Back in 2011, I was looking for no-coding-required 3D game making engines, and I found 3D Rad. I then proceeded to get Sketchup and the official 3D Rad exporter for it, and I made a small little game where you drive around a green terrain (one of the default ones they give you) in Homer's family sedan, and you can drive around and look at various Simpsons...

The Journey of a kid who's trying to do something he doesn't know how too.

Background:
I've always loved this game as kid. Infact it's what got me into programming.
I've spent about two years getting the source code to this game.
And now that I finally have it. I'm going to try my best to compile this game.
I'll post status updates about the games here.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
However, I...​

Lately, I stumbled upon the Casio Loopy, and I was wondering a lot of it's technical specs in general.
From time to time I go out there and put myself onto coding challenges aside from the regular game programming I do to further investigate and code for something that is fun and unique.

I am boy, yes. I do however liked the the aesthetic of the gaming device and I am working on a Unity game tittle that would probably appeal to a female audience. And when I stumbled on...

I'm getting started with a 16-bit platform videogame for the Sega Genesis, named Sonic Crackers. Just like the Sonic After the Sequel fangame or Sonic 4: Cybernethic Outbreak romhack, tt's meant to be a (yet another) direct sequel to "Sonic 3 & Knuckles", but at the same time it attempts to do better than what Sonic 4 did years ago (what a bad game, man!).

With my friend pckid, we're working on two projects, but we would like to begin by one to make the best for the community but also to meet the expectations of Retrogaming players.

This is a survey of the two projects. We'll show our progress on this post.

Over the past year, I have been gathering dev kits for classic consoles from around the net, fixing them up to get them in a working state, and then wrote small game samples for each. The samples will compile out of the box.
You can find them at

I recently read that the dummy files in the Bloody Roar 4 for PS2 were in fact a zip file containing Renderware SDK.
I'm sure I read about one or two similar cases (maybe a dummy file containing some source code) in other games/platforms, though can't remember the details.

I tried doing some searches, but my google-fu is failing me.

Is there a list of such "fails" somewhere?
Or maybe we can use this...

I've had this question in my mind for a very long time. It might contribute to the fact that I have zero skills at programming complex languages, or maybe it is because I don't have any resources besides the game to begin with. I don't want to remake the entire thing from scratch; I want the game to be transitioned through another console instead, only through the same video game generation the console was released in(example: DC -> PS2).
But that requires a lot...
