Pokino

Pokino!Inmiddels ben ik niet alléén meer verslaafd aan het spelletje. Ook mijn moeder is er erg blij mee en af en toe lukt het me zelfs mijn vrienden over te halen om het te spelen… Het gaat uiteraard over pokino. Ik heb de spelregels beschreven en de speelkaarten ingescand en online gezet. Kan je het zelf ook proberen.

Mocht er voldoende animo zijn, dat wil ik wel overwegen een workshop pokino spelen te geven. Dan kunnen geïntereseerde hun pokino kennis bijschaven onder begeleiding van een professional. 😉

Batch Utilities

The available batch programs are DOS based, and most of them will not work under any Windows-version. All available ZIP-files contain the executable and the C-source. A small description of the programs is available below.
The programs are intended to be used in batch files. Some are intended to be used in autoexec.bat.

Free – This program informs the user about the disk space available on a certain disk drive. Since this program is intended for older machines it will not recognize disks bigger than 2 Gigabytes.
Reboot – This program can be used to reboot your computer using a batch program, for example after changing the autoexec.bat file with a batch program.
Remline – This program removes a line from the screen, enabling a batch programmer to make good looking batch programs.
Sleep – This program suspends program execution for a number of (milli)seconds.
Timer – This program checks how long a certain program runs.
Today – This program prints the current day and/or time in a readable fashion.
Run – This program enables the user to run a number of programs in a batch form without needing a batch file.

Requirements
These batch programs require DOS to be the main operating system. A DOS shell within Windows or any other operating system might not work, or might give unpredictable results.

Installation
Simply download and unzip the file. All zip files include the executable program and the C source file.

Worms – The Ultimate Revenge

This is a cool little game in which you play a hungry little worm. It is the players job to feed the little worm with all kinds of goodies.

Here are a few screenshots to give you an impression of the game. This game is DOS based.

Worms!

Worms!

Each level (there are about 8 or so) has a different layout.
There are two players. One green and one red. In the top of the screen are the two players. Before the playername is the number of lives. Behind the playername is the current score. You can move the worm with the cursor keys. If the second player is the computer it will move automatically. If the second player is a human, then the keys to move the player are displayed before you start to play.

Installation
Simply download unzip the file. Then run ‘worms.exe’.

I made this game using C++.

StarCraft maps

Here you’ll find five well balanced StarCraft maps. Starcraft is a very cool game from Blizzard.

Slayers place
2 player map (slayers place)
Works with all versions of StarCraft.

This map is designed for two players or possibly four players playing in two teams. There is little room for mistakes here because you are near your enemy and there is not a lot of room for your buildings. Both players have access to two mining sites.
For the best result you should play against a human opponent.

Slayers place
3 player map (Three is a crowd)
Works with all versions of StarCraft.

This map is designed for three players. This is a map with a lot of space and cash. All players have access to two mining sites.
For the best result and the coolest game play you should play against human opponents.

Slayers place
4 player map (low on resources)
Works with all versions of StarCraft.

This four player map gives you very little resources. Every player is on a hill so the development of (expensive) air forces is required. This map should be played by either two or four human players.

Slayers place
4 player map
Works with all versions of StarCraft.

This map should be played by either two or four human players. You can also use this map to play against PC components.

Slayers place4 player Broodwar map (BattleDraft)
Works only if you have StarCraft Broodwar

This scenario includes a cool mission description and a real challenge if you use map settings. Great map for multi player games.

Pensioen

Vandaag heb ik het dan eindelijk gedaan. Mijn ouwe trouwe 10 jaar ouwe pc-tje is met pensioen. Na jaren van trouwe dienst trok de voeding het steeds minder en klapte de internet verbinding er steeds vaker uit. Op zich niet erg, maar lastig als het systeem ook als webserver gebruikt wordt.

Mijn nieuwe webserver is mijn laptopje, 4 keer zo snel, dubbel zoveel geheugen en 5 keer zoveel diskruimte, maar nog niet door de praktijk getest. Waar mijn ouwe pc comment spammers, Perzische hackers, viri en andere narigheid heeft overleeft moet dat nu allemaal nog maar blijken.
