QOTD: Halloween!31st October 2008 I was going to dress up as a zombie pirate... it was really cold one day last year and I was walking around stiff-legged... I figure I could imitate that fair enough. But we're not actually going out to do anything this year, so... maybe some other time **snip* |

Garbage Invader parts30th October 2008 I have recently come to realize just how much work is involved in creating new part types for Garbage Invaders. I started writing a list of all the things I would have to do to include a new part in the game, and the list got to be really long. Here's wh*snip* |

An image editing program28th October 2008 I'm afraid I have to agree with Jay here, and stick to windows. Trying to support multiple platforms seems like an aweful lot of work. That is, if wxWidgets doesn't work out... As far as features go, I would recommend having alot of hot-keys to get thin*snip* |

QOTD : Making a clone...27th October 2008 I'm currently working on a clone of Dr Mario for the NES. Haven't got too far yet, but hope to allow more than 2 players, online play, more colors, etc. Lets see how far I get. :) |

An image editing program27th October 2008 Jay, that picture looks good. But if you ask me, all those icons at the left side? I have no idea what they do. I'm not saying its a bad idea, but you might want to consider having captions pop up when you mouse over them. ...Although, just a name of t*snip* |

Editors26th October 2008 JL, you make a valid point. Sure you don't need to be viewing your code when you're testing things, and yes, decent editors will let you hide things that you don't want on the screen. But the trouble I find, when I'm coding in C# or something, is I'm fre*snip* |

Editors25th October 2008 Phoenix, I kinda agree with that picture. When there's that much stuff on the screen, you barely have enough space to actually look at your code. Its all pushed down into a tiny square, where you end up having to scroll left & right to view full lines. *snip* |

Editors23rd October 2008 Well, judging by the current standings in today's poll, it looks like most people like simple editors, me included. Of course, making a feature-rich editor that also appears to be simple to use is quite a challenge. So I figure we should have a discussio*snip* |

Time synchronization problem21st October 2008 Pio, another problem is the fact that the computer's clock is not very accurate, in terms of timing. What I mean is, if you were to time something over an hour, the computer's clock does that just fine. But if you want to do something every millisecond, *snip* |

My project...20th October 2008 The 'ours' rule does sound a bit bad, but I think its fair to restrict people to projects that are only developed during the competition's timeline, otherwise you'd get all kinds of games that people have worked on for months or years in advance. |

Music File lengths15th October 2008 Yeah, bitrate would have alot to do with the filesize-to-song length ratio. Plus if I'm not mistaken, mp3 files will divide different parts of a song out into different pieces, much like different insturments in a band. A complex song would be larger but*snip* |

Array-based collisions10th October 2008 Well, I might have something else that might help you. What I understand from your post, for each tile you have a tile type instance, but to find each tile you have to scan all tiles.

QOTD : What are you playing?4th October 2008 I've been playing Diablo II LOD a bit more lately. I have tried with several players to beat the game, but haven't yet. I had a level 73 necromancer but couldn't beat Baal in nightmare mode. This is in single-player mode, of course. So for a while I wa*snip* |

Sudoku Solver4th October 2008 dna: no, I'm talking about a system that would generate a sudoku puzzle, not something that loads things in from a text file. I wouldn't want to limit players to 100 or something puzzles... and I wouldn't want the hassle of trying to make / find working p*snip* |

America, Society, and stupid policies (long rant)4th October 2008 I've never heard of someone getting a ticket for j-walking, though from what I know if you get hit from j-walking, it's your fault and you can't get health coverage from the driver's insurance.

America, Society, and stupid policies (long rant)29th September 2008 Orion, sometimes I think you're right about there being too many laws in america.

domain host closed doors, now what?25th September 2008 I agree, domain sitting should be a crime. But then, how do you define domain sitting? I think I'll go for that GoDaddy.com service. In the meantime, my new site at (Linkage) is shaping up pretty well. |

QOTD : Incorrect grammar11th September 2008 What bugs me is when people say is, instead of are. Like, "who is you?". I mean, how much harder is it to say are, instead of is? Where did these people even go to school? If people used correct grammar maybe they'd be easier to understand. But... oh *snip* |

GGAAHH - Steam hath betrayed me...2nd September 2008 The Portal game for PC is on my 'buy later' list. I played a flash game online (its free, you can google it) and it was quite fun, though only 2D. Should be much more fun in 3D. |
