Scrap that last post.



I think I'm getting the hang of this. Watch out, HandCraftedRadio :D

A personal best  Sad



For some reason I totally suck at this in comparison to all of you Smiley Congrats, Benzido - this is a spectacular effort for a first game. You clearly have a knack for this!

I'll probably never leave Dublin Smiley Man, I love this city :D

Me too...  And yet I'm now moving into a place back in good ol' Baltimore City (Maryland, USA).  Though, I'd love to live in Dublin someday.

Lookin' for a roomie, Terry?  Wink

Well, you're certainly welcome to come visit :D

overpriced? in dublin?
but....that dosent make any sense?
does it not rain stout in Dublin?
when men cry, are their tears not thick, and black?

Meh - you could charge whatever you like for alcohol in this country, and people would buy it anyway Smiley

Ah, sorry, seem to have taken this off topic... You're thinking about San Francisco, then? Isn't there, like, a cataclysmic earthquake due any day?
1684  Player / General / Re: san fran on: August 01, 2007, 03:10:29 PM
STOUT!

... is ridiculously overpriced here, but I still love it Smiley

I only wish there was some sort of local game industry Sad Closest we have are those Max Payne physics guys, Havok.

If you fancy a change, you should think about Europe. There are loads of great places to live in this part of the world, and they're all fairly close together. I believe London's got quite a booming industry, for example.

"Hey, Unicorn... so, do you come here often?"

The Unicorn looks at you, perplexed.

"That's a really pretty horn, you know... But I guess you must hear that from all the guys, right?"

The Unicorn looks angry. I don't think this is working.

HCR is right - though I'd make it a little faster at the start - for me the slow introduction is the only thing that hurts it.

Hey man, nice game Smiley If it doesn't win, maybe you should change from the crisps theme and do something else with it? It's got a lot of potential, IMO!

Please don't call your game cheetopenis

Cheers, I'll check this libcurl thing out Grin I was sorta half-heartedly looking at SDL_net...
1693  Developer / Technical / Online scoreboards? on: July 27, 2007, 04:14:59 AM
I'm having trouble finding any information on how online scoreboards/downloadable content work, so I thought I'd ask here. Basically, I want my program to be able to check a certain txt file on my website to see the current list of custom levels available, and then download the relavent files if the user wants. Is there a C library available to do this sorta thing?

Actually, to be quite honest, I've never done any network programming at all, so I don't know where to start. Any pointers?
1694  Player / Games / Re: Dorito Game Contest Game on: July 25, 2007, 01:24:34 PM
Man, that is way more fun than I was expecting! :D Controlling the two hands is a bit awkward at first, but it works really well.
1695  Player / Games / Re: Homestarruner.com: Where's An Egg? on: July 21, 2007, 09:50:29 AM
Wha!  Thats unpossible!  I can't even get the bullet to hit anybody until 998 :I

Yeah... the counter definitely goes from 000 to 998 every time for me, how did you do that?

The delay seems to vary - sometime it goes straight off, other times it doesn't. I actually won the game at 000, but the next screen displayed 999 for some reason Sad

All I did was keep shooting the first person I could as fast I could, and reloaded until I got this result. It only took 5 or 6 turns, actually Smiley

@Retry (name change?): Thanks!  Honestly, IF could use its own separate feature... care to write one? Smiley

I'd love to - but honestly, chances are there's a better candidate for that job Smiley It's a huge topic, and while I know some of the big games, there are still loads of titles I haven't tried. Plus I don't really know anything about the history of IF besides playing a few Text Adventures on my old C64 (there's the whole Inform angle, years of competitions, books written about it, the whole academic side) - even writing an article highlighting four or five key authors (it would need Adam Cadre, Andrew Plotkin and Emily Short at a minimum) is a huge undertaking...

@Retry (name change?):

Just something I'm trying for a while Smiley The old handle had sorta lost its significance.

I'll see if I can help:

Interactive Fiction:
Photopia (indisputable)
Ramesses (A good intro to the medium's potential)
Galatea (fantastic, esp. from a designer's point of view)
Spider and Web (very popular, and very interesting)
Varicella (one of the best games ever made)

RPGs
A Blurred Line (the best indie rpg out there)
Diver Down (the second best)
If you can hunt down Lysander for an interview, I'll pretty much do anything you ask to repay you :D

It's going to be hard to write an introduction, rather than an exhaustive list. There are just so many great games out there!  Grin
