Cruise for a Corpse - vintage adventure game

I found this awesome adventure game vintage adventure game and playing it at DosBox (MS-DOS emulator). Although I know who the murderer is, it's fun and relaxing to play again one of my youth favorites adventure game.

You take the role of a private investigator. You are invited aboard a cruise by a wealthy friend of yours 'Nicklos Karaboujan' aboard. But the night the cruise begins the Nicklos is murdered. You have 24 hours to find the murderer before the ship reaches it's next destination.

It was hours of mystery and fun! I strongly urge you to play it.

Babylon 5 (awsome)

Just finished watching Babylon 5 season 3. Can't wait for season 4.

I know it's an old series, but is the best sci-fi series I have seen so far.

Plot is awsome. And is full of philosophical, political, religious messages and food for thought.

And finally Space Opera by all its means.

I recommend it to anyone (sci-fi fun or not).

Book: Pro HTML5 Games

I started the following book on game development based on HTML5.

Starter UML tools

>Programming

I just started playing around with UML notation, in order to be able to write down and visualize my Object Oriented Programming ideas.

I found the following utility a good start. StarUML.

I mainly use it for creating Class notes and documentation, Class diagrams and Collaboration diagrams.

I also use OpenOffice Draw, to create flow-charts for describing my object methods
