Selecting a country

19th May 2009

I would suggest that you could have an off-screen color coded map. You check the mouse coordinates on the screen in the color map, and then you see that if the color under the mouse on the color map is red then the country at that certain position is the U*snip*

I've been twisting and bending my head over and over again on this matter, trying to think of language innovations. The conclusion I've come to is that you can add static type checks, object orientation, functional elements and so forth, mixing different "*snip*

Is this guy God? o_O

He's Criss Angel, not Criss God ;) Fairly cool tricks though, although I wonder what's left out by the camera. I think there's more stuff going on there which is intentionally missed by the film.

I use SoCoder.com. I thought it would fix a certain issue, but it didn't, and then I couldn't be arsed switching back. I'm with Stealth though: SoCoder.com sounds "proper."

I've never dug very deeply into the demo scene. Many productions have impressed me, but this is on a whole different level, this is completely crazy: these guys fit that whole demo into 64 kilobytes! It's fairly memory-heavy once it's started ru*snip*

I suppose it's a bit buggy then. It still plays though ;)

The tune should always sound decent, since it's just a C major chord being played. The choice of notes isn't always that musical though (unless you think that random() is an undiscovered Mozart ;)).

If you're using VS Express then I doubt that you'll find something which integrates nicely with it, since there's no support for 'addons'. I could be wrong, though.

That's my thoughts too; if someone is to shout "OMG! That was made within a week!!!? WTF!!" then either one either has to devote 168 hours to the game or there has to be some kind of a major flaw in it.

Learn Python First then Learn C++

I wouldn't reccomend people to learn C. It's old, fairly unnecessary and teaches people who are aiming towards learning C++ bad habits. Any language that you can easily learn is a good starting point (as long as it isn't too unconventional), just to get th*snip*

Best place to hire pixel artists?

12th April 2009

DeviantArt is probably a good place to go to, if you're planning on paying. Browse through the galleries and see if you find something you like and PM that person, or make a forum topic about it. Be prepared to pay up, though.
