[Installing Starcraft I from SCII USB Stick]

Games Added on 16/01/2012

I bought Starcraft II Wings of Liberty Collector's edition quite some time ago but only recently wanted to install Starcraft I that came on the Raynor's dog tag USB stick included in the SC II box. However, the problem was that I copied the contents of the stick onto my machine when I bought the game and formatted the USB drive in order to use it - well as a USB drive. When I wanted to install SC I from my hard-drive, the registration code was nowhere to be found.

After searching on forums, I realised that the code was tied to the USB drive somehow and is only pre-filled if the installation is ran from it. A member of Blizzard support wrote to me that because I formatted my USB stick, I wouldn't be able to install the game.

Fortunately, despite the fact that the stick was formatted a number of times before, I copied the original installation files back onto it and it worked! So, if Blizzard support comes back to you with panicking messages, pay no attention, just copy the SC I installation files back. Also, register your key on the Blizzard web site just in case. This should allow you to download SC I without having to rely on the USB drive.

Stardust Colonies

 Stardust Colonies is a strategy game in which player-controlled units are aware of and affected by both their own memory and preferences, as well as by their colony's well-being.

Alien Strike

 Alien Strike was an addictive copter shooter game sold on iTunes during 2009 and 2010, where you flew a UFO and fought against the futuristic Earth. The movement was controlled by holding a finger on the screen in order to go up, while the default UFO movement was to fall down. Player had the ability to shoot and drop bombs to watch the earthlings explode.

Space Invaders

 Space Invaders was one of my assignments in the second year of my Undergraduate study. It is coded in C++ and uses OpenGL and DirectX for rendering. This simple 2D shooter is based on the original Space Invaders game and adds some interesting new features.

Galactic War

 Become a space ship pilot in Galactic War and shoot the enemies moving in front of you. You can choose from one of the three modes: bullet- restricted, time-restricted and infinite game.

pyCreeper

 The main purpose of pyCreeper is to wrap tens of lines of python code, required to produce graphs that look good for a publication, into functions. It takes away your need to understand various quirks of matplotlib and gives you back ready-to-use and well-documented code.
