Linky by any chance? I'm thinking of getting ZooKeeper and I'd be interested in that POV.

One of the main points we talked about was the randomness and how it works in this game. I was wondering if there's a way to avoid "no more move" and other stiffy situations with planning and strategy and if there's always a reasonable amount of solutions in every grid - there wasn't - which makes it a bit too unconsistent for some players after a while. Keep in mind, it only really affects your enjoyment when you aim to, or are near, the top of the high score lists around the net. Some people don't mind / or pay attention to it at all, better find out for yourself.

So he's finally gone. Inevitable, in many ways.

Don't see the need for the vindictive postscript though, and PRIVATE messages should stay just that - private.

Please excuse my ignorance but I'd welcome an honest answer to this.

If I saw a game in a shop, say for example Oblivion but couldnt afford to buy it but thought I'll just program my own version from the ground up adding my own characters and graphics.

Would I be infringing ayone's rights bearing in mind I never copied any code but just the basis / idea for my own game?

If I wasnt, would there be anything to stop me making this available for free online?

Stu's review's spot-on there, too.

Marius · Post by **Marius** » Wed Aug 23, 2006 1:40 pm 0

Stu has plenty of valid points and I usually agree with his reviews, but it's a shame that he doesn't realize that he has plenty of supporters here and instead of weathering the storm he decides to whine and run with his tail between his legs...and after what I've read about him, that doesn't sound like him at all.

I guess this goes deeper than I first believed...

I think Stuart is a good chap. He's Scottish and swears alot, you have to remember. I'll miss him.

I hope he is less stressed out of here, as I've seen Giles make numerous, unprovoked pops about his financial state. My life will be better if I never see another one of those. Just saying.

Cheers,
matt

Well I think Giles is justified in not caring too much for the Rev on account of the Rev having had a sig for months which was there for no other purpose except to upset Giles, actually. I got fucking fed up of seeing that thing every time the fucker posted.,

Meaning Giles or Stuart?

eh? Well Giles didn't have a sig like that...

Oh that was from Giles! I thought it was funny, no offense at all, it always reminds me how people understand him VERY differently.
