Life, as I know it.

Lets see.

——Game Maker and nvida——

Well, I've been playing a game that I like called Renegade. So I'm like, hell, I like Game Maker too, why not use them together? So, I make a program that can view .dds files. Well, actually, it opens readdxt.exe by nvida with the argument of the file location. You can change the view to make it look bigger so you can see the whole image, too. It replaces the sprite with test.tga (that is generated with readdxt) and then deletes it.

I've been trying to make a .dds file creator with nvida's nvdxt. I know all of the arguments in it and stuff, but I just don't get how to do it. I tried it a few times, but it didn't work. Oh well, one day it will (I hope!).

——mySQL in PHP——

Man, did you ever get "coders" block? Well, it seems like I am. I cant code for shit. I know mySQL, that stuff, but… I just stop in the middle of writing something and give up.

I know exactly what to do and how to do it, but I just take big long breaks while writing it into Notepad++. It is very annoying, and after a while, I just stop and do something fun with Game Maker.

So yeah,…

——School——

Well, that dumbass that brought a knife to school isn't coming back (for a loonngg time) :D.

We've been having FCAT's lately. FCAT stands for Florida Comprehension Assessment Test. It's really annoying, but good that we can do whatever we want after it for the whole day (or go home).

We just did FCAT Science today, … I don't think I did very good, because I just suck at science.

——Random Stuff——

Meh, I made these pretty lookin' buttons without images. Copy this code into Game Maker if you want it:

//Create Event
col1=make_color_rgb(0,85,0);
col2=make_color_rgb(128,128,0);
col3=c_yellow;
col4=c_red;
text1=c_black;
text2=c_dkgray;
text3=c_ltgray;
text4=c_white;

//Step Event
if (mouse_x>=0 && mouse_x<=100) {
  if (mouse_y>=0 && mouse_y<=32) {
    if (mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left)) {
      show_message("Clicked on button one.");
    }
    col1=c_red;
    col2=c_yellow;
    col3=make_color_rgb(128,128,0);
    col4=make_color_rgb(0,85,0);
    text1=c_white;
    text2=c_ltgray;
    text3=c_dkgray;
    text4=c_black;
  }
  else {
    col1=make_color_rgb(0,85,0);
    col2=make_color_rgb(128,128,0);
    col3=c_yellow;
    col4=c_red;
    text1=c_black;
    text2=c_dkgray;
    text3=c_ltgray;
    text4=c_white;
  }
}
else {
  col1=make_color_rgb(0,85,0);
  col2=make_color_rgb(128,128,0);
  col3=c_yellow;
  col4=c_red;
  text1=c_black;
  text2=c_dkgray;
  text3=c_ltgray;
  text4=c_white;
}

//Draw Event
draw_rectangle_color(0,0,100,32,col1,col2,col3,col4,1);
draw_rectangle_color(1,1,99,31,col4,col3,col2,col1,0);
draw_text_color(28,8,"button",text1,text2,text3,text4,1);

I have command and conquer Renegade, and it is a fun game. I like to play online.

Yah, although the GFX could be upgraded a tiny bit.

Cool buttons ;)

Good thing that you can create maps, skins, and models for Renegade, or it would have died a year after it came out.
