Puzzle Game in VLC

Yo, now most of us like games. I really do. Most of have VLC Media Player to play videos. But, did you know that you can combine the two.

No, it's no joke. VLC comes with a setting with which you can transform any video into an interactive puzzle game. The steps are pretty simple. So, here is the how-to:

• Start VLC Player
• Play any video file
• Click on Tools
• Click on Effects and Filters (or you can just press Ctrl + E)
• Click on Video Effects tab
• Click on Geometry Tab

 

• See, that there is tick box for Puzzle Game
• Tick that Box
• Press Close
• Pause the video and play the puzzle.

The puzzle has to be played with the mouse. To play the video, just un-pause the video. As simple as that. Now, you can play a simple puzzle with your favorite movie characters.

Here is a screenshot of me playing puzzle to "42 Ways to Die in Minecraft". I did this on Windows, so if this does not work out for you, then please comment.

Thanks for reading and as always please comment.

Play Tetris on uTorrent

Yep, You read that right. uTorrent is the most populer (as far I know) torrent client, used by thousands of people world wide to download mostly anything from torrent sites.

We are not here to discuss the pros and cons of uTorrent. We are here to play tetris on it.
Yup, it sounds weird but it is true. So, here is the how-to:

• Start uTorrent
• Click on Help
• Click on About

• Now click inside the About dialog box
• Press "t" and start playing tetris

So, now you can play tetris while waiting for your download to complete. A good way to pass the time. Tetris can be played with the arrow keys but you cannot drop tiles with spacebar (so don't press spacebar). I have used Windows, so if this does not work, then please comment.

As Always, Thanks for reading and please comment.

Turn your Web Browser into a Calculator

Hey, there. I know I have been gone a long while now. College. But, I still surfed the net and for you guys found a new neat trick.

As the title tells you can convert your web browser into a handy calculator. Now, don't go jumping and start finding complex calculations. I mean, dude, it does not go beyond a simple calculator. So, without further ado, here is the how-to (rhymes):

• Start your web browser
• Start console (If there are many consoles, just start any one. I used Web Console.)
• Now, just do your calculations..

I just tested it out with firefox portable. Now, I am gonna list shortcuts to open the console for the three most commonly used web browsers. Sorry, can't list them all.

For Firefox, press Ctrl + Alt + K

For Google Chrome, press Ctrl + Alt + J

For Opera, press Ctrl + Alt + I

If you are using the Mac Keyboard, then replace Ctrl with Command.

As Always, thanks for reading and please comment. If I have made a mistake, then please let me know by commenting below.
