Hi all! I guess that from the picture on the left, you know that this time I will be reviewing a program call Game maker... clever reader :D Description of the program quoted from yoyo.com Have you ever wanted to be able to design computer games, but didn't want to spend countless hours learning how to become a programmer? Then you've come to the right place. Game Maker is a program that allows you to make exciting computer games, without the need to write a single line of code. Making games with Game Maker is a lot of fun. Using easy to learn drag-and-drop actions, you can create professional looking games within very little time. You can make games with backgrounds, animated graphics, music and sound effects, and even 3d games! And when you've become more experienced, there is a built-in programming language, which gives you the full flexibility of creating games with Game Maker.

Hi all, I had just finish a batch file which will search for certain string in a file then count the number of lines with the string. Its great for searching through logfile. Points to take note: Remember to put Logfile.txt and countData.bat in the same folder. %1 is actually the value that the user can pass in. Logfile.txt is the file that you are searching in. There is 2 ways to get the batch file to work. One is type countData.bat "stringThatYouWantToSearch" in the command prompt. Second is create another batch file and type countData.bat "stringThatYouWantToSearch" in that batch file. Then double click on it to run it. Click Here for the Code with Megaupload or just copy the code below and paste it into a text file and rename it into countData.bat del sorted01.txt del count.txt type Logfile.txt| findstr /I/C:%1 >> sorted01.txt find /v /c "hahaharandomword" sorted01.txt >> count.txt echo -----------------------------

I'm getting my RTS tutorial from http://www.youtube.com/user/fancypenguins#p/a

Review of Nation by Terry Pattchett Short review - It must be one of the best book I had read so far! Emotional, smart, funny, romanic and so very brilliant! Must read! 5/5 Longer review The Nation started off with Mau the 15 years old boy who had gone to the boy island to leave his boy soul behind and return to his Nation to receive his Man soul. Most culture have some sort of coming of age ritual in which the boy became a boy, and in Singapore we call this ritual “National Service” in which boys who was over 18 years old must serve under the army for 2 years and so I can understand what it is like to be like Mau, who had to prove himself by performing this ritual. And like most boys, we are afraid of this ritual as we are unsure of what to do and when to do it. Unlike most boys who are able to return home after their ritual, Mua’s island was strike by a huge tsunami wave that had engulfed his own island. The stage is set for Mua to survive and somehow find meaning to continue

Hi all, Its time for another random update! Yes! Actually I was told to install red hat and setup the boot loader in my lab. So I decided to write a simple script that will do configure the boot loader. Here is my script if you are interested #!/bin/bash rm /boot/grub/grub.conf cp /media/TOSHIBA/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf rm /root/Desktop/file2.sh reboot And here is my grub.conf file # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz showmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-128.el5PAE) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/ rh

Its time for another update and this one is extremely huge! We human had created synthetic life form (well actually Craig Venter and his team did)! I’m not a bio student nor do I actually know anything about life science so i will keep this short. Life now can be created from chemical and no magical being or power is needed. This will lead to a lot of religion problem. I can foresee that religion group that need God to create life will try to ban this science and Crag Venter might actually receive dead threat as a result of this. Lets all hope the best for Crag team as they are indeed the light of humanity need. Source from Click here to see the guardian news source

Well its time for another product opinion! Yup since I don't actually own this over price piece of high tech rubbish I cant really give a full review but this wont stop me from making causal remark about how overprice and useless this it. Mac Mini looks Height: 3.6 cm Width: 19.7 cm Depth: 19.7 cm Weight: 1.37 kg As expected from Apple, this product is a beauty; it is just 3.6cm deep and its aluminum shell which give it a clean and simple feel. Mac Mini specs 2.4GHz or 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo chip Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics 2GB DDR3 RAM (can support up to 8GB) You will notice that there is an increase of processing power, a better graphic card and more RAM then the last Mac Mini product. While this is certainly welcome but it also come with a higher price tag; S$1088! Considering that most normal people get this product for web surfing or watching video (not editing), this price tag is way too high. Sure the new HDMI port(not available on the previous version

Well, the Nintendo had just announce that they will be releasing the Nintendo 3D! This will be the new hand held game system that will be making use of stereoscopic technology and give the gamer the 3D experience without the use of any external devices like those 3D glasses. Catch the latest news on Google! Just type Nintendo 3DS' Specs and do a search. A lot of web page have a lot cover on the specs and shown photo of it on their web page so I won’t go into detail regarding those aspects. Since the game system has not being release, I cannot really do a review on it, but as a gamer for at least 10 years, I can do a prediction! I can tell you that no 3D devices have being very successful, example: the Virtual Boy Games The problem with 3D gaming system is that it is very hard to make use of the 3D property into any gaming. Imagine that you are a game developer, how can you make use of the 3D property of the new Nintendo 3Ds and produce a game that no other game system is ab

As an experience hunter, HR43 Andrea, I am able to sniff out noobs rather easily. Often noobs have the below "special characteristic" Special characteristic Noob Battle Cry : "1hkos" ?? (After getting killed by monsters) Noob Battle Cry :  "traps!!" but non from them. Noobs don’t bring potions Noobs don’t bring no traps supplied Noobs use wrong weapons type against monster Noobs attack monster even when Noob’s health bar is 20% or lesser Noobs have equipments with no skills or little skills Noobs leave straight after they get the team to lose Noob with High HR A high HR player does not means they are pro, but since they have better armors they are a bit harder to die, that’s is for sure but you can still expect shits gameplay from them. Example 1: a monster is trap, and everyone is hitting it, they do an a

Hi all,  Its time for another review! Well, this is not really a review but a collection of news that I had source out from the Google. Hope this will help anyone that is buying from Sim Lim Square .

During my last post about monster hunter tri online play, I had mention about what items to bring so that you would not be call a noob, and also how to use the traps to further prove that you are no noobie. Now in this part two, I will talk about armors. I know that armors are relatively easy to understand. You put on armor and charge at the monster! But there is more to armor in Monster Hunter Tri then meets the eyes. One way to tell the noobs from pro is to see their armor skills. Most noobs have either no skill active or only 1 skill. In this case I will suggest that you change room to avoid the noob as the moron will most likely die a lot in your matches. List of armor skills http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MH3:_Armor_Skill_Points What is armor skill? Each armor have certain skill points, if you look under equipment, you will notice that each pieces have some skills and a positive or a negative value attach to those skills. When you wear armors that have the same sk

OK! Here are my tips for Monster Hunter Tri! How to be less Noob in few simple steps! If you follow this few steps I had listed below, you will most likely survive or win a quest without being called noob! Important Items to bring Max Potions Traps BBQ meat And most importantly bring potions and mega potions! (noobs do not bring potions!) How to use traps Some monsters got spots that they like to land on, would not hurt you to place a trap there. If you got a gunner in your team, place one in front of your gunner. Most likely the monsters will aim your gunner and your gunner will be grateful to you. Use it when the monster start to drools, this will increase the time the monster will stay in the trap Use it when before the monster turn rage. In rage mode, the time the monster will stay in the trap will be reduce. When not to use trap When the monster in rage mode. Repeated use of trap will reduce the time the monster stay in the traps. That it for this post!

Hi all, I decided to paste my code for autoHotKey codes here. its not very clean nor isit effective but i just like the IfWinNotExist function and also IfWinExist function. not to mention the abilities to run loop is simply great. well if you can understand then great for you, not then you might have to touch up on your autohotkey programming :) Click here to view my codes

Ok! Its time for another software review! And this time it would be AutoHotKey! Imagine this, you got 1000 PC to manage, and each of those PC will require you to install some programs at one go, which will normally take up to around 3 hour or more. So what do you do? Sit there and wait for the program to finish? Of course not! You use a marco program! For me I manage to source out this great program call AutoHotKey! I had used it to create a marco type of program that will auto install the require software for me in all my lab PC.

I just remember something that I wanted to do for quite a long time... To paste my vb6 code on my blog! So my last project, I was asked to code some email sending program. Sound simple enough, and I was able to finish it but I still need to have some kind of validation codes for emails. I manage to find a few but none was enough for my program to run on so I decided to copy and paste from a few different sources and add in my code. I’m not going to paste the whole code here but only the email validation part. Click here if you are interested in VB6 email validation.

hi all, this is my game review for Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. kinda of late since the hype is over but why not? I would give this game a 2/5 , 2 for being a playable game... well when their server is running ok and you actually have an internet connection. 1.0 Title, creator, year, intended audience, genre The game that I’m going to review is Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. It is a real time Strategy video game that is part of the popular Command and Conquer franchise. It was released on 16 March 2010. Due to the falling number of players who play RTS, EA had decided to totally redo the command and conquer 4 core mechanics and gave it a new set of rules. This is intended so that players who are not hard core fans or those are new to RTS can still get to enjoy Command and Conquer 4 without much instruction or experience. I would say that the genre for command and conquer 4 is no longer just RTS, but it is a mix of action, RTS and RPG. 2.0 Description o
