Google debuts Code Search

google code searchGoogle released Code Search today. It is billed as the single location programmers can search for accessible code. Google Code Search can be searched using precise regular expressions, or restricted searches for particular languages or filenames can be performed. Google's code searcher crawls and indexes the web for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar, and .zip files. The idea for the code search came about from Google's internal code base search tool that was getting a lot of successful usage. The results from searches seem a little messy, and quite ugly, which might be a deterrent for some users, but could potentially be quite a useful tool for providing more insight into, and solving coding issues quicker.

Google's Open-Source Code Project Hosting

Google's Open-Source Code Project Hosting

Google dropped the word a little while ago about some Open Source Community thingy they were working on, and Greg Stein said that he was just putting the finishing touches on it. Well, it looks like it has been released.

The new service from Google is a hosting environment called Project Hosting, that allows developers to upload and store any open-source project code they have in their arsenal. It also allows those interested, to search and download open source codes in Python, C++, Java, Audio, XML, CSharp, Graphics, and many other formats.

Google Code allows users to create new projects under the new hosting environment, giving it a name, summary, description, assigning it a license, (if it is licensed), and labeling it with keywords. The online description together with the keywords, is how users will find the open source code on the Google Project Hosting website.

When a project is opened, It is displayed with the title, description, licenses, and labels. There are also links to Blogs, and Google Groups info on that particular open source code. A great job from Google to help open up and grow the open source community.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
