WinRT: getting a reference to files in the project Posted: 18 Jan 2013 01:29 AM PST In Windows Store Apps, you might often need to get a reference to some files that you included in the application package via managed code. To accomplish this, you need an instance of the System.Uri and using a new format that is specific to WinRT. For instance, supposing you have an image file inside a folder called Images of your project, in managed code you get a reference like this: Dim img As New Uri("ms-appx:///ProjectName/Images/MyImage.png") You use the msappx:/// format followed by the root namespace, the folder name (optional), and the file name. It is important to specify the root namespace (even though not mandatory) because in this way you will be able to reference other items belonging to other projects in the solution, which are still part of the application package.

Tabletop games and the thousand-year game design challenge Posted: 18 Jan 2013 01:00 AM PST Daniel Solis (@danielsolis), an art director by day and game designer by night, describes what sets ancient games apart from the ones sold in today's market. Beyond big boxes, colorful pieces, and lots of noise, ancient games employ three main criteria: access, elegance, and fun. Access—across language and geographic barriers. Elegance—applying a few rules that are easily understood but take a long time to master. And fun—we all know about that. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
Why some governments are struggling with open source implementation Posted: 17 Jan 2013 11:00 PM PST Observing the open source public policy landscape over the past several months, one couldn't be blamed for feeling optimistic. Government after government, it seemed, was stepping up and laying the ground work for public-sector adoption and private-sector growth of open standards and open source software (see articles on France, the UK, Portugal, and the US). Even the Vice President of the European Commission, Neelie Kroes, gave a full-throated endorsement of open source in late December. |
