How do isometric tiles fit together if each of their corners are transparent this would leave gap when putting them next to each other on a tiled map surely?
has anyone heard about the Google DemoSlam? Well basicly people, any people make videos of what kinds of cool things you can do with Google's products. I'd like to make an anime-like, a couple minutes long animation which I will translate into Japanese with Google Translator.
So can I use some audio from here if I display all of the artists names in the credits? And if not, does anyone know a page similiar to this where I could legally get some musics and sound effects?
While wondering and wandering through cyberspace, I came across/discovered kickstarter. This happened several weeks ago. I have been enjoying going there and knowing how people have been raising funds for their own creative pursuits. Its something like OGA but a different business model. As a casual gamer I was attracted to their games section and found few entries which I was unable to comprehend or didn't understand. Can somebody explain me the following ones :-
It has recently come to our attention that we have a nerd on our forums. Several sources suggests that this man reads both Slashdot and reddit daily, and on multiple occasions has he been seen entering IRC-channels on Freenode.

It has been suggested by insiders that he have had contact with several dangerous individuals such as Richard Stallman and Ken Perlin.
There are a lot of tilesets and images with individual frames of animation on this site, but every programmer who wants to use them needs to recreate the information which specifies which tiles can be adjacent to which other tiles (and in which direction), the x, y, width, and height of where a tile is in the larger image, or which frames of animation can follow other frames.
We just had someone post a couple of job offers for alarge commercial (and presumably closed source) game company. I don't have any major problems with this specifically (unless it's Zynga), but I'm not sure OGA is necessarily the correct venue for that, as we cater primarily to the creative commons and to some extent the indie games community. I figure we have two options:
Starting a thread where people can prod,point, rant perhaps FOSS games. What we like/liked or didn't. Something on those lines. If we like a project, where is it failing or could be done better, something on those lines. It could motivate more people to join a project or help out in the little things which could make the whole ecosystem better. Just an idea.
So here are couple I liked, both are in development so here goes nothing:-
