; Hello all
This week I tried an experiment. I posted NeonPlat
into it's own thread on TIGSource's Forum, and it's
had 112 views within a day. Compare that to when it
originally got posted inside the "AGameAWeek" thread
and it got 17.
Currently Listening To...
Nothing, it's quieter.

; The Forum Game
Afr0's off and on topic about posting numerical pics
has suddenly sprung back to life after an unsequential
number got posted!
socoder.net/?topic=1841
; Isometric Terrain
It's nice to make Isometric games, but a complete
git to try and figure it all out!
Tikihead gives it a whirl!

; Those darn Image tags again...
Seems some other forums are now using [img width=x]
for scaling the images down. That seems silly to me,
since everyone would scale to whatever resolution
their currently using, and completely ignore what
everyone else is using.
This turns a nicely formatted forum into another
silly locked resolution site, and the site looks daft
on low resolutions.
Folk still have low resolutions, you know...
On Socoder, you can use imgs to have the image scale
to a 400 pixel width, which can then be clicked on to
enlarge it to the full size image, in the nice smooth
scaling style.
socoder.net/?topic=1898
On a similar note, if you're using a mobile browser,
switch to Grey'n'Green theme, and it all lights up, so
you can "mini-view" the site in an instant.

it's got no chance!!!
