| Comments | Ha! This is an accurate simulation of a search engine which somehow fits an entire web directory into a mere 48K. Having checked each and every URL that it listed I can also state that it works 100% of the time, and for that reason has failed to win the compo. Well, there's that and THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT A BLOODY GAME! DID YOU PEOPLE EVEN BOTHER TO FIND OUT WHAT THE "G" STOOD FOR IN CSSCGC? DID YOU? EH? EH?! GAH! |

| Description | Nooooooo, not yet another Etch-a-sketch Simulator for the Speccy, please God, nooooo. I just can't handle the originality! Oh, and the author claims "its crap, and even more crap cause its the first program I have wrote for the spectrum in over 10 years" - pah, excuses excuses! One splendid undocumented feature is that, by pressing W or E, you can cause numbers (the X and Y co-ordinates, as it happens) to be displayed down the left of the screen. Very, erm, useful for... something? (The author says this was included for "debugging" purposes but he forgot to remove the lines of code afterwards - tchoh!) |

| Description | First there was Twitter, now... Facebook? |
| Comments | Yes, the live Twitter feed from the Spectranet-driven Speccy at the Vintage Computer Festival earlier this year is now officially Old Hat!
At least, that would have been the headline, were it not for the fact that this Facebook Simulator was just that ... a simulator.
Despite the fact that no actual interface to the 'real world' FB servers exists, this sim does provide a rather nice feed. More concerning however are the friends I must keep, going by the names of my "Friends" (Kate 'arsenic' Thomas, Garry 'the knife' Bostock and Jane 'under the patio' Guyver etc.). They appear to constantly post to my wall, it is making me quite anxious.
Let be honest though, this sim feeds posts out more in "chat room" fashion than "facebook" fashion, despite the occasional "Loading page..." refresh that occurs.
I do have it on good authority however that Pete was down with man flu when he wrote this. (Still doesn't get him any extra marks mind).
Keys: 'P' = Post a comment; 'L' = 'Like' a comment; Rules (if you can figure them out): Clock up as many posts and likes as you can! Nice use of colours, albeit lacking any graphics (not even a profile pic in sight). In summary, amusing little app that could have been a Crash Smash(TM) if done right. Now let see if Pete can get Mafia Wars and Farmville up and running. |
