it's out, and as a humble bundle, no less (meaning other games and kooky are included as well!) https://www.humblebundle.com/

maybe it doesn't like names that start with lower case? try changing it to a Z

there isn't any built in menu function for axe, so yes, you'd have to write your own or use sir's

i just tried it out, and it looks wonderful =D. i like how it uses steady 3/4 colour grey rather than emulating the gross 83/4 screens, too. additional functionality would be pretty fantastic. * shmibs imagines a nice alternative for writing quick games. it probably wouldn't be very popular outside of the community, though, what with the contrast between axe and most popular languages.

 so it's untagged urls with two or more spaces following them that makes things disappear? * shmibs tests: http://ourl.ca/15880/297605 like this?

Amanita Design's new point-and-click game, Botanicula, is set to come out tomorrow!  i'd definitely recommend this, and, if you've somehow managed to never have heard about it before, their previous game Machinarium as well. everything these guys put out, from games and movies to music and web comics, is a work of art, and Botanicula looks to be no exception. expect beautiful colours, incredibly cute characters, challenging puzzles, and plenty of jokes. =D [ Invalid YouTube link ]

do you mean fancy pants adventures from last summer's contest, or did he make something else, too?

in previous CoT hiring sessions, some requirements were laid out for potential applicants, like these: -Have 100 posts
-Have been active posting for at least one month
-Have a good forum/IRC behaviour during that period
-Be involved in at least one of the following:
*TI or Casio game programming
*TI or Casio game development tools (on calc or on the computer)
-Have a project under development (screenshots or topic needed).
-The language used to program games and tools doesn't matter. this is a good list to look at, but whether or not you are made a part of the team is still up to the team itself. if you think you qualify, just send a PM explaining why to anyone on this list: Managers -Qwerty.55 -Shmibs -Deep Thought -Eeems* -Netham45* we'll talk it over with everybody and then get back to you =)

/\line runner, perhaps? this does look interesting, but i'm somewhat doubtful of how useful it would be in an actual learning environment, as these concepts are easily taught without physics simulations, and, if the instructor thinks they are needed, most schools have computers where the students could run freeware that does a much better job.

you'd have to have some way of dynamically updating all the separate sectors, that contain a certain block, so not realistically, no. like i said: this is probably just going to be me ranting, and not be of any actual use

there is internet access, but i was blocked from omnimaga.
my father has a router-based proxy to filter out anything he doesn't like.
EDIT: that, and i was out of town for pretty much all of december on a family trip.

i'm going to be commuting a lot this upcoming year, between school/my parents' house/other places, and need to access the internet from wherever i am at the time, so a laptop is pretty essential, and the most intensive game it would ever run is probably minecraft, so that's not a huge issue.

* shmibs can't wait to see what new stuff is in these screenshots. by the way, the formal term for displaying only visible polygons is occlusion culling, which might be helpful in finding relevant articles. also, a method you could use is pre-determining what polygons are visible from certain sectors in a map and storing that in along with the map data, rather than trying to calculate it in real time. that wouldn't be much help for dynamic terrain, though... edit: this is probably just going to be me ranting, and not be of any actual use, but i had an idea while walking home just now that would be perfect for a 'closed rooms and corridors' shooter like doom. instead of storing the map data in a giant 3d grid, it could be stored in sectors, each sector with its own map of polygons that are to be drawn while the player is within it. por ejemplo: if you had a 2d map for a raycaster, instead of using the conventional method, it could be broken up into sectors, like so:  and then each sector would be stored separately and consist of all the blocks that are potentially visible from within its X,Y region of the total map. here are sectors 1-3:    as you can see, some sectors can be a lot larger than others. however, it would be easy to minimise such areas when designing the maps by making sectors room-sized, and things like that. additionally, all the white space would make compression pretty easy =)

Clue, my current computron that i got from a friend after she had used it for three years, has taken a lot of abuse and served me well over the past year and a half. however, what with the optical drive having failed (and constantly resetting itself with an annoying buzzing sound ) and the hard drive just ceasing to be detected once every few weeks or so, making me live boot to mount it again and fix errors, i think it's finally time for something new. for Clewtew, i've been looking at getting system76's pangolin model, on a matter of principal . however, before making any rash decisions, i wanted to see if you guys had any drastically better suggestions. the most intensive stuff this will be doing is compiling code, so mega fancy graphics cards aren't a necessity. thanks =)

/\this sounds like good advice to me as well. what is the graphical problem, exactly? * shmibs is curious
