BreakOut 3D with C# and DirectX

BreakOut 3D: "OK, Im sorry for not having the imagination to come up with something on my own but I really love those classic games. I really miss those days when everything was simple and in two directions. But now its different, people today must have everything in 3d. So here it is, my version of breakout.

The game resolution is 1024x768 and the objects are many and rather complex, therefore the game needs quite good hardware to run properly. I designed the game to run 50 f/s."

StreamTorrent

StreamTorrent: "The purpose of StreamTorrent is to permit servers with little bandwidth to serve streams to hundreds, thousands or more listeners. Clients connect to each other in a peer-to-peer fashion, forming a tree-like network. The key advantages of this system are:

• As your listener base grows, so does your 'bandwidth' (in a sense) --your ability to serve the connections grows too. No more hunting around for mirrors for your webcast -- your fans ARE your mirrors.


• The network is independent of the content. It doesn't matter if you are streaming audio, video, ASCII art, whatever.


• There's no added complexity for the users---and very little for the source.

Mozilla Stops development

www.9Down.Com - Mozilla Stops development: "The Mozilla Foundation may be ending development of its application suite, but the open-source combination of a Web browser, e-mail client and Web-authoring tool appears likely to continue with the help of its friends.

Mozilla this week changed development course with the suite, announcing that it no longer plans to release Mozilla 1.8 despite earlier betas of the update. Instead, it will end suite development with the current Version 1.7 line and instead focus on its standalone Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail client.

While the foundation is retiring the official Mozilla suite, it is open to helping developers in the Mozilla community sustain it on their own."
