 Hi all, due to the ridiculous amount of spam (500+ per day) I've been receiving to accounts at 32bits, I've turned off catchall forwarding for mail. This means you won't be able to email me unless you know my specific private address. So, until the spam dies off a bit, please use the forums to contact me - either via private message or by public posting. Apologies for this, as it does mean all the "report a bug" email links in the tutorials will now return a non-deliverable report.

 | | News: Microsoft XNA (Windows and XBox) Beta |
|
 |
 NozDJ writes "'XNA Home Page'
I know there will be a lot of sceptics about this one, but I thought I would
announce it. Microsoft is just about to release in beta, 'XNA Studio Express'.
As from August 20th 2006 you will be able to download a free copy of this
framework and write Managed DirectX games that should be easily portable on a
retail XBox 360.
I realise that Managed DirectX code will never out perform or offer the power of native C++ code and ASM,
but the Microsoft vision of XNA is to bring back the good old days of bedroom
game development.
I seriously recommend checking it out, this tool also allows independent game
developers a chance to build games for platforms more affordably and quickly.
Here is a video of 'Game Fest 2006',
it certainly shows how Microsoft aims to try and change the face of the game
development industry. It would be
interesting to know peoples views on Managed DirectX and the introduction of the XNA
technologies and visions.

| | News: Brass - Magic Shiny Stuff for Windows |
|
|
| I'm please to announce the public release of the first version of Brass by your 32Bits team! Brass is a plugin-based Windows enhancement tool that can skin your taskbar and start button, display RSS news feeds on your desktop, output files in transparent floating windows and much more. The most amazing plugin is called Mime. Mime enables every single Windows application to receive mouse gestures, just like Firefox. Immediately after install it can enable gestures in MS Office, WinAmp, Internet Explorer, UltraEdit, FlashFXP and more. It can also do cross-application gestures, so you can make a gesture in Internet Explorer that starts and stops WinAmp playback! There's lots more information on the website, at http://www.amazingbrass.co.uk.

| | News: Forum issue solved! |
|
|
| Good news, the problem preventing posting or searching in the forums has been fixed. The issue was caused by our hosts upgrading PHP on the webserver, which broke some incompatible code in the forum software. Never fear, your intrepid 32Bits team hacked our own fix into the forum code. All working nicely again, come and post something!

|
|
|
|
|
| Just a quick news item to let everyone know I'm aware of the current problem with posting in the forum. I'm working on a solution, this news item will be updated as soon as I've got it fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience...

| | News: Configuration Change |
|
|
| Due to the increase in spam bots flooding the news item comment system with junk, I've deactivated the feature that allows anonymous users to post comments/replies to stories. If you want to post a comment you'll need to register an account - it takes a couple of minutes and lets you configure how the site appears, so it's worth doing. The forums will still accept anonymous posts for now, although this may change if they get spammed too.
