Oopsie...

.
Just noticed I didn't publish the last couple of posts I wrote!
Instead of posting them all today I'll post them on a day each.

I'm feeling a little blah today... Not sure why, but yeah.
The first one...

Birthday
Not a particularly special day.
But it was nice to get a few messages from people on facebook, contrived as they may be.

Had an amazing sponge cake and thick cream for desert... Really was an awesome cake.
Funny that the first time I remember my birthday being on a weekend for a while and I'm not making much use of it.

Finished my CV.
I think it's looking pretty sexy now...
Any job offers?

Pong in Cardiff

.
Went out on the 24th for my cousin's Birthday.
Fancy dress: Cartoons and Games.
Me, my cousin (Coel) and Sean went out as Pong. (Bats and ball)
Here's how it looked...

And... STOP!

.
Now with Pause.

Version 1.1
Ok. Anything else I add is just bells and whistles... I think.

And it's a game!

.
Ok, I've got it to the stage where I can call it an actual game!
You can choose a difficulty, how many players (if any) and
the score you want to play to.
And now the game gives a winner!
Next is pause... I think.

Decisions decisions...

.
Now you can choose the difficulty and number of players!!
Still no useful system for choosing the winner yet, though.

To anyone who happens to try it, and find something seems to go wrong. Please let me know!
Leave a comment or, better still, email me at bjmonkey@gmail.com

Guitars...

.
They work better with strings...



Luckily I got some now, after a week of having a broken top e string, waiting for new ones to come in the post but finally going out to Ickenham to buy some.
.

It's alive!

.
Ok, the "computer" player now has a little Ai...
That is, he is beatable!
::EDIT:: Added 3 difficulty levels. ::/EDIT::

::EDIT:: Added an Extreme difficulty level. ::/EDIT::

With Ai
Gotta get the scores working to allow a win and a lose next...

Running in the rain makes you wet...

.
But I decided that it sounded like quite a nice idea to run in gentle rain... And I decided to try running around a different block.

Turns out, the route I took is quite a lot further than I'd expected...
And the rain had apparently just started...

So I am now much wetter...
And much tireder.... more tired? than I'd planned...

Ping Pong

.
Been working on a Pong game recently, my first flash... umm... thing? that I've created without help from a tutorial.

At the moment I've made a 2 separate 1 player versions, and I'm in the process of making a 2 player version.

One paddle
Two paddles
Once they're all made I'll merge them into one game with an option of which mode to play in.
(Just noticed the ball looks really small on both pics... It changes size randomly, it won't always be so small!)
