And what do you think of it?

Also here's a quick little script to help you: http://julosoft.net/namecolor.php

Mine is green And oddly, it matches my CoT color. Fun.

Dunno if anyone does speedcoding here, but I did some today, I had to make some sort of tic-tac-toe game in 3D in a time limit of 3 hours (minus the theorical exam, so about 2h30). The game include self-made 3D models, music and sounds effects (credit to respectively DJ Omnimaga and myself), a background (again, credits to DJ Omnimaga) and some coding. Lacked time to do something more fancy though, but I think it's pretty fancy already. And pretty optimized. (I saw fancier though.)

Download link, includes source code with Visual Studio 2010 project and binary you'll find in some bin folder, requires 7-zip, .NET Framework 4 and XNA Framework 4.

Controls:
QWE       789
ASD  or  456 (numpad, make sure Num Lock is on) : Input
ZXC        123
F5: Restart
Mouse: Fancy rotation
Scroll: Zoom

So in my infinite boredness, I had the brillant idea to start a webcomic. This one works much like MS Paint Adventures, in which you submit the author commands (>This character: Do this), so it results in a collective RPGish story. I'll make pretty much all the frames in MikuMikuDance (MMD), a software made for making Vocaloid videoclips and will feature tons of characters, including Hatsune Miku. (Well, maybe not tons, but at least more than one.)

First panel is pretty simple, you just meet Hatsune Miku. You can use this thread to command her what to do. (I might expect her to explore her surroundings.)

Hello my dearest friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I'm afraid I have to step down as manager as well, making me the third manager to step down as of lately. But not exactly for the same reasons. Me and the other managers, Eeems, Netham45 and Deep Thought, came at the conclusion that I am not able to keep up with the job of manager, due to various reasons, so we decided to make me step down. I'll still remain Coder of Tomorrow and operator on IRC and my activity probably won't decrease.

Hope you are okay with this, hope I'll help as much as I can with the site and that maybe, one day, I'll come back...

May the force be with you,
Juju

So we're 14 working on the Dark Side of the Sun, but the problem is that we have no version or little control on the versions. Everything went fine until all the sub-teams merged together, everyone began working on the same files on a shared folder on Dropbox, so everyone kept overwriting each other and the result is some shit that doesn't even work and we had to rewrite stuff several times. In the end, we didn't even made any progress today. (I warned them about stairs version control!)

So I decided it was enough and use a version control system, despite what our teacher project manager told us about version control systems not being as part of the course. And it's here I ask you advice: which to use? Keep in mind it have to be compatible with Visual Studio, be simple to use (as I don't want to take more than 10 minutes to explain them to each of my colleagues) and don't need to take more than 5 minutes to configure (as the computers have Deep Freeze on them (except for a secondary drive) and we have to install and configure our stuff each time we have to open the computer). I thought about Git or TFS (we have TFS servers at school, dunno if we can use them), what do you think?

The Dark Side of the Sun: L'Attaque des Lucioles (Attack of the Fireflies in English) is an upcoming new 3D game for Windows and Xbox 360 (yes we'll probably put it for sale on the Xbox Marketplace) about spaceships shooting each other and trying to capture the enemy base. There's planets you can capture and put turrets on them, much like Tower Defence. Coming soon in March 2012! I'll tell you more soon as the game gets developed by the game studio I'm part of. (Actually it just my class acting exactly like a game studio. We are 15 to work on it and it's the goal to produce a game like it was produced by a real game studio. My college is awesome lol )

Also, do you want to have your song featured in the OST of game made professionnally? Look no further! I'm in charge of the soundtrack and I'm searching good and original songs to put in the game. It could be spacey, quiet and warriorish since the game (which you lost BTW ) is set in space, but it could be anything since I might implement a car radio in the spaceship. So your song must:

- Be original (made by you or your friend if he consents). You could make some obscure winks to other songs such as Never Gonna Give You Up somewhere in your song, though.
- Be submitted by email, PM or on this thread before March. (There's no set date, but I want them the fastest possible.)
- It can be already released somewhere before, as it can be unreleased before.
- By submitting your song, you give us the right to put it in the game and an eventual OST album (I don't guarantee it'll appear in the game and OST album for sure though. I might accept all the songs submitted or none of them).

And who knows, your song could be featured as the main theme of the game!

Today marks the second anniversary of the very first release of Axe Parser by Quigibo. Two years ago, on Feburary 1st, 2010, Quigibo posted on our forums Axe 0.0.1, a revolutionary new programming language for the TI-83+ series. This release didn't contained a lot of features, but still enough to compete with the already existing assembly libraries and the like. The program quickly gained popularity, becoming the most used language for the 83+/84+ and one of the hugest pillars of Omnimaga, probably even making the TI community double its activity. Axe even competes with TI-Basic and assembly, the two official languages that comes with the 83+, due to the easy learning curve with TI-Basic and the ASM-like powers of the language. Nowadays, Axe 1.1.1 comes with countless features making powerful ASM games to be written as easily as in TI-Basic.

We would like to thank Quigibo for his huge contribution to the calc community, without Axe, the community probably wouldn't be as active and interesting as now.

EDIT: Axe 1.1.2 Second Anniversary Edition is out, have fun using the new Axe Fusion feature!
