Sometimes we think that old game genres like SHUMP, 2D platformers, beat’em up and such are gone, dead, replaced by fanciful 3D RPG, RTS and turb-baed games. Well, Trine isn’t one of them. It is an excellent 2D platformer, but uses 3d graphics for characters, backgrounds and the environment, and blend all those elements into a glorious looking game which is immersive and haunting. Here’s a link to a gameplay video.

In daytime, I work with C++. When it comes to night, I have to struggle with PHP; meanwhile I am learning Actionscript 3 and Javascript scripting for Unity3D. It’s no wonder that I begin to write code like this:

 
#include_once("config.php");

public class MyClass : public MyInterface
{
  public function __construct($initialData : array)
  {
     $this->initialData = $initialData;
     for (int i = 0; i < count($initialData); i++)
     {
             ....
     }
}

Someone help me, please!
