DC can host your software.  Those false antivirus alerts are so painfully annoying (still have to figure out a way to solve that no matter where you host).

Find And Run Robot / Re: Is there really a new version 2.226.01?

« Last post by mouser on December 07, 2015, 05:13 AM »

Nothing to be alarmed about -- I just discovered that, despite releasing v2.226 in June, I had never made the update "official" according to the update checker -- so people weren't informed about it.  That sometimes happens when I release a minor update and I'm not sure if I'm going to release another one soon after.

So all I did yesterday was tell the updater about v2.226, so people who had not gotten it between June and December would be alerted about it.

Please try the latest beta version v1.46.01 that I've just uploaded.
The new Search and Replace function is on the Tools menu.

Please backup your files FIRST!!!
This function could easily mess up lots of paths if it malfunctions or you do something stupid

EDIT: Actually... I'm fairly confident I could hack these bugfixes into a trainer which modifies the program's memory. It could be run in conjunction with the original program, or does something like that have just as little legal ground as modifying the original source?

I can't comment on legal issues, I can only say that it sounds like a recipe for a lot of unfun fragile work, and you might enjoy more spending your time doing pure coding on a different project...

P.S. It would be nice to have some sort of View Your Posts link on the forums that would list all the threads the logged in user is participating in with a single click in order of most recent activity.

There is, just hover over (or click on) the "Go To.." menu.

You may be right -- it may be a good idea to make that option enabled by default.  anyone else think so (or not)?

i think the killswitch thing might make people quite uncomfortable.  especially for a new piece of software from an unknown author.. people get nervous about things that communicate to a server and do weird things, and they want control over their own computer.
the best thing you can do if you are modifying someone else's open source code is keep the source code available and let people use that -- and there doesnt seem any reason to put a kill switch in open source software..

Asudem, welcome to the site!

You seem like you have a great attitude about this issues -- and open source folks are lucky to have people like you interested in continuing the development of software they've started -- most will be thrilled with what you are proposing.

So, go for it and welcome to the site -- I look forward to hearing more about what you are working on

Having said that -- do keep in mind that donations are exceedingly rare these days and if getting donations is important to you, you are almost certain to be dissapointed.  But getting encouragement is certainly something we can help with here.

I've created a new area with WhiteTigX and Stoic Joker as moderators, and moved this thread into it (links to old thread redirect here).

Let me know if you want me to split this thread up into different threads.

My suggestion would be to start a new sticky thread for the latest download links.

Living Room / Re: Micro Reviews of Board Games From a Non-Competetive Perspective

« Last post by mouser on December 03, 2015, 11:50 AM »

Another quick micro-review for today, Tides of Time:


https://boardgamegee...me/176229/tides-time

This is another two-player-only card game -- but it's a tiny one -- only 18 cards TOTAL in the game.

If you've never played a game with a "card-drafting" mechanic, I can't think of a more wonderful condensed example than this.

It is a surprisingly rich/deep and thinky game, and at less than $10 this is a fantastic candidate for a stocking stuff.

Essentially, players take turns choosing a card from a set until they built up a collection of interacting cards which score different points based on each other.

Very cool unique micro-gaming experience.  The only caveat I would give is that it is about optimizing a numerical score based on interacting cards, and so you have to be able to get into that if you are going to enjoy it.

Here's Rodney from Watch It Played to teach you how to play (no one, but no one teaches better than Rodney):

Today's Micro-review is for the 2-player-only card game "Lost Cities":


https://boardgamegee...dgame/50/lost-cities

Lost Cities is highly recommended on board game geek as a fairly casual and easy-to-learn, but strategically rich, two-player card game.

I found the recommendations were well warranted.  We learned it during the first game and were excited to replay it immediately after.  Gameplay is simple and fast.  We were both quite intrigued by the strategic decisions during the game and felt compelled to talk about them afterwards -- always the sign of a good game.

Gameplay is simple and fast.  I would definitely recommend this to couples looking for a different kind of card game to add to their collection.

i agree this is desirable.
i have a memory of adding an option for this somewhere -- though the option is described as (update the date of clips that are pasted, or something like that).
