I think it would be a good idea to put a small area on the main page showing the latest topics... Would attract more people and make it easier for us to see if there are any new topis since the last visit. |

Hey Peter I can't download the Alpha 7 demo from the Talos Studios site... Good old 404 error. |

Cool!!!! You put it in the main page!!! (When did you do that? I only saw it today...!)
Indeed the transparent-rollover effect is really great! Also with the post preview...
Anyway thanks a lot! |

Hey, now look at that: I went to FilePlanet to download the setup and it made me remember that I already went there. Then I looked at my HD and found the installer!
(How come I downloaded the game and didn't install it???)
Hey i'm a marine now!  |

Of course. I pretty much liked DDCK, altough I can't seem to remember why I haven't downloaded it yet.
(In fact, everytime I access the Talos Studios page I think about downloading it but by some thing I always forget...)
And soon you'll be able to see my new (and first  ) game: A Tetris clone with some extras.
(Not quite the most original thing, but let me give a hint: it will be 3D...) |

I'm working on a few prototypes. Its a bit of a long process, since sometimes you can see the design in your head but once you start working on it often its not as good as you had hoped. Plus I also have to study for my finals, so please be patient =)

Yeah, I pretty much have a hand in a lot of things around the vb gaming community, or at least I did back in the day =)
So did you guys ever manage to take a look at Talos Studios? Alpha 7 is the game we've been working on for the past 2 years or so, but before that was DDCK, which was quite a hyped up project during its development from 2000-2001 (which in the end wasnt really a good thing, since on release it ended in some flaming upon release, but hey, I was like 15 when I started it) |

Oh got it. Hum, then I guess it's all up to Peter then.
(BTW, I didn't knew Peter was responsible by the layout)
But then why not put a "Topics" among the "Headlines", "Links", "Tutorials" ? |

The "Latest" refers to all the sections underneath, such as "Latest Headlines", "Latest Links", "Latest Tutorial." Putting the word "Latest" on each section would be repetivite, and it wouldn't fit either. Hopefully Peter will be inspired to create a new layout soon.  |

Hey, not to take this up again, but... The 'Latest' part on the left column of the site is completely empty, why not change it to 'Latest Topics' ? |

Okay, it's working now. |

Funny that is. The link works for me.
Maybe the thing is you, really... 
Oh and I will correct my last post, now I have seen the visible orthographic errors... |

Hum... finally this signature of yours will be useful for something!
Just joking... The two links are in the right panel anyways...
BTW if I knew your site had these tutorials I wouldn't have cracked my head to discover how to do box-box collision... I know sphere-sphere also but discovering sphere-box collision code has been a real pain.
(And I haven't discovered it yet!)
Oh, and why aren't these tutorials here at VBGamer? It would have saved a lot of my brain! |

Yeah, I have a lot of such tutorials at VoodooVB though, including ones one collision detection between rectangles, circles, and polygons, which even include utilities to even easily draw the collision areas. Check my signature for the link.

Well I guess then that you've just learned more than I...
I was thinking... maybe a tutorial on simple collision detection would be a good idea? |

Oh, I'm not really that good at math. I can take it and learn it, but I'm not anywhere close to brilliant at it. Kind of discouraging when some people in your class get 100s on all the tests and you get 70s lol. Then again I am a slacker =) |
