Why Storm-8 sucks

Those games are just waaaaay too easy, for instance, this game you can reach level 200.
You can build some troops etc... w.e. well the developers FAILED. Apparently they didn't think that a user could get past 32767 units! wich is quite a lot for a level 20 guy but
was pretty easy to reach in the end.
I do not have their code to proof this, but I do have calculations!
short = 2 bytes, = 16 bits. 2 to the power of 16 = 65536
if we devide 65536 by 2 we get 32768 (looks familiar no?). You think, but thats 1 more!
exactly, we also can have a 0 now don't we? meaning 32767 is MAX.
if they had used an usigned int they would've been able to store 65535 units, no they were so retarted to
think that no one would reach this and that you can have negative amount of troops??

90+ hours of developing and 7000 lines code gives..

Yup, we're getting closer to releasing BlackFire 1.3 Featuring ingame chat.

New site layout

This site has more potential then only hosting a forum.. so I decided to change the layout and change the way
things work, I will post a few tools / Mac apps that can be downloaded in the downloads section.
Also there will be a place for developers to read documentation about certain aspects of BlackFire.

• Fixed a crash related to changing your font in the preferecnes window
• You can now litteraly block xfire users, they won't be able to start a chat with you

release 1.2.5, wich should be released sometime this week.

New beta version
Today I released version 1.2, the most important things of this version include:
• BlackFire now supports more games than any other xfire client for Mac (MacFire,iFire,xBlaze,iFlare)
• BlackFire now handles chat rooms, you can even create ones and invite people to them
• The server list now supports add / remove
• Better UI
• Faster login
• Faster launch (=> smoother)
• Less overal RAM usage

New beta version
This one features chat room support, you can accept / decline / create / join / chat, but you cant
invite or kick or handle user permissions just yet, coming in next version. Download →

Chat room development
Chat rooms are coming along nicely, currently working on supporting receiving messages, together with the capability of sending messages. Accept / Decline / Create / Join is already working.

BlackFire 1.2 update
It has been a while since the last update for BlackFire. In stead of being version 1.1.3 it is going to be version 1.2 It will support chat rooms and the server list is (fully) functional now as you can add / remove servers to it, I think it will take a week or 2 for me to finish this version and release it.
