So who wants to nominate some freeware authors (not on DC!) who we should email a thank you to as our Cody Club task this week?

So.. have you completed this month's Cody Club tasks yet?

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Maze Craze - Fun 2D game by Wreckedcarzz
« Last post by mouser on February 07, 2007, 07:14 PM »
im actually a big fan of these kinds of games.

i do think the controls are painful though - i'd really like to see you get them working smoothly and make it more of an enjoyable experience.  right now it feels clunky and hard to change directions etc.  sometimes its like it's ignoring me.

the first page should have instructions about the fact you should move to 1 or 2 to select # of players and get rid of that flag on the first page - it's confusing!

NOW,
having said that - the idea of having a two-player game like this - where you can actually BLOCK the other player as you can in your game, has WONDERFUL possibilities and could make for some huge fun - i'd really like to see you pursue this aspect..

I would like to see you try some alternate smoother movement systems (maybe one with some gravity effects?)

I just remembered the cd ripping software i liked the most:
Easy CD-DA Extractor
http://www.poikosoft.com/

Maybe we can try to get a discount on the best shareware rippers once we get a consensus about the top ones.  Or maybe someone feels up to doing a big review comparing them all (free+shareware)?

While accurate, Exact Audio Copy can also be blazingly SLOW so that's probably not what you want.
Audiograbber is pretty fast.

thanks for the great woodbin.com find chris  :up:

Farmsteader thank you for that summary - that pretty much describes what i expected - paper and pencil are probably better for me.

Im going to be building a full wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling bookcase.  I have some books that describe the process and equipment and i plan to rent some power tools for a weekend since it seems wastefull to try to buy all this stuff for just one project.  Wish me luck!
