And School Begins again

I was really looking forward to finishing my game before the next semester started, now i gotta work on math way to often to be able to give my game proper attention. It's a sad day, i realize i won't be able to work on my game for awhile :(


I also want to do a sidescroller by the end of the year but i don't want to work on it until this game is done.. soooo~ That's that.The rate at which this game is shaping up as is, forgetting the low amount of attention it will be receiving i don't have much hope for finishing this game by the end of the year let alone manage to finish another game. But i'm not giving up. It may happen all the same.

The classes i'm going to start taking aren't to be triffuled with though.. Calculus, Data structres and Modular math. Gonna be lots of fun this semester! :D ... .. . not really. But i gotta get through it. and i would like to Ace my classes..

Hopefully i can get some work on the game in, on the weekends or whenever i have a bit of free time, but i won't make as much progress sadly.. Or i could just switch what used to be my "Web Development Day" into a "Game Development Day" That way i'm more likely to get some work done.

Cattack Progress

I've added stars and sounds when you explode things up :)

The death animations still need to.. be put into existence.. because they don't exist yet.. things just *pop* out of existence.. ergh explode and turn invisible? Yeah that's not good. Plus the ships need to be bigger.. bombs too.

I planned on using Affine Transformations to make them bigger, but lets face it. it's my first game just going to take the easy route and make the pictures bigger for now. should only make a few kilobyte difference for now. and since it's already like a meg after adding the stupid native libraries it shouldn't make a big difference.

The game can be found: here

Blog with an Iframe!

admittedly this looks kinda dumb right now.. if i can't get it to look right i'll probably end up going back to the old blog.. which isn't really convenient.. and i don't really want to do that >_>

If i recall correctly there's a whole "community" for iframes, so i'd imagine this is a feasible way to do it.. but when i looked around for finding a way to put an rss feed into a website. Php seemed pretty popular..

A lot of the tools that take care of the work part of displaying an rss feed only showed the titles.. which isn't what i want.. ideally i only want the latest post to be showing..  This all should be possible with php, and although our webserver allows php.. i'm not that good with it >_> Plus it's just something i don't want to spend any more time fiddling with.

Cowboys and Aliens

Went and saw it, It was great!

Jake our main character was played by the guy who was the new "James Bond" did a fantastic job playing the main character. Felt like i was watching a Clint Eastwood flick. Harrison Ford and the Fireworks guy from Joe Dirt were also in it.

Although Harrison Ford wasn't playing the good guy like you might expect.. although i'd have a hard time calling anyone in this movie "the good guy". Maybe there's some deeper message here? Bunch of bad guys doing good things, my kind of movie really. Deadpool-esque in a way.

Cowboys and Aliens was a general shoot em' up with some serious parts. Basically what you expect to see when you throw on a western, tough guys shooting at each other, whiskey, cards, Preachers and Indians.  Except there were aliens in it so expect a little bit of future tech.

The movie was pretty awesome, i'd give it a 10/10. It's worth seeing in theaters.
