Hey all ive been getting back into Visual basic today so i thought i would make a little fun game, most of you have heard of mastermind, well this is a copy of it, you have to try and crack the 6 digit code.

i have made a simple interface for you to put 2 numbers in each box.

to see if those numbers are correct you click "Crack IT" a tick will appear if the numbers are right.

Good Luck Trying to crack the code.


When you have cracked the code, if you go File, there is a little button you can press it will open your default browser and direct you to this thread where i would like you to reply with your awnser.

when the correct awnser has been produced i will re-write then numbers and re-release the game, i will keep a score board on the thread of the first people to crack it!

Good luck and enjoy.

Upload has been attached to post get busy cracking the code!

A chart from Wired in 2005 shows how Star Wars influenced the later development of movies, games, TV programs, and the like.

The Star Wars empire has grown into one of the most fertile incubators of talent in the worlds of movies (Lucasfilm), visual effects (Industrial Light & Magic), sound (Skywalker Sound), and video games (LucasArts). Along the way, some of the original Lucas crew has gone on to become his biggest competitors.

The Flash interface is really annoying and not useful...the whole image is a better way to look at it. Very Mark Lombardi. (via vc)

Hitachi's 1.5-inch thick 50-inch plasma wasn't exactly front and center like we had imagined, but it was there garnering stares nonetheless. Donning a glossy white finish and displaying nothing but floral arrangements, the set looked pretty good (though not great) in terms of visual quality. The design, however, was simply stunning. And just as promised, we did include the obligatory iPhone comparison, though you'll have to account for the Belkin skin when drawing your conclusions. Give it a peek in the gallery below.

The 2008 Toronto International Film Festival is officially underway, and as always Cinematical is your one-stop-shop for all things TIFF. Our reviews, galleries, interviews and scene coverage will begin to populate the main page soon, but in the meantime we've been sharing some great exclusive clips, images and posters from some of the more talked-about flicks screening in Toronto this year. Below, feast your eyes on a clip from Picasso & Braque Go To The Movies, produced and narrated by none other than Martin Scorsese. The film, from art dealer-producer-director Arne Glimcher (The Mambo Kings) delves deep into the relationship between film and the visual arts, and it features folks like Scorsese, Chuck Close and Julian Schnabel. For more on Picasso and Braque, see the film's official summary over on the TIFF website.

If you’re in search for two things of major importance each day, they undoubtedly are 1) food, and 2) a roof. Which is why a search engine by the name of Circos, which we spotlighted briefly back in January and has just been re-launched, is so compelling. The items on which it pays focus are twofold: restaurants and hotels. That’s all. For now, at least.

What’s most interesting is the way Circos is organized. It can be used as something of an arbitrary, emotion-based search utility. It provides a menu of checkboxes for users to specify as a personality match. Once a choice is made, a click of the ‘Go’ button near the center of the page takes you to a list of results. The accuracy of the engine when used in that manner is of course dependent on one’s location, which Circos determines automatically, so if you’re scouring Small Town, America, what follows might be considered lacking. Or, if you have trouble taking the keywords for what they’re worth, you can customize a search via the box at the top of the page. Enter a city name, type of food, type of hotel (“luxury,” “cheap,” etc.), and proceed to the next page.

For each result you can see short quotes from reviews on sites like TripAdvisor and Yahoo Travel, plus an option on view what people speak of when they discuss a particular place. Click through to a specific page and you’ll see a graphical view of what people have said. And if you chose to observe tags in “word view,” and you specify one label or another, the corresponding reviews will emerge in kind.

Granted, such options are a bit more playful than some users might like. But the overall objective is achieved, I think. It’s a less clinical option for discovering places to eat and/or stay than services which deliver massive amounts of information to sift through, chock-full of figures, dollar-for-dollar comparisons and so forth. If you want to take a public opinion-influenced approach to your search for restaurants and hotels, Circos is something to consider.

It isn’t just visual appeal that Circos provides. It’s really quite useful. Other engines will do more. Some, much more. But it’s a pleasing alternative.

Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days.

Interesting games that came out this week include the US versions of hot games such as Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice and Tales of Vesperia. So to those who owned NTSC U/C encoded systems or those who don't speak Japanese, here is your portal to these hit Japanese RPGs.

Aside from localized RPGs, some very popular Xbox360™ games came out. Fight dirty in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, unlike the above mentioned Japanese RPGs, you are not located in a fantasy world where there is a path to justice, you are not fighting to become a hero, you are trying to benefit from chaos.

The other Xbox360™ game differs greatly from the above mentioned fiery actioner. Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise is about creating an utopic world for pinata animals. Since rent has become expensive and very few people have the luxury of owning a garden the size of a forest, make use of your Xbox360™ portal to another world.

No matter how forgiving a person is, there must have been one or two people whom they love to hate. Face Breaker allows you to relieve this grudge and lower your stress levels. Disfigure your opponent's face through your powerful punches, but be careful not to mix up the virtual world with reality.

Your home consoles can make a lot of your wishes come true, not only can you own a paradise-like garden, now you can even own multiple Ferraris through your PlayStation3™. Ferrari Challenge allows you to join professional and amateur racers on the most famous race tracks around the world.

Get off your Ferraris and enter the Abyss to deplete the demon population as the queen's champion in Abyss Gate. Travel into the depths of the shadows to protect your country. Although menacing, shadows are not neccessarily a source of evil, in Blue Dragon Plus, a sequel to its highly popular Xbox360™ predecessor, you cast your shadow over your enemies as weapons.

Aside from games, a couple of interesting soundtracks also came out. The challenge bemani games pose have amused and frustrated many people and the key to the games' success is in the music. Synthesized, by Fujimori Sota and Pop'n Music 16 Party is going to revitalize a lot of people via its energetic tunes.

[b]September 20 – November 22, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday September 20, 2008, 7-10 pm[/b]

January 23 – March 8, 2009
Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA[/b]

NEW YORK -- In [i]Signs of Change: Social Movement Cultures 1960s to Now[/i] hundreds of posters, photographs, moving images, audio clips, and ephemera bring to life over forty years of activism, political protest, and campaigns for social justice. Curated by Dara Greenwald and Josh MacPhee as part of Exit Art’s Curatorial Incubator Program, this important and timely exhibition surveys the creative work of dozens of international social movements.

Organized thematically, the exhibition presents the creative outpourings of social movements, such as those for civil rights and black power in the United States; democracy in China; anti-apartheid in Africa; squatting in Europe; environmental activism and women's rights internationally; and the global AIDS crisis, as well as uprisings and protests, such as those for indigenous control of lands; against airport construction in Japan; and for social change in France. The exhibition also explores the development of powerful counter-cultures that evolve beyond traditional politics and create distinct aesthetics, life-styles, and social organizations.

Although histories of political groups and counter-cultures have been written, and political and activist shows have been held, this exhibition is a groundbreaking attempt to chronicle the artistic and cultural production of these movements. [i]Signs of Change[/i] offers a chance to see relatively unknown or rarely seen works, and is intended to not only provide a historical framework for contemporary activism, but also to serve as an inspiration for the present and the future.

During the exhibition, there will be ongoing screen printing workshops with guest artists and activists in collaboration with the Lower East Side Printshop as well as the following programs and events.

Introduced by Sabu Kohso, Japan-born writer and activist, and Barbara Hammer, filmmaker.
In 1966, the Japanese government seized land and farms to build a larger airport near Narita. Local peasants, framers and activists created a powerful resistance movement, delayed construction for years, and disrupted the building process and airport's opening. Although the government prevailed, for many in Japan, the Narita revolt is remembered as a heroic moment. This absorbing and rare documentary film chronicles this story. $5 at the door.

SCEA marketing man John Koller last week told the world the new PSP's brighter screen would mean increased power consumption and thus around 20-30 minutes reduced battery time. Logical, you'd think. But now Koller says he was wrong.

In a corrective statement today, Koller has said that the new PSP-3000 will actually have equivalent battery life to the current PSP Slim.

"I'd like to make a correction and clarify that the new PSP will have equivalent battery life to the current PSP, about 4 to 6 hours for games and about 4 to 5 hours for UMD videos," said Koller on the official PS blog.

He goes on to explain: "While the enhanced screen of the new PSP draws a little more power, our engineers in Japan worked to reduce the power consumption of the overall system including its components, so you won't have to worry about losing any time when enjoying the more vibrant visuals displayed with the new PSP."

We expect the internet to put this to the test the minute it becomes available.

The new console, with its nicer screen and built-in microphone (oh, and equivalent battery life), will be out in UK on October 17 for £149.99.

Apple figured out that there are some actions which will perform better using other senses instead of plain old touch, which will probably be the next logical improvement for the Nintendo DS Lite that already has a microphone, although the use of it in games are rathe
