WUDSN.com Site Relaunch


JAC!

Recommended Posts

After 4 weeks of hard work, the complete site www.wudsn.com is now up an running on Joomla. With a new and better content structure, faster loading, mobile compatible UI and built-in search I hope you will finally find your way to retro-coding in a visually appealing and understandble way. Thanks to Sven from the ABBUC for convincing me that a CMS is the best way to got and to Steffen for helping me in getting this up and running technically. All previous content including all news from the very beginning have been transferred. So if you find anything that's missing or broken, please contact me.

Lol, I thought it was suppose to say... Atari 2600 Atari 8-bit Amiga Falcon, wazzat at the bottom :woozy: ....

 

An observation, looks great on mozilla netscape firefox.... windows explorer won't display until you turn on the compatability button then you have to scroll down to see the stuff you want.

Looks excellent !!

 

But errm, some of your older work is still missing, like the old(er) Top-Magazine, Abbuc and PD-Mag intros, as well as a game (think it was a Tetris clone)...

What about these games:

 

- Starsquare: http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=3031

- Timezone (unfinished!): http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=5436

 

You could present them on your webpage as well... ;-)

Hi there,

thanks for the feedback. I'l have a look at the IE issue.
And of course I'll also check how C64 ended up in there ... ah, I just found I coded something for it :-)

 

@Andreas: Before the migration to Joomla, adding new stuff was a real pain. Now I'm confident, they will be added in future with reasonable effort.

The upgrade of Joomla together with some major rework looks a sucess now. IE works (in normal mode, here, now, how knows....)

 

In addition there are: http://www.wudsn.com/

  • new sections for VCS and PC (yes, I did THAT, too... :-)
  • Atari 8-bit section has Split into "Demos", "Games" and "Tools". Still a lot to do content wise, but the list of the evil things I did in the past show now be complete. Downloads, videos etc. will be added over time.
  • A nice article on analysis of demoscene productions my Canan Hastik
  • Tips and recommendations collection for coding stuff on the Atari

Hello Peter,

 

just noticed that the link for the 32bit version of the non installation package is not correct. You get the 64bit version instead :o

 

I could get it simply by copy and edit the given link (change 64 to 32).

Strange. I had fixed this before. Fixed it again now, thanks!

Sometimes a provider switch things just when you edit your page. This caused similar things to me a couple of years ago.

Looks like you triggered the update of Eclipse itself, not (only) of the WUDSN IDE plugin. And the error message suggests that something (maybe your virus scanner) doesn't like the change to "Eclipse.exe".

 

You can try selecing only the WUDSN IDE updates.

I have updated the zero installation distribution to Eclipse 4.3.2. So in case you face problems like this, you can simply download the latest bundle completely. That even takes less space on the hard drive than an update, because the old version is not in there. You can delete everything except the workspace folder before unpacking in this case.

 

See http://www.wudsn.com/index.php/ide/installation for details.

Works well for me on explorer 11 (winphone 8.1) and latest build of firefox on pc. No black background. Sometimes a little delay in menu, that's it.

Did you test on multiple browsers and versions within? The site is broken up, after a long load time home page, on the 8-bit Atari menu option. The formatting is pushed down, the black background makes the text almost impossible to read, etc.

Yes, I test with IE 9, Chrome & Firefox and on my Samsung S3. Maybe you have older parts in the cache still that need to be cleared. Also there's some Javascript inside (for the FB button etc.), that may be blocked by some plugin in your browser.

I'm a professional software developer specializing in web applications and security. So none of those would be the issue.

Have you validated your mark-up? The site loads slow with a 100+ Mb bandwidth.

IE 8 and 9 had issues (yes, 8 is very well used today, I still see 7 :( ).

If your site can't be used with versions, etc. you might want to sniff and tell them via a page.

 

Food for thought.
