Back in the early days when I was beginning to explore Rev and was doing a good bit of Python work, I remember experimenting with calling Python scripts from Rev using the shell() command and having some success. I suspect that approach has some real potential when we want to do things in Rev t

I posted an early alpha version late last year on the revolution list. Now Im proud to announce that the game has been completed and released on my website.

Bug reports in standalones

This looks like a great facility but I haven't found any instructions about how to use it. For example, can I get the text of the error to appear on the screen? How is the email feature implemented (I didn't seem to get any of the emails)? The 'save report to file' is working well, but I'd just

Rev, sockets, IP Multicast Part II

In part one, I briefly explained one reason why it would be native to have support for IP multicast in Rev - it provides very clean, easy solutions for certain types of problems. But how can we use IP Multicast when Rev doesn't support it ? [Remember - we can send multicast packets - it's only r
