What I did today

CSS is driving me crazy at work today. I have an inline style which hides a div until some JS then shows it. Except it never shows. I can’t seem to override the inline styling, which is driving me crazy because I do it at about 30 other points in my page successfully.

Grumble grumble more ranting about how much I hate front end web development Grumble grumble

I have just programmed a small animation to Blox that is played before the level is changed.

This looks good right? Time to model some enemies.

P.S.: The quality loss is due to the GIF compression by LICECap, it looks good in the game.

Going home from Italy. I’m posting this from a plane!

First JGO Mile High Club entry hm?

Cas :slight_smile:

Today i finally condensed the head of a concept mob into a sprite

nods head

EDIT:

Or perhaps this is cooler…

I like the 2nd version a bit more :slight_smile:

I agree with PizzaCake, the second ones have more depth to them. Although the green one could use some more definition around it’s mouth in my opinion.

I think this depends on the background of the game. :slight_smile:

@TritonDreyja if you add a black pupil to the 1st version, the head probably will look improved…? 8)

@TritonDreyja If I were you, I’d add a yellow version with sunglasses on 8)

I’ve been trying to come up with a little idea for an app today for Android. I want to practice what I’ve learnt, add some features and try to get to the bones of the SDK. No idea what to make :clue:

audio is muted for reasons

Worked on menus. Added in statistical shaming to the death screen.

EDIT: sorry, video was private instead of unlisted for a minute :stuck_out_tongue:

haha it made me happy to see so many comments. the first version actually originally had a black pupil, but then the mobs started to look more like colored birds than digitally classed monsters… in my opinion.

As for what else i did today, i had to miss football so i made a tileset for my team’s first project.

Man, I suck so bad today.

Argh, TIFU by not realizing all morning that an Ajax call automatically parses return JSON. I was trying to manually parse the JSON but was getting a syntax error and was very confused.

Yay for automagical programming, saves me tons of time! :slight_smile:

Finally got screencasting software set up again, and started some “rough cuts” videos of Praxis LIVE v2 in action - here live Java coding and using annotations to create visual ports and controls.

Of course, even more fun when you start mixing in GLSL on-the-fly too, but you got to start somewhere! ;D

btw - 1080p on YouTube itself.

Found this great break down of how Supreme Commander does it’s graphics. Must-read for anyone wanting to know how AAA level RTS is done.

Saw hundreds of deer converge on a point due to a bug… but they didn’t get stuck!

Discovered Cowboy Bebop :smiley:
Edit: not entirely programming related but it is a pretty good anime

I watched Cowboy Bebop for 10 episodes. Then I discovered Trigun ;).
