hasn’t been completely forgotten yet…i’ve been getting really busy lately though..and not getting nearly enough work done. I just cranked out a little code for the starts of a game..the arrow keys move the ship and the space bar fires..haven’t really gotten much farther (check out the swf or the fla). I haven’t looked online for any code ideas yet either though..so maybe I can get a little farther when I look up some tutorials or something.
I finished the flowchart for our project..seems like its got everything important in it. take a look
in regards to the links..I think my favorite out of all of them was the September 12th game where normal people would turn into ‘terrorists’ by our continued efforts to remove the terrorists in a violent and destructive manner.
I think I’m make a parody of sorts of an old shooter-type game, and replace enemies with food. high-fat/calorie foods will get you points when you shoot them..but shooting good foods would be a penalty. you may even be able to get a bonus by ‘collecting’ the good foods..not sure.
make that president bush..or maybe any number of controversial public figures. the image could jump around when you get close..or maybe wobble..or maybe your pinning isn’t quite accurate..not exactly where you click the mouse. i dunno..it could be fun..or maybe stupid.
so, I had applied for an internship at Pixar and got my application in to them March 11th (a few days before the march 15th deadline). anyway, their material said to expect either a postcard or email acknowledgement within 2 weeks of them recieving the application. 2 weeks came and went without me hearing anything, so I sent an email to HR making sure they had recieved my application..and never got a reply. so at that point i figured they weren’t interested
so anyway, I just got an email tonight (exactly a month after they recieved my application (i had delivery confirmation) and they want to have “a few of our Supervising Technical Directors” talk to me on the phone this coming thursday :)
at this point, after getting my hopes up again in a major way, I better get the job :P
well, I got the keyboard working properly, and the colors now change to match the right keys. didn’t implement any panning or volume control though..time to move onto the next assignment i think.
here’s the swf and the fla
so i’ve run to some trouble with array’s this time around. I got the keyboard input working correctly, but for some reason, no matter what array I call (say array[3]), it will only change the properties of array[0]…haven’t been able to figure out why yet. I have a swf file and the fla of my code so far..
