Over the last weekend i wrote earlier that i was hanging out at the winnipeg game jam, if anybody wants to see pictures you can find them here

I'm totally exhausted from this month, and I get maybe a week to recuperate before heading off to the Newgrounds Montreal Meet.

Everyone's kinda just rambling about Dr. Who and stuff so i figure its fine if i post about my current events, perhaps some of ye will be interested :)

Winnipeg essentially flooded over the weekend so I'm happy we were on the 2nd floor of the building, all nice and dry while everyone else attended to flooding basements.

Can anyone recommend a good IDE to work with Python?

No, but I can recommend a better programming language to use!

You don't need one, but download PythonWin if you want.

Oh shush you. No harm can come from learning python, it's nice and simple to use for when all you want to do is write a few simple

Ipod / iPhone Apps

Does anybody know how to make apps? I'm an artist and i really wanna make an iPod game or something but i have no idea how someone would code that.

Too late, Apple decided to be a douche and banned App development in Flash for iPhone OS 4.0. If you want to make Apps for the short time until OS4.0 is released, you'll need Flash CS5 ($150+) and a Dev License ($100).

PROGRAMMING GAME
For Robot Day 2010 I'm making a game where you basically have to program a robot to cause as much destruction as possible. Here's what I accomplished today.

Link

So far you can declare and access variables (currently only NUMBERs) and set/access the square's properties (x, y, alpha, rotation, etc.). I also have a nice code coloring system in place (it isn't very useful yet). Don't worry, I plan to make this quite a bit more complex but also very accessible to non-programmers.

Here's some example code. The brackets are just there to show the code coloring. Press "Go!" to put the code into action.

Heeeeeerrrrrrreeeeesssssssssss FARZA~!

Need art, Archon? And fuck Apple dude.

Nah, I'm working with EJR on this one.

I went onto Chinese Google today and was severely disappointed in the lack of censorship, I searched anti communism, anti china, capitalism, free speech, and our beautiful nation. I got the same results. There goes my weekend. >:(

Spent the weekend moving to my new apartment :) Still got a few things to get over here, and the old apartment needs a bit of cleaning, but it's not long now until I can truly kiss those pesky bus rides goodbye :D

I was actually going to post about this yesterday, and I was also going to express my joy to have broadband right from the beginning as opposed to last time I moved when it took months... But just as I was about to post my connection went down :( Oh the irony.

Seems like I need to wait a couple of days for my payment to get through and use the school network in the meantime.

I thought you could still do it, but only until OS4.0 comes out and the terms of agreement change. I'm pretty sure that there are still some Flash-Built Applications in the App Store right now. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Apparently NG doesn't like simplified Han. It was supposed to say "meiguo", or "Beautiful Nation", which is the incredibly flattering name the Chinese have bestowed on the U.S.. What's odd, is that it showed up perfectly in the window, but when it posted, it all got turned to gibberish. Live and learn.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHahahahaha

I actually surpassed the limit it seems in how large a method is allowed to be in AVM2:

I've LITERALLY had to split a method into two seperate methods with the first calling the second to have it not crash when verifying opcodes in debug mode.

Before splitting it would crash under verification when it reached roughly the 30th thousand opcode in the log file for the method in question :P

I'm thinking of holding back on the beers until I finish my game, as a little extra motivation. Someone please convince me not to do so.

Seeing as this is the "FLASH Reg Lounge" I assumed he meant with Flash.

Can you change how long it takes for Flash to display the "A code has become unresponsive" when you /accidently/ use an infinite loop?

Publish Settings, at the bottom, "Script time limit". Never actually used it but I'm pretty sure that's it.

yes, in the publish settings (wouldn't recommend doing that unless you have a good reason too, if a process really takes that long you should try saving the state and continuing it on the next frame)

you can also catch the ScriptTimeoutError and not have flash terminate your process (if it throws it again [in the same frame or in the catch block, i forget] you can't catch that one).

I'm recoding something in AS3, and i've been using AS2 so long I keep _ things, and in my while loops I was writing _y--.

I'm so gr8 at acshunskipt

hey guys guess what

Quincy the Quadriplegic Amputee is going to be on TV

basically these people were doing a documentary and part of it had a feature on my teacher, Mr Scott because he teaches things weird; he does exactly opposite of what teachers are supposed to do. he does not teach, he lets us do what we want, and we're allowed to throw any type of music or video up on the screen for people to listen to/watch. and yet his classes get amazing results.

So anyways, the top two animations were sent off to the people who were making the documentary. its set to air sometime in the fall.

I really think that quincy is shit, because it really is, but i'm happy to have it on TV.

you should also put one frame innuendos in it too. good luck pausing it on an interpolated frame of grotesque imagery!

which reminds me

jumping turtles won 2nd prize at my school's film festival. $150 in the bag. I also got a neat-o plaque with my name on it.

and good job on getting on tv fluffy, one step closer to fame I guess.

Flash player audio keeps cutting out

And I seriously can't figure out why. It happens with everything embedded into a webpage. I'm not just about the stand alone, but the sound cuts out randomly on youtube videos, flash videos here do it too.

Pissing me off. Help me guiz
