Back to Work (Again)
Jan/100
Well, once again university work had to take priority over my own whims. Marvin Cooper development stalled.
But fear no longer! I’m back, and there’s lots of exciting stuff happening in the near future!
I’m working on a small, Flash-based game with my buddy Brendan (http://www.sketchperception.com/).
He hasn’t actually gotten around to giving me a full (or partial, for that matter) design document, but from what he’s said I know we’ll be wanting a nice rain effect. Accordingly I spent an hour or so last night coding a ‘weather manager’, which can be supplied with a location (and density, speed & wind) within which it generates some pretty looking rain.
I deliberately left the class ‘open-ended’, so it should be easy to go back in and add generation capability for any other kind of precipitation. For now, though, rain it is.
Other than that, I’ve also got at least two highly interesting projects that will come out of my degree course (although they’re all still in the pre-production phase for now), and a whole new idea for a website!
I’ll keep the blog updated as and when cool stuff happens.
Oh, and don’t worry about Marvin. I’ll get right back on that as soon as I am back at that computer.
