Has anybody beat the Walking Bombs game in Crazy Party yet? It's the
only game I haven't unlocked now, and at the moment it appears I am

Hi,
I haven't used the network section of Klango for a very long time (at

I have, however, done a test to see what you can do with Klango without

recreational apps,

I know BGT is no longer an option...Hence one of the reasons I've been

or can't stand.

It seems that more and more BGT games are being flagged by many major

Hi,
My thoughts on that.
1. JS is very hard.
Despite many people saying how easy it is, and despite reading many
tutorials, I just can't grasp this idea of anonymous functions, nested
functions and the like, and that's just while learning JS itself.
Unfortunately, all that seems to be
Hi there,
Now you mention it, that is also true. I don't think I've had any
problems with the playroom client, but I did have a problem with
something else, think it was DictationBridge or something totally
unexpected like that.
It's rather sad that it targets so many legitimate programs,
le TDV is a
flight sim, it’s different than Eurofly so you can’t really call it a
simulator per say, but it did get the physics right that Eurofly did not.

That may well be your opinion. I know a lot of people who are Mac lovers,

Agreed. Seems odd that, for ages, the only really feasible platform to

For what my opinion's worth, I would suggest C or C++, all the way, 100%.

regularly maintained (always a plus), is its inherent ability to package
scripts
Anyways, I don't want to start a programmers' pissing contest, just
