Tokyo HackerSpace

OK, so you have wanted to make a game for a long time, but it has been very hard learning libraries and programming. Game Maker is an IDE(Intelligent Development Environment) that allows you to easily make games, it is suitable for beginners and experts, you can do much withought programming but if you really need programming, then you can use GML (a programming language similar to C can be used), this IDE is suitable for making all kinds of 2D games, from chess, to Pac-Man to Mario. During this 2 day (2 hours each day) we will learn how to make a Pac-Man clone.

Our usual weekly geekfest!

Show & Tell

This week will be a change of pace from our regular Tuesday meeting. We'll be holding the gathering at our new site in Shinjuku!

Address: Yamate Mansion 601
#601 19-5 Udagawa-cho Shibuya-ku

Map: (http://g.co/maps/kav5n)

In Japanese:
東京都渋谷区宇田川町19-5 山手マンション601

Entry is the apartment building lobby, which is a passage that goes underneath Yamate Church.

Topics discussed will be:
How easy was it to find here?
What are we going to do about a whiteboard?
Hey isn't this new place empty?

and a loud argument over who has the most tasteless jokes.

This is a study group for people in Tokyo Hackerspace that are interested in studying the art of cheesemaking at home. We'll be using store-bought milk and making cheese out of it using various techniques. We'll be doing both soft cheeses like cream cheese, feta, neufchatel, and mascarpone. We'll also be doing hard and semi-hard cheese like farmhouse cheddar, brie, camembert, and hopefully parmigiano (needs to be aged from 1-3 years so it's a bit questionable).

Hello fello' hakerz,

You know all hakerz need to eat, most need to drink beerz, right?
As a (relatively) good source for proteins (that will NEVER be turned into muscle if you are just glued to your screenz) is meat, mostly lean meat, specifically barbecued lean pork and chicken.

Tuesday night meeting Tonight we have a special guest presentation:The Bikini Lines project will raise money for Japan quake/tsunami orphans in Tohoku.The project involves painting a mural on one of the most unusual man made structures on Earth: The cactus dome. No. Not that sports arena... no no. The cactus dome was built over a nuclear test crater in the Marshall Islands (remember bikini atoll?) to contain radioactive materials previously scattered all across the Marshall Islands.
