Beta testers wanted

I've ported my iPhone game, Brain Party, to Linux. It's now stable enough that I'm looking for a handful of testers able to give it a whirl and help find bugs. So, if you a) know what SDL/OpenGL are, b) are happy compiling stuff from source, and c) have 30 minutes to spare, please drop me a line at paul.hudson@futurenet.com and I'll set you up.

Paul Hudson's Coding Academy

If you've received your copy of LXF128, you should by now have spotted that our new special edition magazine, Paul Hudson's Coding Academy, is now on sale - you can read more about it at www.linuxformat.com/codingacademy.

The problem is, it's selling a bit better than we had expected - we had 200 copies ready for sale online alongside the thousands destined for newsstands around the world, but all the online copies have already sold out. We're trying to get more for online sale by pulling copies back from newsstands, but it's not easy.

So, there are some things you need to know:

Bored of this decade

I've just spent the last few hours putting up a beginners Emacs tutorial on TuxRadar. Long-time LXF readers will recognise it from way back in the dark mists of LXF - from the early 60s to the mid-70s to be precise - and I figured it was time to set the content free for everyone to enjoy. It's hardly as if Emacs has changed all that much, after all, and even the most hardened of LXF subscribers are unlikely to dig that deep into our subscriber-only area to find the PDFs. If you find yourself bored over the holiday break and you're interested in trying something different, give it a read.

So, I'm done now. I'm free to enjoy my last Christmas without kids, which means tomorrow morning I'll sleep in, then hopefully have a very relaxed day indeed. We're all out of the office now until January 4th, so I wish you all a very merry Christmas and an awesome 2010!

LXF127: awesome to the max

Subscribers will be receiving LXF127 right now, and you'll notice a) we provided a double-sided DVD with Ubuntu LXF remix, OpenSUSE 11.2 and Mandriva 2010 for you to enjoy, plus b) it should come with a free wallchart: helpful commands on one side, and a super-size reproduction of the LXF120 cover on the other (NB: you can download a variety of cover art as desktop wallpapers from our collection of free Linux wallpapers)

It's Christmas, so we hope you enjoy the little extra - do let us know if we're wasting our time popping extras into an issue, or whether it's the kind of thing you'd like to see more of!

(PS: the issue goes on general sale tomorrow morning, and, yes, all newsstand copies also come with the wallchart + 8GB DVD, but we expect them to disappear pretty quickly!)

Hacking on the iPhone

Many moons ago I blogged about a game idea Graham had called Brain Party. That was some time ago, and since then I ported the code both to Windows Mobile devices and Xbox 360, and managed to sell quite a few copies of it.

But here's what's new: you probably know by now that I'm obsessed with coding, so I took it on myself to port Brain Party from C# to plain old C++, and as of today Brain Party is available for iPhone/iPod Touch users. Now, it's a long way from the old SDL game I made a few years ago - it has 30+ minigames, it's OpenGL-accelerated (shinier graphics - oooh!), and it's actually finished as opposed to kind of hanging around waiting for something to happen - but the core concept is the same: family-friendly brain games that everyone can enjoy.

Announcing the Answers Archive

Got a problem with Linux? Looking for a quick fix? On our sister site TuxRadar we've created a searchable database of over 700 Linux problems and solutions. These have been taken from the Answers section of Linux Format magazine, and stretch back over five years - so some of the information may be a bit dated. Nonetheless, there's lots of valuable information inside, so we hope it comes in useful!

Many thanks to LXF readers Towy and Guy for their help in converting LXF Answers to XML. Oh, and if you're looking for a complete list of the questions (it's a big page!), click here.
