Mr Crabbys Beach Ball Adventure

Its a combination of Arkanoid, Breakout and Peggle using Box2d Physics it provides a unique gameplay experience.

I programmed the game using FlashDevelop and Adobe’s Flex API

The Menu Music, Losing Music and Winning music was made by Seven Acre Smile , you can listen to the full songs here http://www.myspace.com/thesevenacresmile

The Graphics were completed by Daniel Martin.

I decided to that my own site would be the primary sponsor of this game. You can play it now on my Flash Game Portal LingoLux.com amoungst other places on the internet.

I shall talk more about LingoLux in the future.

I’ve had this little card for ages but since I’ve been using vista 64bit i’ve been unable to use my Yuan pd300 (dvb2go)  stick…

The Yuan site is terrible and has no links to any sort of drivers…. and from what i remembered they even required a cdkey to use their drivers/software!!!

But i read that the Freecom DVB-T and Yakumo DVB-T usb sticks were very similar and that other people had been using the drivers for the other product in XP.

So searching for Yakumo drivers gave me no luck at all but Freecom do provide Vista 64bit drivers for their DVB-T!

You can get them here.   But they will not work out of the box for your Yean PD300 you will need to edit the BDA_Loader_220A_x64.inf file.

under [WT220Uer.NTamd64]

add in

%WT220Uer.DeviceDesc%=LOADER.Device, USB\VID_14AA&PID_0220

then plug in your Yuan pd300

Then

Control panel > Device Manager

select the unrecognised usb device (your TV card)

install drivers and point them to the directory containing your BDA_Loader_220A_x64.inf file (you don’t need the 225 drivers)

and there you go! drivers for your DVB2Go stick!

Alternatively you can download the drivers here! (rar file)
