Krugle - the developer's search engine

by David Chartier Jul 30th 2006

Krugle - your place to find code and technical content

Search engines are great, but what if you're a developer looking for very specific results: code, and sites about code? A new search engine called Krugle might just be the answer. It offers three separate search options: one for code, another called 'Tech Pages' for code documentation, forums and knowledgebase articles, and a third called 'Projects' which, as you might guess, helps developers track down open source projects. Users can even specify which language they're working with and whether they want to filter results from code comments, function calls, class definitions and more.

While I am no developer, this looks like a great tool for the code ninjas amongst us. Krugle is even hiring, too. Are there any DLS readers who have a developer alter-ego? Sound off if you think Krugle is doing you any good.

I'll have to test this one out, till now I've been using a nice source code search engine called Koders ( http://www.koders.com/ ) it would be nice if someone who have used both can share their experiencies, I'll come to check out the comments again :) Thanks for the tip on Krugle.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
