Slacky Store Opens!

Italiano:
Questa volta non è una mia applicazione o un mio progetto ma ritengo doveroso segnalarlo ugualmente.
Apre infatti lo SlackyStore dove potrete confezionare magici (e un po nerd) regali per voi e per i vostri amici appassionati della filosofia Slackware e puristi di GNU/Linux.

Acquistando un prodotto dello Slacky Store si dona automaticamente una somma per aiutare il mantenimento della community e dei mille servizi che offre.
Le immagini e in generale i loghi che arrecano gli articoli (maglietta, cappelli, tazze, felpe, borse per la spesa e per il tempo libero...) sono state create dagli utenti della community e votate pubblicamente per scegliere le migliori.

Esistono due store. Uno è più "grafico", l'altro più "testuale". A voi la scelta.

File name Archivier released!

SHELL SCRIPT

Hi!
I'm pleased to release an extremely simple archivier for filenames that helps you when you have lots of backup DVDs and you have to search into them to find a file.
Whith this script you can make a rapid archive of all the files and directories of your medias and search into this archive to find the dvd where files are stored.

When you download the script, remember to set the correct permissions
$ chmod 0755 detectfile.sh

Here follows an example of usage

let's make the archives for all the dvds
bash-3.1$ pmount /dev/cdrom
bash-3.1$ ./detectfile.sh -c /media/cdrom/ dvdbackup1
bash-3.1$ pumount /dev/cdrom

bash-3.1$ pmount /dev/cdrom
bash-3.1$ ./detectfile.sh -c /media/cdrom/ dvdbackup2
bash-3.1$ pumount /dev/cdrom

let's search for file named Bilbo
bash-3.1$ ./detectfile.sh -f  bilbo
|-- Bilbo.avi
IN ARCHIVE:  /home/giovanni/.detective/dvdbackup1


|-- Bilbo adventure.avi
|-- The Hobbit (BILBO).avi
IN ARCHIVE:  /home/giovanni/.detective/dvdbackup2

That's all!


Enjoy!!!

DVD Game Interactive Fiction Released! (ITA)

Salve,
sono lieto di annunciarvi il rilascio del mio primo DVD Game  "La grotta di Bosco del Nibbio". Per questo rilascio ho prodotto una avventura di esplorazione come avvenne per Colossal Cave (ma neanche minimamente paragonabile ad esso).
Per godere a pieno del gioco è sufficiente scaricare la iso e masterizzarla su un DVD.
Inserire il supporto nel lettore e, muniti di telecomando, carta e penna provare a districarsi nei corridoi di un maze vecchio stile.
In definitiva La Grotta di Bosco del Nibbio è una avventura di orientamento e disegno delle mappe.
Il gioco è completamente in italiano e saranno solo le mie parole a guidare il giocatore nei sentieri e ovunque egli possa e voglia andare.
Godetevi nella mente il paesaggio e non dimenticate di divertirvi ;)


Hi!
I'm pleased to announce the release of my first DVD-Game named "La Grotta di Bosco del Nibbio".
This is an interactive fiction playable with the home dvd player. It's an exploration game similar in concept to the "Colossal Cave" but it's not the half of the half of the half of the quality of this storic game.
So it's funny but only available in Italian.
If you want to try it download the iso and burn on a dvd.

Enjoy

A.U.T.O. alpha stage released!

Hi!
I'm really proud to share with you all the alpha demo of a new game that I've programmed.

The graphic of this game is made by my friend  "Void"

A.U.T.O. (Accelerate Until the Time is Over) is a 2D Racing game developed with SDL and available for GNU/Linux ,  Windows  and other systems that support SDL libraries.

For this release you know that is only an alpha stage and it's really far from the 1.0 result but I think that maybe I can give you 5 minutes of fun!!!

Don't give up to the first bend :D the game is a bit hard on the beginning but you can take it in full throttle when you are experienced.

THIS DEMO IS DEVELOPED IN 4 DAYS!!! AND THE CODE IS TERRIFIC :D it's not c++ and it's not well written C.  But I'm so busy and I had only the weekend to make something that works.

You can download the test game at

GNU/Linux:    DOWNLOAD

Windows XP:  DOWNLOAD

Enjoy!
and send me feedbacks :P
