BigBangGames has just announced a new xbox live indie arcade game they’re working on. It is a 3rd person tower defence titled Dead on Arrival.

This game will feature a bunch of different kinds of enemies, several types of towers you can build to help defend your wall, and an entire medal system built in. Something no game has on the indie market right now.

I’ve spoken to the lead programmer at BBG and he’s told me there are still a few bugs to iron out, and a few features he’s yet to implement. He assures me the game is coming along really well.

Anyways enough blabber, head on over to BigBangGames to check out Dead on Arrival.

While playing around in class we found out you could do computer beeps with C#. It’s actually pretty easy, all you do is a simple Console.beep(int frequency, int length).

After some playing around we managed to come up with mary had a little lamb. It wasnt that hard because someone knew the actual notes for the tune, so we just googled note frequencies, and it was easy. The only hard part was coming up with the timing, which I still dont think is perfect, but whatever.

All I made was a simple form with 1 button that plays the song when you press it. I have included the entire source code (solution file) which also has an .exe file in the \bin\Debug folder. So if you dont have Microsoft Visual Studio, you still should be able to hear it

Any comments are appreciated, ENJOY!

I plan on taking some time this weekend (April 4-5) to work on some programming tutorials. This semester we have been learning a lot of C#, and Action Script 3.0. We are learning Java this semester as well, but the teacher sucks so we haven’t learned that much. Read the rest of this entry »

This C# game is called “Keyboarding Game”. It has 5 different words at the top of the window that when the start button is pressed, start to fall to the bottom. The text field is then enabled and the user has to type in the words before they hit the text field. After the word is completed, it gets placed to the top and the score gets incremented by 1. If a word hits the bottom, 1 gets subtracted from the score.

You need to have Visual Studio 2008 to open the file. Download the zip file here.

Well my exams are over with. I hope to spend some more time on this website as well as my new paintball website I created, Paintballer Tips. I have submitted all of the articles that are on the site to Ezine Articles so far, but no other sites just yet. I plan on submitting those articles to a bunch more article directories soon. It just takes sooo much time to do each article… its such a pain in the ass.

I hope to spend some more time improving Killer Blog. I know I’ve pretty much let the site go to the shitter.. I haven’t had any time to work on it, and I feel like I’m neglecting it. I plan on posting up some school work I’ve been doing. If you dont already know I’m enrolled in Game Programming at Humber College, so most of the stuff I’m going to be posting up is going to be programming code. We haven’t really made any games just yet, but hopefully soon enough.

I think I’m going to be releasing my own product soon. I’ve actually already written up the first draft of it, and I got someone to proof read it and fix any errors, so I just have to polish it up and package it up nicely. After that I have to write up a sales page to entice people to buy it The method is doing what I’ve been doing the past couple months to make money online. I don’t really want to give out any more info because it’s a hot topic right now, and I want to keep it for myself lol. I’ve actually been thinking about just keeping the method to myself and if I find something better, then release the eBook. Right now it’s working, so why would I give away how I do it?

Expect some more content from Killer Blog soon.

Below is the code to remake the rm command. I remade it so I could send everything i delete to a trashbin. It sends it to your home/.Trashbin. If the directory isnt there, it makes it for you. After that it tests to see if there are any arguments after the command, and if there are 0 it sends back a message. If there are arguments it continues. If the second argument is the -r flag then it send everything after the flag to the trashbin, no matter what. If there isnt the -r present then it only sends files to the trashbin, and if it finds out you tried to delete a directory, it sends back an error. This was made in a bourne-again shell.

Thanks!

Hey all, this is a guessing game I have written for my operating systems class. It was written for a bash (bourne again shell) unix operating system.

It uses a simple while loop with if loops nested in it to see if the guessed number is higher or lower than the random number.

#!/bin/sh
#gueessing game
biggest=50
guess=0
guesses=0
number=$(( $$ % $biggest ))
while [ $guess -ne $number ] ; do
echo -n "Guess? " ; read guess
if [ "$guess" -lt $number ] ; then
echo "... bigger!"
elif [ "$guess" -gt $number ] ; then
echo "... smaller!"
fi
guesses=$(( $guesses + 1 ))
done
echo "Right!! Guessed $number in $guesses guesses."
exit 0
