a halloweeny themed burgertime clone
check it out http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/516468
please vote if you like it :o
a collaborative effort between http://www.i-mockery.com, http://www.thepoxbox.com and myself. me.com
i stayed up til 6am to see this thing done by halloween morning. with only a few weeks to do the actual coding i had a lot of late nites :< there's a bit of a story behind this project, the original programmer mysteriously vanished. or bailed onnit i forget. an i had to take it up from scratch a couple weeks into october. i didn't get a chance to include everything i originally wanted, but i think it was a good effort for the timeframe i was given. also due to my sleepyness and frustrations i made it extremely difficult, though still less difficult than the original burgertime :o but i was talked into including an easy mode in the last 20minutes before official go
happy hallowed ween :o

just a post of update
i gots some new boots cuz mine were talkin. these hav goretex in them its great :o it's like all th comfort of gore in a convenient texture.
i've had a vid i made for the demonattack song for a while. i made it in flash but converted for use on youtube also. flash version looks better and has slightly better timing but this wasn't a huge undertaking or anything so youtube is oki.
made first song since gulu, so it's been about a year or so i'd guess. at the moment it's just uploaded at http://www.rainbowcemetery.com/rainbow_cemetery-theme_of_the_shadows.mp3 maybe i'll put it on the myspace later i hav one of them i forgot.
laptop hd died but that's no biggie i'd expect it from a laptop. i got a new hd for 50$ an it seems to be workin fine, an now i have one thats bigger than 20g so i can put a lil more stuff on there. id like to get a good map prog for when i hafta goto areas outside the coverage of aero atlas that'd be handy.
anythin else um.. prolly. maybe work will slow down now and i can spend more time on secret projects to keep me far away from social interaction

i was kinda late to the party on this one, i wanted to make an easter themed something, but i really only had one whole day to do it. the result is a short simplistic horizontal shooter that's vaguely parodic of old timey biblethemed games.

http://www.rainbowcemetery.com/easter09.htm
unfortunately sheezyart has some stupid submission page that won't let me set a preview image for any game i ever made so i guess i'll just check them every couple months to see if they decide to stop bein dumb. how complicated does it hafta be.
also every time i make somethin i look at deviantart like maybe i'll put somethin there :o but they have a submission policy crafted by satan arg. just because they're not likely to gank your stuff an sell it without tellin you doesn't mean i should give them permission to do it.
happy easter :O

i wanted to have sprites with irregular hitboxes tha can be rotated but i couldn't come up with what i would feel is a good solution. i ended up putting rects on each frame over any hit areas and using getrect to do an intersection check. but this feels gross certainly someone has a better idea :o i don't even know why that works what would happen if it wasn't limited to rotating at only 90degree angles would flash explode?
the point is new iconn

i've had this persistent problem with rotation in flash, most languages let you set a rotation center, but actionscript doesn't. it'll always rotate around the 0,0 coordinate of the clip, and if you wanted to rotate around the center you'd have to position the graphic halfway into the negative end of the x and y axes. while the looks are right, you'll forever be forced to compensate for the fact that it's positionally skewed. this was annoying to me :< but then i had this idea to put the graphics skewed to center on the 0,0 point in one clip, and then put that clip in another clip, where it was positionally corrected. position done by the host clip, rotation and graphic changes done by the parasitic child clip. and it works great :O i'm puttin this here on the internet cuz i know everyones gonna do it this way from now on an im makin my contribution to the combined knowledge of all mankind. if that's too nerdy for you you can watch this thing off youtubes

i mentioned before in a longwinded retrospective about my history in regards to programming and game design, my first ever effort was a simple text adventure that played like a poorly written choose-your-own-adventure book. except every choice but the right one was almost always instantly fatal. i've looked at it again pretty recently, there's tons of typos, the kind you might expect from a 10 yearold like i was. i wouldn't dare correct them though. it's part of the charm
i mention it cuz i was looking thru an ancient hd and found some of the source code from projects i was working on in the age range of 15-17. ever since i made my first game, i was constantly revisiting it, trying anything to make it more graphical. eventually i had some crude turtle drawn pictures, and for a short time i did something kind of unexpected. i had actually forgotten about it til now. i had a bootleg version of some 3d rendering software, it was super low end for the brainless so i picked up it pretty easily. and i used it to try and make a short rendered movie for each area and death sequence ingame. i didn't even get halfway thru before i got bored and thats too bad :< it actually doesn't look as terrible as i mighta thought. unfortunately the sound and movie playing controls were made for win95 and i really didn't want to devote that much time into just fixing ancient problems. here's an experiment though, i made a video about it in a fusion of my two favorite things; being a nerd and talking about it at length.

i went to the windows update site an it gave me this message sayin they don't have nothing for macs. no support for your products fu :O it's kinda fun for nostalgia but man it's irritating to navigate. i made the bg a lowres red chainlink bridge cuz its like silenthill up in here

billybird has successfully been ported to flash, and with it i feel like i have a good working grasp of actionscript for future applications.
not much different from the silverlight version, a few bugfixes, fullscreen mode was removed and i replaced the description of game mechanics with a slightly more visually appealing tutorial to help everyone become billybird experts.
you dont even hafta download nothin anymore jus click a link. you can do it. for me :o

i decided to go ahead and learn flash since im having good luck learning things. all tha stuff is basically the same except for syntax. i makes a note of stuff i needa remember here
( drone.. )
things i still needa kno:
xmlreader
sound
sending and receiving data from an outside script page
localstorage? nothin i have in mind uses it but..
uri filestreams
preloading
random number generation
stop hating stupid {}{}{} brackets
how to be awesome
that doesnt sound like much i musta forgot something..
im on flash learning day2 i feel pretty good.
edit- i dont see any way to do enumeration. barf there goes convenience
imports inside the package for the main class dont apply to additional classes
needa avoid any references to 3dspace like rotationZ. the swf will still play in flash9 without any warnings but that stuff won't do anything an i'll look the fool.
max fps seems to be 64~
people will think im great when i make things in flash instead of other things

MY VIDCARD
sry i was playing with the stuff i mades in qbasic a million years ago. everythin i did needed to be in caps. earlier versions of basic tha i used like ti-basic didnt have lowercase letters so i kinda associated it..
my vidcard wont do 640x350 :< outside of dosbox anyway. this was the screen mode i was using for fullscreen stuff in qbasic.
cept i dint know it was fullscreen, and up until a couple hours ago i prolly didnt know at all why i put SCREEN 9 on the top of everythin beyond tha it was in all examples of drawing shapes witha turtle. it wasnt really that bad a language. i could make a vector game innit or somethin. :o but not now, i hafta gather everything i ever made for some reason

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...
i cant resist people asking me questions now i hafta pay up

well i learned some new stuff today. while i was chopping up an ethernet cable to rewire it asa crossover to share wireless with desktop#2 i had a good idea for fixing the fullscreen mode for billybird. it looks pretty nice now! i think so anyway. if you give the usercontrol a name in xaml you can change its margin within the host object in code which should be obvious to me since i think im so smart. if youre in fullscreen when you get to highscore entry itll automatically boot you out to normal size cuz silverlight dumps any keyboard event handling in fullscreen. the docs say "This limitation of keyboard input during full-screen mode is a security feature, and is intended to minimize the possibility of unintended information being entered by a user." but i unno. seems bogus
also i was gonna put silverlight on my frankenstein duron850 but apparently amd was slow on the uptake for enabling SSE so 8~yearold cpus won't work with it. i want more compatibility not less :<
anyway heres a gameplay vid i made to help people understand the basics cuz im not good at explaining things.
