There are gonna be two posts today and well this post is a game lovers delight. First I had the electronic version of this really old book The Art of Game Design lying around. I haven't ever got around to really reading so well u will have to check it out. Secondly I have Caesar one of the first strategy games to be released. It has now shifted to abandonware and is hence free for distribution. Thirdly I have this stupidly built clone of Space Invaders which I had made myself a few years back. Though it is not a work of art the game works entirely in text mode, i.e. the so called graphics are created by characters.
Oh well there are gonna two posts today so here's the first one. There's this cool book on game design, The Art of Game Design. Though it is old (early 1980s) it continues to be an excellent reference for the designing of games. Secondly I had this old game called Caesar lying around. It is an early strategy game and was very popular around 1992-93. Now it has switched over to abandonware so distributing it freely is legal.

Sorry but I did not really have that much time today (had a practical exam & a few parties to attend to) so this is gonna be something like a short release consisting of only one book, The HitchHiker's Guide to The Galaxy. If you are in need of a good laugh this is the book to read. Unfortunately I had downloaded only the first book of this five book series (I ended up buying the rest of them) however if you wanna try the book out this should do. If you do end up wanting to buy the rest of the series I suggest you buy The Ultimate HitchHiker's Guide, an omnibus of the entire series. It is cheaper and better than the individual books, besides it has this cool intro by Douglas Adams. Neways good night.

Hi my hard disk was getting kind of crowded with all the data that I collect so I decided to have this blog where I could post links to interesting information and could well use to empty my hard disk.
Neways if you find any really interesting piece of info I would be grateful if you could send me a link at aurojit@hotmail.com and well I would be happy to acknowledge ur CONTRIBUTION on my page.


For those of u interested in robotics might I suggest Jones on Stepping Motors, an excellent introduction and tutorial on the working of stepper motors.
Those into programming will be well advised to visit DDJ, ok old news for most people, but then there are people like me who had to discover this great site.
Neways more is to come tomorrow.
