Working notes and small writeups.
Notes from building software, mostly the parts worth remembering by Jason Brown (Loktar).
Updated the snowfall plugin that was released yesterday with a few more features. The primary new feature allows you to specify which elements you want the snow to appear in. An example of this can be seen below. View a full page demonstration. In addition to snowing within elements there are some more options available, properties available are...
Plugin has been updated to 1.4 please go here for more up to date information. Got bored today and decided to put together a quick snow plugin for Jquery. On my site Undeadgames.com the members look forward to the snow every year. I decided to replace the older one we were using, it was nice overall...
The idea of creating height maps with JS and canvas came from an idea I started for a different website I'm developing. This small project has taught me many things (some of the unfortunate things I learned is I still suck at math, and I have many JS skills to brush up on). I just couldn't bring myself to give it up so I also implemented a very slow very light voxel engine...
I've been hearing things about this canvas element lately and I found some really cool uses. Mostly I found examples of charts that use it, which makes sense because in some browsers its not very fast rendering real time elements onto it, and IE browsers do not natively support it. After doing some more research and seeing as its in the HTML 5 specification I figured I would try my hand at making something quick with it...
Well I have finished my mess around project with OpenGL. I decided to make a screensaver BIG SURPRISE :)! Its fully functioning, with the media embedded (1 image) but it requires the 2 tao DLL's in order to run. Also I went ahead and included the source. Its no big secret how to create a screensaver in C# but I really didn't see many relating to OpenGL...
Wasn't in the mood this weekend to work on my current flash project, or any other web projects, so I decided to mess around with the TAO framework. I made a game about a year ago called Glow Roids (the name is pretty comical when you think about it) using CsGL. I had a bunch of problems with it on different machines, mostly involving ATI cards, and Vista...
Nonoba if you haven't heard of this site your missing out. It's a pretty big Flash portal similar to Kongregate, the main difference is they offer a multiplayer API. The API is great, its pretty easy to use, and if you've ever done anything with socket programming and sending messages back and forth you'll find no trouble using it at all.
This site is awesome. I found this a while back when they created Phoenix, basically an online Photoshop. Today I was on Digg and I found an article related to Raven. It's a fantastic application very similar to Adobe Illustrator. The great thing (besides the fact that I can access it anywhere in the world) is that it's totally cross-browser, even
Hello everyone.. or just me: I finally decided to create my own personal blog. I do so many random things throughout the year I figured it's a waste to not share my experiences for anyone who may come across or do something similar. For my first post, I'll share a little about myself. I'm 26 with a wife and 4 kids. By day, I'm a web developer for the government, and by night, I'm a web developer / all-around developer for myself.
