Title: Portable apps notable releases
Post by: Eeems on October 13, 2009, 06:54:43 pm
Well I'm a big portable apps user so I was really happy when they actually released a good game
http://portableapps.com/news/2009-10-13_-_assaultcube_portable_1.0.4
but of course it's not the best one, there is another more notable fps in development called nexuiz, and my own personal favourite Warzone 2100 (http://portableapps.com/node/19724)
which is still not fully released, but it is usable so far (not to mention it is an amazing game XD)

Also another notable release is Blender 3D portable (http://portableapps.com/news/2009-09-26_-_blender_portable_2.49b) now you can use your favourite (or my favourite at least) 3D development environment anywhere!

What's your favourite portable app? Discuss.

By portable do you mean no install needed and running from Flash drives? Cuz I doN't really use them much since I am out of school. However, I wonder if there's a portable Starcraft?

There's something called mini-starcraft which fits into even the regular CD-R[W] with 700 MB.
The battlenet works, but then i think it will probably be same as mine, where you can't even talk or join channel, unless you have your own CD-key... Or that's what i think.

well there is an install of a sorts, but you don't need admin privileges to do it, and they all are good for flash drives :D

In hi school I had 2 hours a week of computer access except during the second half of my graduation year where during noon time they decided to keep one of the computer room open everyday, so then I had 3 (altough it was a different room than the one I had class in)

yeah well I have:
-6 hours software (Excel, VB.net, ...)
-4 hours hardware (everything in yr PC and also OS-related stuff)
-2 hours economics ( we mostly don't need a PC for this, but off course, everybody logs in :p )
-1 typing (all features of Word and stuff)

so yeah, some things you have to do on your own, and assaultcube is a fun distraction when you're done :D

Lol! What OS do you have?
oh yeah and also, they just released Skype portable! Warzone is out as well
for all of you who dislike firefox (shame on you) they also released a portable version of Google Chrome

Was there a portable version of Opera 10 too?


Btw I don't mind Firefox, better compatibility than Opera in overall, but I don't like having to keep CTRL/ALT/DEL menu opens 100% of the time while browsing just cuz Firefox could crash every 5 minutes and I don't like having to wait 1 minute until Firefox even starts up at all, while I can start Opera in 5 seconds and the rest in 10 seconds max

Well, they do have a few ide's for any code language, you would have to convert it with spurcecoder after though...also, I'm sure somebody could make a portable development suite
