In an effort to know more (anything) about game programming, I've started writing a Dr. Mario clone. Every time I add the next "feature" I practically have to rewrite the entire thing because I'm not thinking far enough ahead

(yay I finally have something to post here) I spent a while after I graduated putting together a fridge magnet poetry type thing. Basically, it provides you with all the different parts of grammar, and you use them to produce instant Dada art. Now I just need to figure out why it should exist... The most interesting part was dealing with verb conjugation. After trying to do it programmatically (gently caress English ), I just said gently caress it and screen scraped an ESL site. [edit] god dammit I thought I'd scaled that down. I'm sorry.

TwystNeko I feel your pain. Clever examples!= good documentation. Just posted a video of my first iPad app. Been working on this with some people who originally hired me for some web development work. It's been an interesting few months, the code is an abortion because I had to learn Cocos2d and Chipmunk as I went, but it's shaping up well. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=2008897867964 There isn't a whole lot to do at the moment, but it's essentially a doll house. For 4 year old girls. Apparently apps for preliterate children is a big thing now?

KBD posted:Does your employer look like this? No, one of the guys there has a 4 year old daughter who loves playing with his iPad, and he realized that all of the games he buys for her are loving terrible abortions of games. But they still sell really well, because parents are retarded. So we're trying to make something better. To be fair, I've never ACTUALLY met this supposed daughter, so who knows.

Made a web app called unsubscribr that goes through your email (gmail only for right now, working on Yahoo Mail) and picks out all of the bulk mail. It then gives you a list of results so you can unsubscribe from them really quickly. hell yeah I'd love to try this. mjvotaw at gmail.com [edit] nvm, I see you've set the cost to free while it's in beta.

I always feel odd posting in here, because I always seem to post after the "here's some awesome 3d raytracing I just did for funsies" guy. Anyway, instead of doing the work I'm getting paid to do, I decided to finish up a small project I'd started a few months ago. After bitching and complaining about the onscreen keyboard provided by Netflix, I finally decided to see if I could do it any better. Not that this would change Netflix or anything, but now when I'm bitching about it, I can say for certain that there is a better way. http://www.doublebeatshowcase.com/CK So I'm trying out keyboard layouts for use with controller-style input. I know this certainly isn't the best layout, but so far it's quicker than trying to use the QWERTY version. Any suggestions? I think what I need to do is try to line up the most common 3-letter sets, next. I didn't bother trying this is firefox, but it works fine in Chrome. God, I don't think I've ever taken a white-people problem so far before.

Welp I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot. I spent last week implementing a Beatmania IIDX sim in html5 canvas, in celebration of 5/11 (5.1.1. is a "famous" song in the series, as it's been in all 20 versions of the game. Every year I try to make as big of a deal out of it as reasonably possible, because I think it's funny how not a real holiday it is to most people on Earth). I'm kind of surprised there wasn't already a canvas music-game sim, at least none that I could find.

Careful Drums posted:Another screenshot, and hey I released the first version up to Azure! I'm amazed that with azure you can just give it a Git repo and it will do all the deploy for you. Now all I have to do is find some not lovely music to put on it. Yeah soundcloud can be pretty hit or miss, but I like the idea in general. I would suggest adding some volume controls if you can (I have freakishly sensitive hearing, and soundcloud is always way too loud for my liking).
