Umm, if you want to maintain this as a professional index, I suggest you purge all the posts, including this one, in this thread aside from the OP and restrict posting here to giving informational links. It would keep things from getting cluttered.

Very helpful content. But , being an old consle, I don't think that developing games just for the dreamcast is really smart. Thats why its good the Elysian Shadows team included a Pc Version aswell. Its ofcourse only my opinion, and i never played the dreamcast.

Hi, I found a video tutorial on Lua, I watched some of it so far, and its pretty good for me (somebody just getting into lua), just thought I'd share it with you, I noticed some of the video is about garry's mod, but most of it is Lua specific.

I've been working on a chess program, I'm at the point where I start making the actual engine for it. I found a really good site, and thought that it should be shared with all, if you are interested in this kind of thing I suggest looking at the open source program gerbil, it is really well documented. Hope this helps! http://web.archive.org/web/200404032117 ... /index.htm

in my hand, I get that feeling of wanting to knock the cover off the ball. It feels good to put all of my strength into hitting the ball. Just hitting the ball as hard as I can does not mean that I play good golf though. If you just need to relieve a little stress, then swinging with all your strength may accomplish your goals. However, if ishiner want to play golf well, then you are going to have to hold back on the power a little.
holy shit it's an actual adbot! We must be doing something right if we're popular enough to get an adbot. :lol:
