pTroisième épisode de cette série Le jeu du mois, avec comme star aujourd'hui, un jeu très addictif : Slime Volley ! Essayer ce jeu c'est l'adopter, en effet, il est très rapide à installer et à prendre en main./p pAu bout de deux minutes de jeu, vous en serez accros, je vous le garantie ! La présentation ? Bien sûr, c'est par là !/p pimg title=logo_slime_volley.png, nov 2008 style=margin: 0 auto; display: block; alt= src=http://www.generation-linux.fr/public/dec08/logo_slime_volley.png //p br /pstrongI. Présentation/strong/p pJe ne veux pas paraphraser donc je vais vous faire un vulgaire copier-coller (un peu épuré) de la description faite sur le a href=http://slime.tuxfamily.orgsite officiel/a :/p pqSlime Volley est un jeu inspiré des jeux Java du même nom (dans le style de Blobby Volley).br / Il s’agit d’une simulation de volley : vous dirigez une emslime/em (un blob semi-circulaire) sur lequel la balle rebondit.br /br /Ce jeu est programmé en C avec la bibliothèque Simple DirectMedia Library (SDL), et est placé sous license GPLv3. Il est donc libre et gratuit.br / Slime Volley est développé sous Linux et Mac OS X, et fonctionne également sous Windows./q/p pEt voici la description que m'a fait un des créateurs de ce jeu (MCMic) :/p pqÀ la base, il s'agissait d'un jeu en java lui-même nommé Slime Volley, qui me plaisait beaucoup. br /J'ai donc eu envie d'adapter ce jeu en C et en libre, pour me mettre sérieusement à la programmation. Avec l'aide de VinDuv, on a programmé ladite version, ajoutant ensuite diverses fonctionnalités au fil des versions. Je me suis notamment occupé de coder les premiers modes de vitesse (une invention de notre part) et l'IA pour pouvoir jouer contre l'ordi. Vinduv a beaucoup aidé pour la physique et le réseau notamment.br /Au final, notre jeu est bien plus évolué que le jeu java, la physique est également très différente./q/p pQu'est-ce-que vous voulez rajouter à cela, pour moi tout est dit, nous allons donc passer à la deuxième partie, l'installation./p br /pstrongII. Installation/strong/p pComme je vous l'ai dit, tout est très facile, rendez-vous sur a href=http://slime.tuxfamily.org/down.phpla page de téléchargement/a du site de Silme Volley puis téléchargez la version correspondant à votre système. En effet, Slime Volley a l'avantage d'être disponible sous toutes les grandes plateformes, à savoir Linux, Mac et Windows./p pA l'heure où j'écris cet article, la version 2.4.1 vient tout juste de voir le jour, c'est donc cette version qui est proposée au téléchargement actuellement./p pSur cette page, vous verrez également comment rendre disponible Slime Volley via les dépôts. Personnellement, j'ai téléchargé le package Debian/Ubuntu .deb, je l'ai installé via le gestionnaire de package et tout fonctionne correctement img src=/themes/default/smilies/smile.png alt=:) class=smiley //p pPassons au moment le plus marrant, le test !/p br /pstrongIII.

Bonjour à tous [smile] Nouvel utilisateur et participant du forum Alsa, je me suis rendu compte que je ne recevait aucune notification de réponse par mail à mes post. Je trouve cette fonctionnalité

If you want to pick up a camera for your loved one that is as much a fashion statement as it is a photography device, you’ve gotta consider the fashionista-friendly Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T700. It’s not all about the looks, though, because this camera packs in a bunch of features. Like what? How about anti-blink and Smile Shutter technology? It also features a 3.5-inch ultra-high resolution touchscreen display, shoots at up to 10.1 megapixels, and includes 4GB of internal memory. It also includes the Picture Motion Browser software package, but seriously, who’s gonna use that? The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T700 retails for $399.99, but on Amazon we were able to find substantial discounts, depending on which color you were interested in:

• Grey DSC-T700 for $339.99
• Pink DSC-T700 for $366.47
• Silver DSC-T700 for $375.64
• Red DSC-T700 for $375.64

There’s also a gold version, but we didn’t include that one since there was no discount available on it. Definitely a good gift for the woman in your life.

img src="http://planet.gnome.org/heads/logos/gnome-scan.png" alt="" align="right" pHi,/p pThe rewrite is going on. I can’t publish it yet because it is incomplete et break a lot of things. Anyway, i want you to know that the project is far from dead. I manage to work on it about few hours a day allowing to make some visible progress./p pThese days, i almost finished the first two steps : reworking the maindialog. This work consists of merging configuration and acquisition dialog, splitting acquisition dialog into several widgets for handling scanner selector, options (page, box, widgets) and preview. All those rework mean rewriting one way or another. I just choose to rewrite in Vala./p pThis rework imply a lot of rework in the ground base of the library : options and pipeline représentation. Options are now far more smarter. Options replace old ParamSpec. The difference is in the intelligence in it. Options will handle themselves signaling their changes to other object, they handle their value themselves including saving and storing to GConf (not yet). This will allow saving to GConf high level option like paper size, lists, areas and every boxed type you can find in options./p pThe option handling has changed a bit in order to completely split engine from GUI. There is now an option manager which stores rules to determine which widget handle one option. It allow to specify a widget to handle an option considering its name or its type. This is far more grained and finally efficient since there is one rule for each instance of option rather than on type stored in each option./p pOther area of rework are the pipeline. The job is now constituted of nodes (instead of plugins) with a scanner at begin and a sink at the end. Each node has a status (initializing, unconfigured, ready, processing, etc.) and the job take the status of the least status node (e.g. if scanner is initializing and sink is ready, then gnome-scan is still initializing). Since option are self signaling, nodes knows on the fly the actual value from users, allowing to update their status accordingly (from unconfigured to ready and vice-versa)./p pOn top of that, the new dialog looks exactly the same and behave mostly the same. Changes includes dynamic building of the UI (just to save some CPU cycle before showing dialog), dynamic handling of status (exposing actual status in selector and disabling buttons according to status). This status handling will avoid user to launch unusable scan configuration leading to unpredictable result (i.e. crash)./p pOptions widget are now packed in option box (with bold title), themselves packed in option page (each per tab). All of these widgets are auto-hidden and auto-expanded allowing the dialog to not care about packing option while providing high level widget to build custom dialog./p pAlso, configuration and acquisition has been merged in the same dialog. This allow to go back and forth. Imagine you just want to change to orientation of the next photo ... now you can ! I wonder whether i should expose some options for each scan (like orientation and file name) just below the progress bar. This will allow to name each frame of a scan (be it for flegita filename of f-spot photo description or GIMP layer name). This UI will be greyed during scan. Feedback welcome./p pAbout a href=http://vala-project.org/Vala/a. This language is pretty cool. Writing 1 line of vala produce about 3,2 lines of C. This helps a lot. In the mean time vala is still a 0.X software (like a href=http://gegl.org/GEGL/a, like ... GNOME Scan !) and i have to send some patches againts vala binding or vala itself. All in all, vala allows me to write pretty good code and faster. 0.5 rewrite was fast thanks to Anjuta GObject class generator. Vala helps me a lot in rewriting GNOME Scan./p pThe next step is to build a single instance of the GEGL pipeline allowing dynamic preview. Actually implement acquisition. Then preview and processing will take place. Commit. Then porting gSANE backend and gimp plugin to new API and writing flegita-print (the GNOME photocopier). I have no clue whether i’ll be able to publish a 0.7.1 with feature parity against 0.6./p pOh, i was forgetting the a href=http://bersace03.free.fr/pub/tmp/gnome-scan-0.7.0.ogvscreencast/a i made, showing some UI changes img src=http://blogs.gnome.org/gnome-scan/wp-content/mu-plugins/tango-smilies/tango/face-smile.png alt=:-) height=16 class=wp-smiley width=16 //p

Hello,

I am seeking a Frenchmen to email. I am in the States and I have always wanted to get to know a Frenchmen. I absolutely love the accents. I have caramel skin, big brown eyes, long wavy dark hair and a beautiful curvaceous body; not to mention a beautiful smile and soul.

I'm more interested in personality than looks, but I seek a friend..maybe more if it gets to that point. Of course I will also send a pic when you respond so you know who you are talking to.

Until then...

James White

I got a note from "Jeff," the fellow in the bald cap in this video from Salt Lake City a number of years ago. He writes,

I sir,am the man in the bald cap mocking you with lonnie and ruben at the mormon conference. I just thought i would tell you that, you are blasphemous heathen. You put down God's holy word; the King James Bible. You smile about it. This tells me that you are disconnected from truth. I'm not saying you are not saved, i'm simply implying that you are mocking the word of god. Now if streetpreachers go out on the streets to share the gospel, you put them down. That tells me one thing, you are against God's word. Jesus said if you are not with him you are against him. Just some words of wisdom for you James. Jeff   Well, isn't that special? And may I say, Jeff, that you, sir, are one of the best friends the Mormons ever had?

Der Spielgel profiles a 42-year-old woman who has perfect "episodic memory" "People say to me: Oh, how fascinating, it must be a treat to have a perfect memory," she says. Her lips twist into a thin smile. "But it's also agonizing." In addition to good memories, every angry word, every mistake, every disappointment, every shock and every moment of pain goes unforgotten. Time heals no wounds for Price. "I don't look back at the past with any distance. It's more like experiencing everything over and over again, and those memories trigger exactly the same emotions in me. It's like an endless, chaotic film that can completely overpower me. And there's no stop button." She's constantly bombarded with fragments of memories, exposed to an automatic and uncontrollable process that behaves like an infinite loop in a computer. Sometimes there are external triggers, like a certain smell, song or word. But often her memories return by themselves. Beautiful, horrific, important or banal scenes rush across her wildly chaotic "internal monitor," sometimes displacing the present. "All of this is incredibly exhausting," says Price.

pJe ne pense pas avoir déjà posté ici, mais là je découvre que sur 01net on en est aux attaques personnelles contre l'auteur de ce blog, alors même si ça n'est pas très constructif, je tiens à rééquilibrer en signalant que moi je n'ai rien contre voir la tête de Tristan img src=/dc-blog/themes/default/smilies/smile.png alt=:) class=smiley //p

A couple of days ago, Théophile Kouamouo [Fr], a blogger based in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), started a meme asking bloggers to reflect on why blog about Africa:

Bloguons nous pour la diaspora et le vaste monde, coupé de nos contemporains sur le continent ? Blogue-t-on sur l'Afrique comme on blogue sur l'Europe ou l'Asie ? La blogosphère afro-orientée a-t-elle quelque chose de spécifique à offrir au concert de l'universel version 2.0 ?

Do we blog for the diaspora and for the world at large, cut off from our contemporary on the continent? Is blogging about Africa done in the same way as blogging about Europe or Asia? Does the African-oriented blogosphere have something specific to offer to the world version 2.0?

After tagging a few fellow African bloggers, Téophile offered his own answer to the question:
