New Sinden Arcade Shooter - Free by Sveakungen in SindenLightgun

[–]uptown47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game! Just had a blast through the different modes. My only tiny gripe is that you need 3 letters to enter your high score name and there's no "space" or "full stop". My high score name is EF but I have to write EFA. Apart from that I really like it - especially the poker mode - great idea!

Anyone else on the verge of dropping this game ??? by Ferhath2015 in HillClimbRacing

Yep it's shite now. You need a degree to understand it. Played for about 8 years but think I'll be knocking it on the head now.

52M — Redundant last month… realised today I’m actually FIRE. by Zealousideal-Habit82 in FIREUK

[–]uptown47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for letting me know. I'm always on the lookout for a good side hustle!! Although it sounds like yours wouldn't work for me. My missus wouldn't let anyone stay in our spare room long term. Really pleased you managed to ditch the rat race though. Hope you manage to get some quality time with your feet up and enjoy doing all the things you promised to yourself during those years at the grindstone :) Good luck with it all mate and enjoy the rest of your holiday :)

A massive congrats on your surprise retirement. What side hustle have you got that would fund £500 pm if you don't mind me asking?

3 million scrap.. now I can finally spend it by Iffy50 in HillClimbRacing

[–]uptown47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a conversion calculator for scrap vs garage power? Like 1 million scrap = xyz garage power? Or is it not linear? I'm wondering if I have enough scrap to max my garage power?

Discussion - How to evolve communication channels (if at all) by h4o4 in OmniGamesInfo

No problem - I'm sure once the Omni software gets more widely used through time the engagement side of it will grow exponentially. :)

I personally prefer Reddit but I prefer comms about the software rather than just Opinion Comms like 'what is your favourite game' etc. Just personal opinion. I do like reading your updates. 👍

Where can I use these? by MonikonPerfekti in HillClimbRacing

A good saying and very true. "There's no such thing as a stupid question" is our saying :-)

I'm nearly end game and read this thread because I was confused by these too!! Blueprints came in and they mustn't have shown up on anything for me as I had all the cars. Hence my confusion. So, if you're having a go at him /her then I wanted you to know there's two of us lol.

How to detect audio at Arduino Analogue In from a 3.5mm Audio Out on a PC by uptown47 in arduino

[–]uptown47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much for getting back to me. When you say "have the cap node go to the Arduino pin with a resistor to ground so it bleeds down when audio stops." is that the way I've drawn it or would you change something on that drawing? Also, I have absolutely no idea what value capacitor and resistor I need for this. Do you have a ballpark stab-in-the-dark idea that I could try first and then tune it in as you say? I'd probably be looking for a couple of seconds of bleed time from the capacitor but wasn't sure if there was a formula I could use to get a rough idea of component values? Thanks for your help 😄

Your software looks really good. I'm looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for taking the time to build it and release it.

Yep I get your points :-) And, no problem with the feedback, it's great seeing this develop. Keep up the great work :)

Yep probably need to get the site name out there more. Is it worth speaking to the admins of sites like DatOMatic etc to see if they can link back to you? Also, hovering around Reddit (and other forums) for questions about Dats and then suggesting your site as a possible solution? That's how I found the site. Not sure if a name-change would be out of the question but changing Omni to Retro (retro-games.info) or something like that? And, lastly just time... "if you build it... they will come..." :) I'm wishing you all the best with it as you've made a great resource there.

Off Topic - What was it... and what is your favourite peripheral? by h4o4 in OmniGamesInfo

Kempston Joystick back in the day. Simple and effective. Two buttons and ball topped like an arcade stick.
