iOS7 Thoughts

12th August 2013

I’ve never used iOS. Last time I used a Mac it actually was a Mac. Somewhere around 1993.

Still using Blitz

9th August 2013

I bought Max and never used it once due to an extreme dearth of documentation.
Monkey is definitely more fiddly than Blitz, but has decent documentation. There's a beginner's book, too, though it's probably going to have invalid sections due to changes in*snip*

Platform Game Engine Lecture

4th August 2013

I can't read code at all. Even when I am quite familiar with the language.
I mean, I can read it, but I can't get any meaning from it - I can't decipher what the task it is accomplishing is.

Hoppy Bobby Sequel Planning..

19th July 2013

With vines, where you land on them makes the difference in how you continue. The top of the vine enables you to land on higher-up platforms, but doesn't shift left to right. The bottom of the vine shifts left-to-right quite a bit, but allows little in the *snip*

Perhaps Jungle King/Hunt style vines to break up the jumping style?

Make some of the circles that the platforms follow move. Like up and down. Or along a different circle!

Farewell Altavista

30th June 2013

Altavista was gone when Yahoo! acquired it. They made it utterly useless.

I'll stick with a retail unit that has the niggly bits worked out.

Programming for the OUYA?

23rd June 2013

I may get a GameStick on a whim in the future if available, but UK hardware tends to sit over in the UK.
I don't think GameStick supports external drives and such, does it? I'd think if it did it would be hard to set it up in a way that wasn't tugging the*snip*

Programming for the OUYA?

23rd June 2013

OUYA is just Android. You can sideload stock Android games to it and they'll run just fine. It's only integrating the controller (which...isn't that part of later versions of Android already? I'm stuck on 2.1 or 2.3 so I don't really know for sure) and int*snip*

Hoppy Bobby iOS

22nd June 2013

Got a workmate hooked on Hoppy Bobby (Android) and then Spike Dislike 2 (Android), which he purchased for himself.
Got another workmate hooked on Spike Dislike 2, but when I told her it wasn't free, she (iOS) just sneered, "Well, that's stupid!" Yet she's*snip*

Odd. HTML5 generally seems to be the loser in graphics functionality problems.

"New" OpenGL

10th June 2013

Why should MMO be some sort of ultimate goal? It's just a style of game, it's not intrinsically better. I don't even care for that style of game, myself.

Managing Music

5th June 2013

Yep, my music is organized by filename and folder. I really despise faffing about with trying to add/correct tags every time I get new music...or re-doing the tags so the player I'm using brings everything up in a way that makes sense to me. Besides, I've *snip*

Modify that to:
Basically, if you want [the maximum amount of] security, you have to use a password that is without known patterns and is more or less random garbage.
Whether the maximum amount of security is more useful in the real world or not is debat*snip*

Undo Didn't Do

3rd June 2013

I once had a second, out-of-focus instance of Explorer up for my folder of ripped movies. I was in the other, in-focus instance of Explorer in some other folder and selected a few things for deletion. I pressed Delete...

Who's Next?

Actually, I'd like to see less of him saving the Earth, the Universe, Reality, and Time Itself while surrounded by a cast of familiar characters conveniently all turning up; and some more old-school storylines where he shows up somewhere random and helps s*snip*

Isn't the solution to make as few objects as possible, but display multiple instances of those objects? Not exactly sure how that is accomplished with the Monkey command set, but...

Consumer Lockout

23rd May 2013

Fact sourced from Microsoft themselves: Less than half of all X360's purchased have EVER been online.
Fact #2: XbONE is required to be online.
Conclusion: Microsoft intend to sell less than half as many XbONE as X360.
Apparently, they are in the busines*snip*

Screen Burn of the Mind

19th May 2013

I agree that the constant narcissistic "social" yammering is bad, but people were doing that before Facebook. Not as many, to be sure, but we all knew of someone who was on their cellular phone seemingly 24/7 blathering emptiness to the other end.

Teaching To Code

12th May 2013

[quote]On another note, I could mention that learning how to program without at least a basic knowledge of how to configure your selected environment (let alone installing it...) is like learning to ski without first learning how to tie your laces![/quote]*snip*

Teaching To Code

12th May 2013

I disagree entirely, Afr0. Setting up a coding environment and learning to code are two entirely separate things.
I still can't set up a coding environment for beans, but once I'm in one and know which widgets to jiggle, I can code without issue.
