There is also this: https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies Similar project for replacing the old dependency walker tool

Another alternative is parsec: https://parsec.tv/ Comes with an amazon AMI to quickly get started on AWS. The team behind it strive for low-latency, and has support for controllers + multiple clients connecting to a single host to allow "local multiplayer" online

Something similar does exist: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html

It detects places in songs where the sound is similar, and can jump between these places in the track to make a seamless unending song.

Alternatively, you can now rent a blockbuster film using money you have made while playing games. Trading cards, skin drops, crates/cases etc can all be acquired without putting money into the system but can be sold for credit on the steam marketplace.

Personally, I have used profits from selling trading cards and unwanted tf2 weapons to buy games, why not rent films?

"When groups of figures are spelled out, the chance of an error in transmission is reduced to a minimum."

I guess its easier for the receiving operator to detect the error in "One Thosand" compared to "100" when coming over in serial (Original message being "One Thousand" and "1000" respectively).

"A marking pen was also included to help make personal indicators on the map if needed."

It's disappointing that modern technology no longer supports being annotated with a marker pen.

I think this could be abused horribly, the campaign and payment information appearing inline with facebook content may make a fraudulent page appear far more legitimate than they are.

Maybe this is the limit of the amount of data that can be hidden/interleaved into the cartridge image

Rectangle, not possible to make a square. (Count the area and try and find integer width & height that fits)

GUI-based editors/viewers should be your next goal if your want to capture non-programmer users. People who don't program are far less likely to be comfortable poking around in text files and matching numbers to pictures etc.

Seems like a nice engine though, I'll have a proper look later

Similar concept but for youtube: http://www.petittube.com/

Does this mean the phone needs to be a smartphone with WhatsApp installed? Or can a brickphone be used with this sim in order to communicate on WhatsApp?

Some more tests of the algorithm with less impressive results (though still good looking)

Slightly off topic, but I really like their icons on their front page. Very reminiscent of the vault boy icons in the newer fallout games.

Really impressive animation generation using just a handful of keyframes and clever use of interpolation.

It's all in the game

I kind of agree with the article, I did the Edinburgh course on Compiling Techniques and I remember the first coursework being using antler and convert something like tinyc to AST (or at least a very small subset of c). Most of this was just fiddling around with the grammar file until the output seemed sensible. The second part was writing an AST -> jvm bytecode compiler. Going back to front may have been better, because we would have had more time for the 'hard' part (being during the quieter first half of the semester) as well as giving us a better understanding of how the AST should look, as we would have had to write/modify examples of the AST in order to get the backend working properly.

I'm more interesting in the fact that he is showing Halo 2 running on (what I'm guessing) is the microsoft surface. It seems like a strange choice to choose a game that is almost 10 years old unless he is hinting that Halo 2 Anniversary is also coming to PC?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_reporting Diff: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Circular_reporting...

The article links to a wikipedia article about the circular reporting phenomenon, and I'm pleased to see that someone has added "vicious aardvark" as another name for circular reporting.

Brilliant.

Very interesting, but this raises a point in my mind. If a colonisation trip takes several generations to reach its destination, would the human rights of the descendants of the original travellers be infringed?

They would be conceived, born, live out their lives and die without ever living anywhere but the ship (unless they are part of a generation lucky enough to reach the destination), and they would have no choice in the matter.

There is a (First person, 3D) game, Antichamber, that has some elements of this. The room/corridor around you can change by looking, such as:

Walk up to dead end. Turn around. Corridor is no longer there, a dead end instead. Turn around again. There is now a brand new corridor in fron of you. (These changes never visibly happen, but happen when they are out of view)

Another (more maze like) example can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4JxhiNz8ec

(first video I found, there a probably better examples)

Article says it is accurate within 1 foot, which really isn't accurate enough if you are generating floor plans for rooms.
