That's great stuff veign!  I can definitely see using that on dc, just have to think about where to put it and how, and give you a few weeks to make sure it doesnt destroy your server 

One suggestion:
most smf mods that have php scripts that add to a database table dont require that they be edited to provide password, but instead just include settings.php and make the call to an smf database access function, which i think makes sense.

for example:

Code: PHP [Select]

1. include_once ("../Settings.php");
2. $dbcon = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd);
3. mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error());
4. $result = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE `{$db_prefix}dc_blogentries` (itemid MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,PRIMARY KEY(itemid));");

Older Newsletters / Re: --> Newsletter for December 22nd, 2006 - Codename Software Snowflakes

I had an idea that I think would be great:

DonationCoder.com Best of the Web 2006
Featuring the best items from the last 24 DC newsletters of 2006.
It could be organized into lists like Top 10 Best Freeware Discoveries, Top 10 Best New Flash Games, Top 10 Cool Websites, Top 10 Best Blog Commentaries, Top 10 Funniest Stories, etc
(doesn't have to be Top 10, could just be The Best).
All items would be culled from the past newsletters.

I think the page should be some fancy nice thing which looks beautiful and can be immortalized forwever, maybe with some fancy rollover effects, etc.

And each item should have a single sentence or two, and a nice thumbnail image (maybe 160x120).

In other words, i want it to really look nice and be visually appealing, not plain text like our normal newsletters.

But this means some real work, selecting items, making images, designing web page..

AND it has to be done by Dec 26.

Does anyone have the skill and fortitude to volunteer for this?  It would be an amazing thing.

i encourage everyone entering to get feedback and suggestions before final judgement.

my suggestion about friction was relating to ship movement not rotation.  so you wouldnt keep drifting, just a bit.

as far as being able to choose options.. nah i think you should just set it.. though it might be interesting to have a series of levels where each level had different settings..

I took this to mean:

i.e. it should flash the windows control that will receive any typed characters.
