Hello World

     A late night start on the Newsletter, this week. I want to spend about 95% of my available time coding, tomorrow, with only a small chunk taken out of my day, having to do some shopping.
     Why are there no Star Trek style replicators, yet?

In the Shoutbox..
     Exams, Programmer's Notepad, Gigantic Links, Joe and more..

In the Mudchat..
     Sports
     News
     Sports News
     News about Sports
     and everyone appearing to get into iPhing development...
     ... What's that about, all of a sudden?

Last Week

     I forgot to post the Worklogs, this week, didn't I..
     dangit.
     There's been no odd controversies, this week either.

     um....

Comments

     Why are comments so rare, nowadays?
     Your projects get better when folk nudge you in the right direction... But when there's no nudging, there's no improvements.
     Get nudging, people!

Hobo's Corner

HoboBen's takes Cower's slot, this week.

Virtual Machine

     A few weeks back, HoboBen created a little Assembler, but noted that he had no machine to run the resulting code.
     This week, he's made the machine!
     A nice little virtual machine + compiler, all in one, that takes your assembly code, compiles it, and then runs it.
     Sure, it's not going to be playing Quake any time soon, (maybe!!) but it's one hell of an exciting project.
     Congrats to Hobo!
socoder.net/?showcase=23421

Lexini

     HoboBen's also created a nice Ini file parser, that can cope with loads of data types, and hop over any odd issues that might be in the way.
     It's written in Cobra, but the sourcecode is all there for the pickings.
     Why not try porting it to your favourite language, and posting it into the comments.

Moshboy's Abandonware

Abandoned Indie Games

True Abandonware..
Games that got left behind, midway through development!

#14 - R

A nice simple looking "Hi-Def" platform game. One of those where the chr's really small, the tiles are tiny, but the screen area is huge!
Lots and lots and lots of complex jumping!

#15 - Censura Plaga

Maze games don't get simpler than this. Get from Green to Red without dying!
Nice and grid based. Mmmm.. Grids!

#16 - Elloweener

Nice haloween themed shoot-em-up, with bazookas! Yeay!
Note, the video didn't want to play, for me, until I dropped the quality down to 240! Go figure..

Pixel Prospector's Games

Kaizen's kicking Indie butt!!

Magnakaron

Nice simple scrolling shooter game!
Not much to add, really, that's what it is!
bit.ly/PPGames_Magnakaron

Sand Castle

A nice Deflektor-ish puzzle game, with sand, gravity, and more!
Plays like a super-complex version of those generic sandbox type things.

Curly's Freeware

So much going on at Curly's, it's been hard to keep up with everything. Crazytime!!
Instead, just head on over, and you'll find a whole great big bunch of games, all crammed into the forum over the course of a couple of days, and all courtesy of their newest forum member, Moogle
