in fact, razor 1911 is still releasing both demos and warez. I don't know that they have any in the running for the scene awards, but they are getting ranked.

I don't have any problem managing handles on the web without feeling like I am out of my depth. Do you want an explanation of why this matters? https://github.com/blog/1103-ten-years-of-farbrausch-product... explains the farbrausch releas

having a low level understanding of program flow can help in many situations. If you are an extremely lucky programmer, you might be able to live your life only in high level languages, but most that I have met had to get down in the plumbi

this is an amazing hack. Well done for this guy, and his totally useless project.

you have to email them to remove yourself? Really? It seems like you could have some type of removal thing.

There are a few research systems that do exactly this, and I think that some of them may be coming to the market soon. http://www.modrobotics.com/ is the one that I could find quickish.

At my company we just ended up hiring someone, but for our past projects we worked with contractors (in fact, all but one of us was a contractor). There are tons of people out there that are dying to get more work in the indie game scene, a

I don't know about books, but there are some similar single chip computers out there. You may want to take a look at the beagleboard and the beaglebone. I think the difference in both of those is a slightly higher cost, and slightly less go

If the site doesn't have a helpful explanation, there is a blue lego piece with a question mark on it. I cant remember if there is anything else.

As far as I know, those "edge of space" low cost weather balloon experiments are a long way from putting something in orbit. The cost to put something in orbit is in the 1000s per pound range right ( http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.ht

The thing about 32k is that after taxes and overhead, it really isn't that much. That is 3 people working for 3 months. And the fact that this website didn't fall over when half a million people hit it means that they were doing something r

I think that when you write for yourself for that many years, you generate a really strong character. If there is an agency involved, then they have really good writers that understand how to write for his voice, which is in itself a huge c

A small point, but something that is really nice. At the end of the form where you enter your email address, the sign up to his mailing list is checked no by default. I switched it to yes partially because of that.

Comedy is in the ear of the beholder. I have had far more meaningful laughs (whatever the heck that means) at WTF then at comedy bang bang. I would say download both of them, they are totally different things.

Optical Flow is a method for determining the movement between two or more frames of video. This data is then used for morphing the frames into one another, or moving the underlying vertexes of the textures from one position to the next.

The last time I was working on one of these, I discovered the phrase http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_tarpit Not that these are all a waste of time or anything, you just need to remember not to take them too far.

I feel like you didn't read my comment. You can share by copying and pasting your code to a pastebin. Does that not apply?

this app also brought out some other options, check out paragraf where you can write glsl pixel code. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paragraf/id422685475?mt=8 It is the complete opposite in terms of ease of use, but it is still executing

yeah, it is quite a bit roundabout, and it gets tricky when you start organizing your code into separate files. But it is way easier than retyping. That might be a downside for eduction, but I don't think it is a terrible tradeoff compared

yeah, thanks for the response. I was not aware of moai, but it looks brilliant. I also love the fact that it is open source. That is the main reason that I am rolling my own rather that using corona. Corona's lack of support for extending t

also, it wasn't really scratch that they didn't approve, it was a scratch player. The player downloaded and played scratch programs from the website. This continues to be something that is not allowed. I would like to see apple reverse this

you might want to take a look at stencyl as well, it isn't for ipad, but it is a pretty fully featured game dev tool that uses the scratch style programming.

yes yes, a thousand times yes. There is some serious misinformation in this thread though. Apple has allow interpreters on the phone for a while, and the remaining restriction is that you can't download code or bring code in through the app

I have been in the workforce for several years now and I find that I need to constantly be refreshing my math. A big chunk of math reeduction came when I moved from doing web development to doing games development, and I find that now that

yeah, I am having this issue as well. I wouldn't call my engine the most solid thing in the world, and I set out with the expressed intent of writing my game as much in lua as possible. I have resorted to having a lua repl that can execute

This is super interesting. Did you know of anyone else that set up these types of family trusts, or was it just your dad and his brothers? Did you do anything to make it legally binding, and how long have you been doing it for? Has it pushe

or even better, have some type of in song currency that is used to purchase the new songs, that can be acquired either through sending the old songs to your friends, playing the old songs well, or just outright buying the in game currency.

I was one of the people that was wondering about the slash fic that was showing up on popular. Quite truthfully I don't mind it, as the popular lists on bookmarking sites are dominated by so much link bait as to be unusable.
