DC Gamer Club / Re: Sniper Elite for $2 on Steam

The game is simply awesome.

When you are done with the single player campaign (which is fun in itself), make sure you try multiplayer...

This game has a very dedicated community, considering it is a bit on the budget side and has not been updated by devs in any way. People are thinking creatively about adding more fun and challenge to the game, e.g. the "no cross" mode, when you cannot cross a player-agreed line (e.g. a river) and you have to lie in wait to snipe the opponents from afar.

Disclaimer: I have no idea how much such a project might take - if from the start you think it exceeds several hours, please disregard this...



I was looking for an image viewer that would work like this for some time on the Internet and still have not found it... Is it possible that nobody copied it just for fun?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, here is the famous scene:

Blade Runner Esper scene

I think the biggest challenge would be to implement voice recognition (i.e. use e.g. Windows SAPI, I don't expect anyone to code voice recognition in a few hours!) and to use it practically (grid overlay has to be applied, defining sectors etc.).

Naturally, this is pure eye-candy - no advantage over existing viewers whatsoever. Still, the wow factor for geek friends might be pretty big (especially when used with big TV or a projector!).

One note: some replacement shells disable the windows key anyway, so if you run e.g. Emerge Desktop there is not need to run KidsMenu as shell...

Yes, Polish characters can be input normally in FARR and return appropriate searches. Twitter displays normal Polish characters when input from the web and from a mobile phone app.

You will not be able to input them on non-Polish OSes with RightAlt-letter combination, unless you change the keyboard driver in the International settings (it's Polish (programmers')). You might try the Alt+ numpad digits option (described here, at the end of the page):

However, I am not sure if this will give Polish characters on non-Polish Windows. Try it out in Notepad first, FARR seems to capture some Alt+numpad combinations.

I have a problem with Polish characters... (ąęćźż etc.). They are rendered as French and Spanish letters...
