I'll be hosting a series of tutorials. The first set will focus on building Windows GUI applications in C#. After that, I plan to focus on building video games. I'll soon provide a link with videos, once I have the first one up.
By the way, I have a YouTube video channel at http://youtube.com/amdandcode. Enjoy!
- Dell XPS 1530 laptop touchpad problem
-
OK, so the A08 BIOS update fixed the touchpad issues, but introduced problems with the battery charging unit, and the nVidia GPU used in the XPS 1530 was overheating. These issues are now fixed in the A09 release, available from Dell Tech Support.
When first released, the Dell XPS 1530 laptop had an annoying bug with its touchpad. While the machine was running, if the lid was closed and reopened, the touchpad would get glitchy. Dell finally released a BIOS update for this laptop model that fixes the problem once and for all. It can be downloaded from Dell Tech Support.
- Crayon Physics Deluxe
-
If you're like me, and you enjoy games that make you think, but are also soothing, check out Crayon Physics Deluxe. This is a rather novel idea—not quite what you'd expect for a video game, but quite interesting and addicting when you start playing.
There are two versions available. You can get the original version from http://www.kloonigames.com/blog/games/crayon/. The original version only lets you draw basic shapes. The game's author, Petri Perho, is currently developing another version which allows advanced shapes to be drawn and more physics to be used. The site for the new version is available at http://www.kloonigames.com/crayon/.
