Look what I found

I found something really unique and interesting... and time wasting on teh internets



This monster here was created by me with some random algorithmic generation.

You make these "media creatures" and then have them battle each other. Seems like a fun way to market a procuct indeed.

Go on, click on that link, make your own and then battle my "media creatures" >:)

Sketchy Hasty Iota Tid-bits

I plan to get a scanner for Christmas. I'm sick of having to deal with the queues for scanners at school. But luckily I have bothered to scan some stuff from my sketchbooks. Do enjoy :D

First foray into video games development

I'm certain that any experienced coder out there or seasoned computer geek would be scoffing at my attempt here. For one thing, this was in the written tutorial wizard, so unless I was extremely thick and illiterate I would not have been able to pull this off. Yet, I still feel rather proud of this.

To download the game and play it, follow the link at the bottom of this post and simply download.






 Game Maker was the software I used to make this. It has a free "Lite" version with a "Pro" version available for purchase. It's pretty damn simple as game making software goes as it has a "Simple Mode" so you don't have to type in code, but rather navigate menus and icons to achieve what you want.

If you think this looks complicated, don't. This is child's play compared to how games are REALLY made.

So the game looks like this when you open it. CLICK THEM FRUITS!

As time goes on, bombs start appear. Don't click on those if you don't want to blow up.

... more and more bombs appear. Damn that cherry is hard to catch.

gAAHhh!

Well, game over.

 That last screenshot shows my current highscore of 1400. Feel free to beat that if the game keeps your interest long enough lol.

Reminds me of snow

Trawling through my files, I found that my "ART" folder contains over 35.6 GB of data of the stuff. It feels like a lot of stuff. Anyways, what I was meant to tell you today is that all this snow reminded me of the snow earlier this year, y'know back in January. I found these choice pics:

"Snowed around"

"Post box sees you..."

"POST BOX ANGR-EH!"

"Beloved Snow Bear/Owl"

"Smile"

An Extension to my Idioms Project

With the 12 project underway, I'd like to share with you a tangential piece I made from my Idioms project:
