Works on the original version of Pac-Man, the MAME emulator version, and I’m told, the XBox 360 version.

Cherry pattern special instructions:
0:23 - press up until you see the 800, then press left.
0:40 - press right before you see the 400
1:07 - press right as soon as you see the 800
1:19 - press left as soon as you see the 800

Plasma To Support OS X Dashboard Widgets

syncomm — Sun, 01 Jan 2006 19:11:41 +0000

Zack Rusin of KDE has announced KDE4 will have full support for widgets from OS X’s Dashboard.

I finally got most the implementation of the HTML Canvas element for KHTML finished. It’s in the kdelibs-js branch in SVN. After George/Maks merge their other changes we’ll merge it to HEAD. I’m planning to add full OSX Dashboard compatibility layer for Plasma (hence why I’ve spent most of the day yesterday on implementing the Canvas element).

Also, new background rendering code has been checked into SVN that will allow “layered” backgrounds, panoramas, animated backgrounds (ala E17), and more!
