Topic: Egoboo


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Egoboo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Egoboo is a colloquial expression for the pleasure received from public recognition of voluntary work.
As a result of this, in later years, the term grew to mean something akin to an ephemeral currency - "I got a lot of egoboo for editing that newsletter".
The term later spread into the open source programming movement, where the concept of non-monetary reward from community response is a key motive for many of the participants.

 Welcome to the website of Egoboo Limited
Egoboo handle all stages of web design and development, and we are able to assist in securing rare generic domain names which are either unregistered, unused, or expired.
The name Egoboo is short for Ego Boost which describes everything or anything which makes a person feel they have gained a boost in recognition or felt praise from their peers for a task well done.
Egoboo is able to benefit from this fact because it has licensed the use of unique and valuable generic domain names which already attract substantial traffic, and by their generic natural are ranked higher in search engine results.

Other map-making tools for Egoboo are also available and in development, including EgoMap, which adds random level generation to the game.
To those interested in modifying the Egoboo code to create an entirely different type of game, Bishop warns that the learning curve for the engine is pretty steep.

 LinuxDevCenter.com -- Egoboo Developer Interview
Editor's Note: Ben and Aaron Bishop are the creators of Egoboo, the subject of an earlier article entitled "Egoboo: The Cute Way to Dungeon Role Play." They graciously agreed to talk to the O'Reilly Network about what they've learned from writing their game.
Cartman was one of the first things I did for Egoboo, and at the time that was the easiest way to do it.
Egoboo seems to be more popular in non-English speaking countries, despite the fact it has no multilingual support.

 What is Egoboo?
Egoboo is a top down rpg in the spirit of Nethack and other games of the Roguelike genre.
A return to DirectX would mean two things for this incarnation of Egoboo: first, the alienation of users of platforms other than Windows, and second, some significant backporting -- or outright reversal -- of the work that has happened since the initial port.
Of course, since Egoboo is under the GPL liscense, you're perfectly welcome to make a DirectX port yourself.

The source code is located in http://svn.csusm.edu/jfischer/egoboo/trunk/src, so if that's what you're interested in I'd appreciate if you sync to that location, so that you don't download the whole game at once.
I had to step away from a lot of things (including egoboo) so that I could get a bit further along in what I need to know in order to help out in not just egoboo but also the open source game world in general.
I haven't yet started fiddling or examining the source for either zippy or egoboo, but I will start rolling into the code within a few months time and along with some other things this should result in just a bit more progression of egoboo.

The mysterious programmer X (he is too shy to use his own name) decided it would be cool to do his own graphic rogue-like.
He is now working on his next big project, which we will probably link from the egoboo page when it is complete (no, he isn't giving a release date).
I don't feel that great about Egoboo, because I feel like it could be so much better without that much extra effort.

Known in the exchange business as "egoboo", this is a psychological force to be reckoned with.
For many egoboo exchange members, it is the driving reason they become such prolific contributors.
There are even a significant number of egoboo exchanges helping members with questions far beyond computer and IT issues, delving into everyday concerns such as raising your children, hobbies and crafts, and do-it-yourself projects.

Alas, the church is filled with beaver egoboos who love to cut others down to size and then live off the debris their falling has caused.

 Jonathan's Blog: December 2005
While I actually was working on Egoboo, I felt a built guilty about working on my own branch of the 2.22 code, and not contributing to Zippy.
So I didn't want to work on Zippy, but I don't want to compete against it either; it's Elmin's baby, and not something I'd try and outdo, even if I were able to.
So rather than continue on the path I was going with Egoboo 2.22, I'm going to do something of my own.

 Wired 8.07: Revenge of the Know-It-Alls
Science fiction fanzines have a word for the rush you get when you see your name in print: egoboo (short for ego boost).
A distant predecessor of Usenet, the fanzine got its start in the late 1920s, when the sci-fi magazine Amazing Stories began running a letters column in which readers discussed the scientific principles behind the pulp mag's tales.
You might say that the Internet is an infinitely complex system for the commercial exploitation of egoboo, where - on dozens of new "knowledge exchange" Web sites like Epinions - people are offering up their opinions and answering questions on everything from setting up a Web server to comparison shopping for inflatable sex dolls.

In the NaNoWriMo excerpt I wrote this weekend, my characters were avoiding doing anything by debating why "tricky questions" are so prevalent during interviews.
I've had enough of these questions that I think that's a load of dingo's kidneys.
What seems more plausible is the interviewer wants you to get close enough to their pet answer (and there is a preferred answer) so they can have a little egoboo helping you finish the last part.

Some of the allusions in The Enchanted Duplicator will be clearer if one knows a bit of fanhistory.
For example, it is useful to know that Mari Wolff, during her stint as a fanzine reviewer in the prozine IMAGINATION, doled out egoboo with heedless abandon, or that many fans used Swift Printers in the early 1950s.
Still, the spirit of the work is just as strong today as when it was first published, and a failure to understand a few random bits of esoterica won't lessen your enjoyment.
