The Shining Source

Specially for Christmas I decided to upload a preliminary version of BABS 2. It misses a few features still, but it has plenty of bells and whistles to make it enjoyable!

I haven't put up an announcement on TSS as this alpha release is meant for the real die-hards that stuck with us during the tough days .

You can find the program at:
http://www.shiningsource.net/downloads/2004/BABS-2.alpha.zip

In order to run the game, you need to have the Java 5.0 JRE, which you can find at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp (third download link).

Enjoy!

Looking sweet

Just so you know, the Worklog feature of the main site should be working now

Cool . Well, I guess I'll start using that then for my smaller updates, and only post releases and screenshots on the main page .

edit: Actually I think we need to integrate the worklogs a little more with the project pages. Right now they can only be accessed by going to Worklogs->Project name?

It may be more convenient to throw them on the project page as well, along with the project news I guess .

I've put it on my "to-do" list =)

Apologies, I haven't had the chance to play it yet I need to upgrade to the Java 5.0 JRE but will do so soon

The screenshots look good, and its good to see Devlyn posting news updates as if he were still on the old acmefiles site

Can't wait to have a go, and i look forward to the next demo of SSC as well of course.

Devlyn rules.

Downloaded it the other day and didnt have time to post, but its very nice.

In the demo, they seem to miss alot dont they ? does that need some work still ?

Yes it certainly does. They should miss slightly more than in the normal series, but the chance really shouldn't be as big as it is. I'll need to revise the stats system to get things better though .

Locked this one as it's dead now .
