segphault writes "Andy Bakun has written an excellent 20 page guide to game development with SDL_Perl for Ars Technica. The tutorial, which includes extensive code examples and plenty of screenshots, walks readers through the process of building a clone of the original Atari Kaboom! game." From the article: "One of the biggest benefits of using SDL is that it allows portable media applications to be written without having to be concerned with specific implementations of media libraries for each target platform. Bringing Perl into the picture takes the portability one step further, allowing media-rich applications to be written in a high-level language that can be targeted to a number of platforms. While programming using SDL requires knowledge of C and access to a C compiler, using SDL_perl does not. This greatly decreases the amount of time it takes to get something up on the screen and working."

Thanks to IGN Pocket for its hands-on reviews of the latest JAKKS classic 'TV game' devices, including the Ms.Pacman-starring Namco device and an unlicensed 'Classic Arcade Pinball' game combo, but, more importantly, the previously mentioned, much-awaited Atari Paddle 'TV game' ("...a fantastic follow-up to the company's Atari Joystick plug-and-play controller released two years ago.") There's also a retro expert's review on the Atari Age forums which indicates the Digital Eclipse-developed 2600 conversions are "a 180 degree turn around from the sloppy job of the [original DC Studios-produced joystick], and it's definitely something to put on your want/wish list." Finally, disappointed fans are addressed regarding the lack of Kaboom! on the 11-game compilation, explaining: "If it was an Activision Paddle Games Collection, then Kaboom would be included, but this was Atari owned titles only."

Daryl Carpenter writes "After months of grumbling and mild assaults, I finally vent my rage with this penultimate [ed. note: there will be another one?] assault on the cinematic drivel known as "U-571". Did he like it? I don't know. You be the judge.

Mike Van Pelt writes: "Right in the midst of the tensions surrounding the spy plane incident in China, military instruments detected a bright flash and a nearly Hiroshima-sized blast in the ocean off Los Angeles. Turns out it was a meteor. (nytimes.com requires free registration for access.)" Scary.

Karl Fogel writes "Ben Sussman and I have written a demo implementation of Ron Rivest's "Chaffing & Winnowing" algorithm, which we first heard about on Slashdot (it's now also mentioned in the July issue of Wired Magazine). Get the implementation or read Rivest's original paper The ciphertext output is designed to have an appearance closely resembling the packets discussed in Rivest's paper. I wouldn't use this package for your life-and-death, top-secret communications, but on the other hand it's a fun way to send semi-secret messages and use up a LOT of bandwidth in the process. Of course, it's GNU GPL'd, and -- as far as we know -- free of export restrictions. Enjoy!, -Karl Fogel "
