General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

There's also Watch the Pot from the CGC 2011. Quite possibly the worlds first tea boiling button masher.



The game file isn't in the archive yet, but I've just uploaded it to the queue here if you want to make a lovely hot cup of tea.

That's a fairly good guide on how I write my CSSCGC entries - except that it's the other way round. Start with the barmy old cack, write the game around it...

...or, more accurately, start with the barest bones of a game idea, write the barmy old cack, and then build the rest of the game around that. If you don't believe me... read the text file for this slab of marvellousness.

The mere mention of Two Gun Turtle and I have the opening tune in my head straight away...

Today, May 30 is apparently National Water A Flower Day, so Psst! would be the obvious choice while Ned's Garden could also be one?

Worst Things Happen at Sea used to really stress me out...!

I think I managed one trip successfully, but it felt like that 'Pirates of the Caribbean' scene where he steps off the mast of the sinking ship onto the dock...

Sabre Wulf is crammed with nature, if only Sabreman got a moment's respite to appreciate it.

There's Energy Warrior too. A cautionary vision of how Stockport's green belt could look in 2079 :o

Yesterday was World Refugee day so...

And today is the longest day of the year, so plenty of time for a text adventure I think...

There's a way for this, just put the complete address of the pic between [img] and (/img] instead of [url]

I've played that one. A nice uncomplicated management game ripe for a reboot.

Try this: if you go to the game page in the SC archive, right click on the screenshot and 'open in new tab'. Copy that URL, and that's the one to use.

And you can use [fimg=x,y][/img] to change the size.

Oh. That is how it is done. Thank you. And if you want to post screenshots/photo's/etc from your own computer/iphone? Do you need to use "add image to post" and then [fimg=x,y][/img] to get the right size and all?
