A Couple Games

Submitted by pkeffect on August 7, 2007 - 6:38pm

Hopefully the Qtetris Patrick worked on will be in the beta-testing forum soon.

Here are a couple more projects I think would make for nice packages.

Atomic Tanks
# Project Page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/atanks/
# Description: Atanks is a multi-platform Scorched Earth clone similar to the Worms series of games. Annihilate the other tanks to earn money, then spend it on bigger and better shields and weapons to wipe out the opposition.

# Development Status : 5 - Production/Stable

File Association

Submitted by TheOneMrO on August 7, 2007 - 5:28pm

I thought it would be awfully handy if temporary file association would be added to these applications. Implementation would be simple:

1) Write a test registry key, if it fails, skip file association

1.5) Create backups of the registry keys being modified

2) Change the appropriate registry keys in HKCR

3) Use some way to refresh the shell icons (included in FileFunctions.nsh i think)

4) Execute the program using ExecWait

5) Import the registry backups and/or delete all changed keys

6) Refresh shell icons again

WinMerge Portable

Hi All

Ive used this piece of software for sometime and thought I would put it up for nomination to be portablised by someone in the PortableApps.com team since it the best way to go. Smile

The software itself is used to compare the contents of two different files to see what differences there are. It is very handy when trying to find out where you have mucked up your coding. It is licensed under the GPL and would be a good addition to the arsenal already present here.
