Re: Macrobit software & technology

Bump
Oh, and GP1, I'm making a DOS-like OS in scratch, so would you want me to convert it to a .jar at every release and then letting Macrobit "own" it?
EDIT: just to let you know, it wouldn't have "real" file i/o, instead it would have a virtual one that's deleted after every time you close it  hmm
Same thing with the user system

If only 2.0 could come out sooner, and if it had a .swf compiler, but still work with cloud vars.....

EDIT#2: Maybe I could recode the thing in java so it has persistent data, which would then make it more likely
Not that it would be useful for anything except fun  hmm

EDIT#3: and has tanks been released?

1) Sure, why not? When your done could you give me an sb file of it?
2)I have completely forgotten about Tanks! Thanks for reminding me. I've been working on Quibble and Go Everywhere, mostly. Ill try to get it fixed.
[p.s.]
Want to know what the problem was? Well, it was originally made for the Xbox for the Dream.Build.Play challenge. The Xbox does not support a keyboard, so I never bothered to add keyboard capability. It currently only works on a pc with a wired Xbox controller. So, I need to program in the keyboard. Ill try tomarrow.

I also do not have the Xna redistributable package, so you need the Xna .NET framework installed to play it. My dad wont let me get it, however my friend has it, so ill just give it to him to build  wink

Re: Macrobit software & technology

Some of you might know that our server, powrhost, forced ads on us. So we switched servers to 000webhost. We also switched domains, so McAfee, Norton, Avast!, and other safe search programs say that our site is fine to go to (McAfee said it might bt a thread, Norton said it was a bad site), since the old subdomain was x11s.info. Anyway, our new domain is http://macrobit.co.cc. Going to the old site will automaticly redirect you to the new site.

On the new site, here's what we've added:
Main Site:

Fixed cookie issues, so the remember me option will remember you for 50 days.

Developer:

New menu style. We took away the Mac like menu. It made it looks better.
You can have private chat rooms, and make public rooms, too. You automaticly get one private room, your user room. You can add more. Go to the chat room page or your user account page.
Chat rooms has RSS feeds, so you can subscribe to the rooms to see if there is anything you have missed. You can use your favorite feed reader to read the feeds. Look for the RSS buttons in public or private chat rooms (this does not include user pages. Sorry.  sad  )
Our new feature, Share. With Share, you can share code with developers. Just copy and paste the code into 1 of the text boxes (maximum 5 boxes). Your code will be public. Click the share item in the menu or go to your user account page.

Got it! You are registered for Macrobit. You need to register for the Macrobit Developer Program as well. Just follow this link: http://developer.macrobit.x11s.info/register. Thats where you go to register for Macrobit Developer Program.

Re: Macrobit software & technology

Our first product has been released! What is it, you might ask? Windows screen savers, of course! We have two screen savers so far. You can read about and download them at http://macrobit.co.cc/products/savers/. Hope you like them! I made this in BYOB 3.1.1, since a scratcher figured out how to turn compiled exe projects into scren savers for Windows! I forgot his name, but thanks a billion! I give total credit to him and Jens for this! BYOB doesnt have the best graphics but they're perfect for what I'm doing. Ill upload the projects to Mod Share, so you can see the source of the projects.

Re: Macrobit software & technology

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! NOT AGAIN!
Yes, again. I'm so verry sorry, but Tanks and Beta Build 1 of Quibble will not be released this month (July), unless I can get it to work right tomorrow (the 31st).
The problem is not us. We have fully completed Tanks and Quibble Beta Build 1 days ago. Our problems are, in this order:

1) while trying to publish Quibble in Visual Studio 2012, I had forgotton to take a reference out. It was published with it, so I just fixed it and republished it. I tried to install it, but it just said could not install, installer not right format. That's problem number one.

2) giving up on Quibble for a while, I published Tanks in Visual Studio 2010. I built it, fixed a thing that can't be redistributed, and built it again then ran it. It worked lke a charm! So, publish time! I tried to publish it to an FTP server, but it wouldn't publish. Problem number 2 (I gave it to Sonicnine1, maybe he can do a better job than me)

So, that's basicly it. Sorry again. However, 100% it will be released in Augest, since we just have to publish them.

Things like this will NEVER happen again. Before, I was just giving an estimate, but from now on, ill make sure I have it at least on its final build before I give a release date.

Re: Macrobit software & technology

Two good peices of news.
1) A new product is comming soon! Macrobit's Minecraft server. Anybody can join, and I mean ANYONE.
2) We are changing servers again. This time, we got a hold of a $20,000 server. No free servers anymore. We haven't switched yet, because we are adding Shop, Moose Tools, and changing the site a little. Also, we are adding Social Login for Google, Twitter, Facebook, and more. Even Scratch accounts! However, this means that ALL Macrobit accounts will be deleted, but you won't have to ever register for one again! This wont happen for a while, though.

Ok, cool! I don't know what to have you work on, though. Keep watching this thread and ill think of something. Although, I'm redoing the Macrobit site, maybe there will be some use for Flash.

You can use Stencyl, it uses scratch blocks and can compile "projects" into iOS apps or Flash apps  smile  And it's free!

Re: Macrobit software & technology

Oh, and if anybody hasnt noticed, the site is down. Yet again we are switching servers. This server is better than the others we previously used. We are redesigning the site, changing the login system, and adding Blastmail. At the release of the new site, the Developer Program will be down for a while, until we finish some more features.

WARNING!
If you previously had a Macrobit account, it has been deleted. This is because our new login system uses social login from other sites (Facebook, Google, etc.).

Re: Macrobit software & technology

Okay, everyone! The Macrobit site is finally redesigned and moved to a better server. People kept asking me what happened to it and where it went after co.cc shut down, so now it's back! We do plan on bringing back the developer program, after we resign that. Like I said before, if you had a previous Macrobit account, it has been deleted. You no longer need to register, just log in with an existing ID.

Find our new site at: http://macrobit.tk
