Re: 4x4x4 Challege - June 2021 - Head-to-Head Fruit Popper

Hah! Yeah, it's funny. Lotsa people have nostalgia for this particular case it seems. Myself included. My families old 386 PC in the early 90's was in a case like this one too, so when I set out to build this 486 PC here about 3-4 years ago, grabbing one of these cases was a must do for me.

Re: Daily Most Enjoyable Pixel Art Thread

I just need to say that this whole thread is probably THE primary reason that I remember to check this forum on a daily basis. :D

Re: 4x4x4 Challege - June 2021 - Head-to-Head Fruit Popper

Alright! My update for the past week! Finally! I've been working on pixeling. Probably the thing that I've been most worried about with this challenge has been artwork. Specifically because I willingly decided to make things harder by forcing myself to draw everything I need myself and also because ...

Re: Entity Component Systems

*Raises hand* Although, I guess I'm about 7-8 years behind the times on it ... not really sure that the present-day methods are and if they're too different from what I used to do. I used it in a couple projects that were never finished (plus one more that I never put up on github or anywhere else b...

4x4x4 Challege - June 2021 - Head-to-Head Fruit Popper

http://blarg.ca/files/fruitpopper/4x4x4-emojis.png This was the set of emojis I got after the fifth or sixth try (there was one before this with an Octopus and Car which I liked, but it had some sort of zodiac sign emoji that I had no clue what to do with, so I bailed on it). ******** GDR 4x4x4 Des...

Re: 4x4x4 Design Challenge

That, simply put, is awesome. There are times when I miss my DOS gamedev days. Yeah! I really miss the DOS days too. :D I was almost exclusively into QuickBASIC back then (actually the "QB-community" is how I originally found GDR back then) and somehow skipped over Pascal altogether. I on...

Re: 4x4x4 Design Challenge

Alright! That's it, no more lurking ... I'm going to participate in this! I love the idea of this challenge, and a month-long time period seems great to me. I haven't finished a game in eons, so finishing will be the real challenge. https://i.imgur.com/BRQKO2h.png My thought for these is "Head-...

lol, Is "Avasarala" your cat's name? I love it. Definitely my favourite character on The Expanse (does your cat swear as often as she does? :-P )

Re: Off topic - 2021 - Q1

Ahhh... but which time do you choose to stick to year-round? Standard Time, which most (all?) science says is better for our health. Or Daylight Savings Time, which people generally like better for the longer daylight in the evenings during summer. Great topic to start an argument with in my experie...

Re: Cool looking games

Ditto on Valheim. Apparently I've put in 26.8 hours over the last 3 days. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as I was also a big Minecraft fan. But this game has (in my opinion anyway) absolutely nailed the exploration stuff in a way that Minecraft never could, plus added more RPG-like elements. Which...
