Also, apologies there was no Newsletter, last week.. I had 100 levels to make!!! SoHealthThumb PainOh my god, that looks so fucking painful.Rockford breaks his thumb. Don't worry, there's no blood, only an X-Ray. But.. Good grief, what an X-Ray. socoder.net/?Topic=8840 Leg PainTheRevillsGames tells us of some terrible Leg Cramps.Don't worry, there's no Leg Pics here! socoder.net/?Topic=8830 SoSecureExtra CamerasBrice gets round to adding another camera to his security hub, so he can keep an eye on neighbour's cats.Hurray for neighbour's cats!!! socoder.net/?GotoPost=85265 SoRetroWaldo's LifeWalk like a dog in this new ZX Spectrum release.Hop through the forest, dodge all the bad guys, and let Mr Fluffy help you on your way. danielisoba.itch.io/waldo Roland In The PocketThe Amstrad CPC 464 Portable!Such pocket. hackaday.io/project/187051-the-amstrad-cpc-portable SoSiteNewsQuestion of the Day's Back!Remember when I used to have to come up with a question every day, and then got sick of having to come up with a question every day, and then the question of the day disappeared and was never heard from again?I found a large collection of semi-personal questions online, and have stuffed them all into a great big giant bag. We've got about a year's worth to get through, so that oughta be fun. The system will stuff all the QOTDs for a month into a single topic, so we don't end up with hundreds of threads. Feel free to answer any days you've missed along the way. You can use the quote tags to let us know which of the questions you're answering. I'm currently looking into ways of having a great big anonymity button, especially given some of the Questions that are in the list, but am slightly worried that, with as few members as we have, if everyone's answered except the anonymous person, it'd be really bleedin' obvious who that last person is!!! Suggestions welcome. This is August's thread socoder.net/?Topic=8845 And here's the September thread that spawned earlier this morning. socoder.net/?Topic=8846 SoChristmassyFestive Feels are in the air, and Mrs AndyH has been out grabbing Advent Calendars.
