1000 hours of programming and the game was complete

The game development has been quite easy some time ago. Below you can find quote describing how game Pitfall has been created. I sat down with a blank sheet of paper and drew a stick figure in the centre. I said, ‘Okay, I have a little running man and let’s put him on a path’ (two more lines drawn on the paper). ‘Where is the path? Let’s put it in a jungle’ (draw some trees). ‘Why is he running?’ (draw treasures to collect, enemies to avoid and so on). And Pitfall! was born.” The man became known as Pitfall Harry. [...]

New things in Windows Phone 8

Yesterday, Microsoft announced a new version of Windows Phone. Those of you, who expected revolutionary information, may feel slightly disappointed. Microsoft has confirmed only all information that has been already published on the Internet as rumours. The key message was presented at the end of conference – Windows Phone 7 devices will not receive a full update to Windows Phone 8. There will be only update to something what is called Windows Phone 7.8. This version should look and behave like Windows Phone 8. Unfortunately this will not be full version of Windows Phone 8. I also wonder how that [...]

Godmode in LiveBox

Would seem, that such an act as to define a static IP address on the basis of number of MAC in the XXI century should not cause any problems. Until recently, I thought, that the market will not find router, that does not have such functionality, and here recently I had to do such a thing in LiveBox. Going through the standard menu, I have not found any function, which would allow it. As is usual in this type of problems I reached for Google. And yes there were many solutions, but most of them were based on the telnet [...]

MTS 2010 – my thoughts

Last week was a conference MTS 2010. This was my second trip to the MTS and to be honest I’m slightly disappointed it. If I compare it to the last year it falls on far worse. First of all, I am a little sorry for the organizers. It seems to me, that the ICJ has lost some its character. A year ago I had the feeling, that I came to one big family, if you can call it that. There was a time for everything. You could see a lot of interest. Especially if you saw rooms full of people [...]
