MY PROJECTS:
Dark Souls. If it were a PC game, this is pretty much how it’d play out.
But since I have the PS3 version, and I am too far away from the TV to smash my head into it, I have to settle for trying to twist my controller in half.
And so… that is why I am excited for the Wii U.
Just messing around.
Not sure what to name it… maybe…
Groovelad and Phat Dawg in Funkland 64: Curse of the Technicolor Beatbox
I am sorry, my beloved external hard drive.
But this is a burden you will have to bear.
Suddenly, a bunch of notes!
And to those of you sending me weird messages over steam and email (you know who you are): Is this a practical joke of some kind? If so, you’re doing a good job of freaking me out.
Something I like to do every once in a while is time myself at how fast I can make a semi-useful, simple, yet functional program.
Clocking in at two hours and thirty minutes is TheBigReveal.
There isn’t any program out there I know of that’s quite like it… What it allows you to do is quickly load a picture and turn it into a guessing game. It starts by covering your picture with a black square. You can reveal pieces of the square one at a time, or some random pixels, then save the picture quickly with a press of a key.
The applications are very limited, but an example of something you can do is use it to hold a contest. Reveal your picture little by little to the contestants, and whoever guesses what the picture is first wins. Maybe you can mix things up and let the contestants decide which tiles to reveal. Ordinarily, you’d have to muck about in layers in photoshop and the results would be inaccurate. TheBigReveal makes it VERY fast and VERY simple to set up a picture-guessing contest.
I can’t imagine many people would have a use for this, but I think what’s more important is that I saw an unfilled need, and filled it. In computer science, that counts as a success, I think.
