Eriq’s Blag

Especially when it doesn’t get done.

Shooter 4

Fuck yes! Here’s another version of the game I’m working on:

AWSD to move, mouse aims and shoots.

Shooter V3

I really want to keep working on it, but I’ve already wasted half the day and I have yet to study for finals…witch are bullshit since they don’t really test your knowledge, only how much you can cram into your skull the day before. Although, most test I take do show my understanding because I don’t study all that much.

I got some ideas for a shooter game. It’s gonna be similar to the one I made a while back, but better. Click to shoot.

Shooter 2

Huzzah! Hopefully I’ll think of something to make, because I really want to program. If I can’t think of anything to make in Flash, then maybe I’ll add stuff to the site, and if I can’t think of anything for that, then I’ll just watch TV.

I have an idea for a wee database-driven app called Hitlist. Essentially it would be a list of people you dislike (more likely hate) with a points system. Every time someone on the list pisses you off, you click a little “+” button and a point is added to their score. If someones not on the list all you have to do is input their name. Then, everyone on the list is sorted according to the number of points they have, most hated at the top and a minor nuisance at the bottom. Of course it would have some fancy animation in there as well.

I can’t think of a title.

I’m still sick, but feel a little better. Thanksgiving break is coming [ok so I almost coughed up a lung right there] so that will be nice hopefully, but then you know how teachers think: “Oh! They have a break! That means they’ll have plenty of time to relax and write a 42 page essay!” That’s what they ALL think. They say they know that other teachers are giving us stuff, but it’s too late, they’re sure that this is the perfect assignment and that we can handle all the rest. BULLSHIT! Unless I missed the memo, breaks are meant to give us a chance to relax, to unwind, to escape the stress of fucking assignments. I thought of a title. I thought of something I want to program. It’s gonna be a simulation of single celled organisms and I reall want to make it look like a realistic electron scanning image. In other news, I finally completely completed “the Simpsons Hit and Run” with a little help from some maps, I had 2 gags that I couldn’t find and that’s all I needed to be 100%, though the maps didn’t really help because I wasn’t sure what gags I had already gotten. Turns out that I had missed the break in the fence around the telescope in the observatory on level 3 and 7. It’s a pretty awesome game, but I really want a free-range Simpsons game where you can go anywhere, with an accurate city layout (Hit and Run maps are so warped it’s painful) and where not all of the missions are based around cars, maybe that’s what the new Simpsons Game is, but I don’t know.

I haven’t really had much to write about lately, well there is one thing, but I going to wait on that. The last few days (read nights) I’ve been working on a multi-player game-like thing. It’s not really a game as of yet. It’s hard to describe, but pretty much you control this hover block that you can move around in a 3D world and sortof interact with other people. I built in a really quick chat system that works through the console. The console, at the moment, is really the only way of doing stuff other than moving or changing the camera angle and view. I’ve built in a bunch of functions that do stuff like change the player’s name, color, or alpha. So, you can personalize your “Helio” (as I’m calling it, yeah I know the name rips off the phone, but it really fits, cause the model looks like a little helicopter) to a degree. Also, I put in a few secret things that I though would be fun to use when showing it off to people. Eventually, the plan is to make a capture the flag game. I wonder if it works over the interwebs, I’m unsure because I haven’t had a chance to try it, the only testing has been on my local network. One problem is that because of .swf security issues, the networking only works in an executable form, though there may be a workaround, which would be nice.

This is almost the same as the version from yesterday, but it’s got some new stuff which makes it look a little cooler…at least I think it does.

Colorful Rings

This is what I did today…

Colorful Rings

It does more if you click it…

There is a dropdown menu sitting in the middle of my screen. It’s from Flash, which I closed, but it’s still there. I think it’s lost. I can’t see what I’m typing. I hope I’m typing what I think I am…

Edit: Still there. Guess I’ll have to shut
