Unforuntately Java has entirely too much overhead for real-time graphic use (as I found out while trying to learn Java, and make a game at the same time). I'd be interested to see how long it takes before someone pulls the slack and creates a spin off of Java that just compiles the program to...

I've been waiting for Blitz Research to come out with an update so I can keep milling on and finish up my FreeCountry map maker and RPGui programs ... so I got bored in the last three days and made a color-based Sudoku variant. I call it Chromadoku, and I'm in talks to have it published, so wish...

That's a pretty good method :) I also thought about sending my old password through a random seed generator and using a combination of the number and the text password. That way my password would be pretty easy to generate using just text as a reference, running it through my scrambler program...

If I did that, there's no chance I'd remember any of them. On the other hand, I require access to many ... many websites on a daily-weekly basis, and typing in a separate password for each one would make for a much longer day. I do have the option of using FireFox to store them, but FireFox...

I got an e-mail today requesting that I check the suspension of my account and to go to the site and login and find out why I was randomly suspended. The red flag went up immediately. I haven't used my eBay account in two years. I never go to websites through an e-mail especially if they require...

It would be amazingly funny if Benry wasn't lying when he said he wasn't a badguy, but Juliet certainly seems like the clever type herself. I think that Juliet wants command, and she was just waiting for Benry to be caught off-guard by a situation. Maybe it's her way of payback for Benry...

Congrats, and this has to be the funniest baby announcement I've ever read. Awesome work, on the kid and the post :) -Tyler

Got another one up. I guess this will become a large, themed pack.

Selling it as a digital model. I meant to specify that it's the computer game creators that I've had this one aimed for. Though, it's not a bad idea to try to do the latter ... Thanks Meloncov!

Yup :) It's already up for sale, lol. Thanks!

Hey everyone, crits welcome but this is the final product. I'll be selling this to indi game dev communities so they can prototype without having to worry about the game looking like programmer art everywhere you look. The one 1024x1024 png texture is made from several hand-panited textures (all...

Thanks for the tip :D Right now I'm trying to pass some time by learning Windows API programming. I can't make a truely cross-platform program without an update to the compiler/engine I was using, so I'm going to see how quickly I can outpace them with a Windows version programmed in c++, then...

The game you described reminds me of "Dungeon Hack" ... one of most favorite of older DnD games. Randomly seeded dungeons (that I never survived through all the way to the bottom, so it might as well be bottomless), increasingly difficult as you go down, even a pretty good difficulty range to...

It's just a clever ruse?

Genious :D Gamers/DMs never cease to amaze me with their ability to gush creative talent at will.

If nothing else, this post was worth making for the Rel/Dimwhit battle of wits laced throughout.

Windows being effected by virus after virus is a penalty of that freedom we enjoy. Same with the unwitting people who easily send their computers to an unusable state too often to count (and far more quickly than I could ever give them credit ... namely, my parents). That's why I proposed a...

I have a fremale friend who had a Mac laptop. It worked well for a year and a half, then the cd-drive failed on it, and a month later the system as a whole failed (blinky question mark upon startup). There was no way around it without using a CD. The CD-ROM was busted. She now had a...

If I can get a hold of a Linux machine to compile on, I'll have a free mapping softare available within a few weeks (calling it FreeCountry :)). I'm working on this as a precursor to my RPGui program, and I've got some functionality on PCs and on Macs so far, so hopefully I can get a chance to...

I had a three-button mouse on my Macs where I worked. Much easier to get around the OS with a multi-button mouse. Get Firefox, abandon I.E. (I say this, having not tried I.E. 7, so we'll see how that changes things, if it does at all) Even when it comes to web design, I always have to do extra...
