Article editors I'm planning to write some articles and would like to ask if anybody knows of some good HTML editors. I'm rather novice to HTML and it would be great if I had to write only the text and provide the images for the editor to render the article...

Win32 - Console simulation with edit box I'm writting a game under Win32, and have a console window. You can enter commands, change various options from it in "realtime" :) The console window is composed of 2 edit boxes. One for the input line, and the other for the command history...

Win32 - "SysIPAddress32" control is not shown on Win2k. I have a dialog box. This dialog box contains a "SysIPAddress32" control. I'm developing on a WinXP box, and everything runs fine. But when I tested my application on a Win2k box, the dialog box was not shown. I've done a little debu...

Netrix - Tetris Reloaded Netrix is unique in its own way. It is the only available tetris clone with programmable bots. The source code is polished enough so you can use it in your own projects. This is an OpenSource project, so any help is appreciated... [Ed...

Netrix - Tetris Reloaded Quote:Original post by Anonymous Poster Is your game supporting user customize-able interface? (like backgraound color, block color - different color for each type of blocks still is the best way to go, in my opinion) Yes. You can configure every...

Good game architecture books for a total newbie? Why buy a book when you can download tons of books from p2p networks?

Tetris AI Algorithms Damn, what a great feeling :)... My bot managed to score 80k completed lines. And it is a simple, 1-piece algorithm, whith no advanced stuff in it.

Tetris AI Algorithms I'll take my chance and show you what I've done so far. The game is ~60% complete. I haven't written any manual on the built-in scripting language... I'll do this later. I hope this is helpful. Here is the link: http://p4p.skynet.md/files/359...
