Lunatics Game..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

Hope every one (= no one :) ) is just fine..

Do u know Worms ? GunBang (or whatever its name is)? those games where u r controling small characters in a virtual 2D space... with lots of weapons.. trying to make other characters fill into water or lose health or whatever.. Lunatics is a new game of that type..

Long ago, Yasser (elder than me by 2 years) has sent a message to the ACM_ASCIS group saying that a friend of his (I don't remember exactly what he said) but he said that there is a new game being developed.. and that any one wanted to share.. contact some one called Hadi..

Anyway, I contacted him, he looks serious at first.. but by time, I realised he is not a good leader for such a project.. he is that kind of people having money.. (like most Gulf people)

Anyway, developers kept coming and leaving.. I was handed the networking stuff.. so I would start so late.. -didn't start till now actually :)-

Today, he contacted me telling me that he has 0 developers for now.. and last one handed him a weak game engine.. and asked me to handle the whole development issue..

I was somehow confused.. cuz of his previous actions.. I was afraid to wake up next day to find that he handed the issue to some one else.. so I started to tell him some rules..
- No developer will touch the code till I interview him and accept him..
- Not even Hadi will c the code till I accept to show him..
..
..
..
some tough rules.. but I had to... he didn't leave me a chance to deal friendly with him...

Now, I'm supposed to start on June-17th.. that is 3 days after our Holiday's start.. I'm thinking to publish that issue among a new OpenGl team that is still training.. mmm

I'm still thinking.. let's get back to one of those 10 projects..

BTW, here is Lunatics Game Project website.. Lunatics

c u soon..

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele

Visual Studio 2008 Not saving changes or project properties?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh (Peace upon you) I’ve recently ran into problems with VS 2008. Summarized here: When you try to edit the project properties (specially C++ projects) you are faced with a little nice message saying “Exception from HRESULT: 0xF9F0F308”. Sometimes when you are editing a file (specially large ones), VS doesn’t recognize you’ve made changes (ie doesn’t display that ‘*’ in the files tabs) hence, when you save, nothing actually gets saved. For those 2 problems, a friend explained the problem and a work around (till they officially release a fix)… Open up a Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt Run cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE" Make a backup copy of devenv.exe in case something does not work right. ie. copy devenv.exe devenv.exe.bak Run editbin /largeaddressaware:no devenv.exe Happy VSing… :)
