Diff. Eq. and TDS

Posted by Shork on April 7, 2007, 1:45 a.m.

I have tried making top down and isometric games before, and was never able to get a good looking jump animation. So today, I actually did math involving some easy calculus. Here it is:

jumping objects follow a parabolic path. Parabolas are described by Y=AX^2+BX+C.

If Y = height in …

Need better sound stuff.

I came up with an idea for a game. A space shooter type, but the badguy's behavior is controlled by whatever sound the computer is playing. This would be hard to do, and probably impossible in game maker. Unless I haven't been paying attention very well. But it could be …

Annoy your friends and enemies.

Do this. It is cool.

Get some money. $20 should do. Go to radio shack. Buy five 10 kiloohm resistors, one 1000 microfarad capacitor, a 90 decibel peizo buzzer with a 5 miliamp max rating, a push button switch, and some wire.

Next, get an old electronic device that used …

Final Fantasy 11

Posted by Shork on March 16, 2007, 11:02 p.m.

Does anyone here play this game? I know it costs $13 a month, but I have a right to blow my money as I please!

Anyway, I play a mithra warrior on Diabolos. Right now I'm level 11. Eventually, I'll reach level 30, at which point I can be a …

Facebook sucks.

Posted by Shork on March 13, 2007, 1:31 a.m.

I have had a facebook.com account for almost a year and half by now. However, due to my inherited paranioa, I refused to use my real name. I decided to use the name "I'm not giving my name to a machine!" and it worked for a year and a half. …

Boring Pictures.

Posted by Shork on Feb. 22, 2007, 12:13 a.m.

I think I may have accidently done a double post. I entered the title, then accidently hit enter. I'm not sure if it posted or not. I was bored, and I haven't done anything in a while, so I posted these pictures. I drew all of them except the one …

A new style of tactical RPG...

Posted by Shork on Feb. 15, 2007, 4:54 p.m.

I couldn't get an isometric movement grid to work. I think I have found another way. By modifying Superdevon4's sprite to polygon script, I have made a way to display where a character can move during their turn that doesn't involve grids at all. You will see it's greatness soon …

Infinite for loop...

Posted by Shork on Jan. 26, 2007, 5:42 p.m.

I was trying to make an isometric grid system. I was using a for loop to set the x and y cooridinates of the lines endpoints. I thought it would be best to use a for loop in a for loop to make the offsets work. However, I didn't check …

Starcraft

Posted by Shork on Jan. 19, 2007, 11:51 a.m.

I still play Starcraft. I know it's over 8 years old, but it still kicks the crap out of almost any other game out there. I have tried to play Starcraft on battle.net and I lose… a lot. Anyway, I'm bored. Do any of you play Starcraft? If so, I …

It's Cold.

Posted by Shork on Jan. 17, 2007, 12:13 p.m.

I live in Missouri. Missouri got raped by a cold-storm. The other day, it was so cold that I spent 3 hours getting the ice off my car. Then the battery was dead. It was so cold the lock froze on the front door to my house, so it wouldn't …
