Well, we now have the whole lot archived in downloads section! 2008-09-28T07:35:00Z Richard Goodwin http://www.acornarcade.com/comments/rss/news1211.html After writing my first article about random map generators, I said I was going to write a city generator. Well now I have, and I'm here to tell you about it over the course of the next few Building the Dream articles.Blow your own trumpet much? 2008-08-23T11:00:00Z Jeffrey Lee http://www.acornarcade.com/comments/rss/news1210.html Gareth Moore wrote in to let us know that, as foretold in the forums, the "Brits Who Made the Modern World" series is a big rip-off of the book "The Backroom Boys". No, wait, that wasn't it. 2008-08-14T21:30:00Z Richard Goodwin http://www.acornarcade.com/comments/rss/news1171.html 2008-01-29T00:00:00Z http://www.acornarcade.com/comments/rss/news1166.html Well it's that time of year again. It hardly seems like a full year since we last wished all our readers a very Merry Christmas. Yet again, most of you are probably too busy downing the bottle of whatever-it-is that you found in the back of the cupboard, and stuffing yourself with mince pies to notice this post, but I'm still going to say it anyway. 2007-12-25T00:00:00Z Andrew C. Poole http://www.acornarcade.com/comments/rss/news1163.html Hugh Robinson has contacted us to let us know that he's converted classic Acorn platformer Asylum to C, using the SDL library. With full support of original author Andy Southgate, Hugh's source code has now been released under the GPL, and is available to download from the SVN repository on the SourceForge project page. 2007-07-09T20:30:00Z Jeffrey Lee http://www.acornarcade.com/comments/rss/news1156.html I figured it was about time for another oldschool review. This time I'll be talking about LASER, a game written by Mike Goldberg (and his cat) as part of his series of graphics programming articles in Acorn Computing magazine. The game was released on the subscription disc for the February 1994 issue of the magazine, along with a level editor so users could make their own puzzles. 2007-04-09T08:00:00Z Jeffrey Lee http://www.acornarcade.com/comments/rss/news1148.html Previously, on Bob and Trev: Resurrection... 2007-03-17T00:15:00Z Jeffrey Lee http://www.acornarcade.com/comments/rss/news1140.html Previously, on Bob and Trev: Resurrection... 2007-03-16T00:00:00Z Jeffrey Lee
