Dark Labyrinth HTA GUI

Dark Labyrinth Server mode

Dark Labyrinth Console mode

Dark Labyrinth

Dark Labyrinth is a small console game I created while learning C. It is very loosely based upon the Labyrinth text adventure game from back in the late 70s. It uses an easy to edit flat file db for the rooms and objects, although the demo game is a little lacking in creativity. It can be run in console mode TUI for non visual persons, or in server mode with a HTA VBScript GUI.

You can download it here and test it if you wish =) Let me know what you think.

Automated Silent Install

I am creating the base for an "Automated Silent Install System" for Windows. This used to be an easy task back before UAC, and was really as simple as witting up a batch script to call your favorite software installers with the silent install switch enabled. Since the introduction of UAC and other security enhancements this is now a little more trick to do, but still easily done with the right tools =)

This an example of a batch command using the Silent switch to install 7-Zip:

START "" /WAIT "Extra Programs\7-Zip v9.20.exe" /S (You will notice the /S for "Silent")

You can find some install switches by invoking the installer from the command line with the /? or -help switch. For many others you may need to get the list of install switches from the creator, for example NSIS. Another alternative is to use a tool such as "Ultimate Silent Switch Finder (USSF) to find the silent install switches directly from the installer. You can see some common switches listed here http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.php

Dealing with the UAC pop up during a silent install.... (Content to come)

Coders Desktop

Coders Desktop is an experimental desktop replacement for Windows and ReactOS. It is very much alpha and requires a great deal more work before it is usable. Coders desktop is based upon AutoIt3 Scripting and emulates a traditional windows style desktop, start menu and task tray. It will be designed to interact smoothly with AutoIt, Scite, a GNU C/C++ Compiler stack as well as some other small dev tools found in the Windows environment.
