CS4
What are you currently working on?
A game that has to do with cannons and a bottomless pit, and another game that has destructible terrain and will be multiplayer.

i usually stalk the thread. You guys are talking about things far too complex for my pea-sized artsy brain for the most part so i rarely contribute. Talk about Tell Target and then i can rejoin the conversation.
As for what I'm working on, a madness game, a ninja game, a swinging dicks collab, a smoking collab, and portal defenders 2 whenever i finish the other 4 things in front of it. Something that might* be cool.. or not... would be to have coders do art and artists try their hand at coding. It may not shell out major bucks or even a sponsor but it might be fun to try sometime... id love to have said i programmed a game and had toast / glaiel / whomever do my artz.

Flash on various mobile devices
If you haven't heard already, Adobe's actually partnered up with lots of websites to make competitions to get people to port/make games for the Android.
There are three competitions that I know of so far:
FGL Competition
It's actually interesting to see how this new market will grow. FGL's already got a check box where you state whether your game is compatible with Androids or not. I wonder if it'll ever grow so much that there will start to be ads or ad networks specifically for those flash games being played on mobiles.

kongregate and adobe actually sent free Nexus One phones to devs with more than 3 decently rated games in exchange for making small modifications to the games to make them run well on mobile devices.

I think tell target is probably more complicated than lots of stuff we talk about. It's just old and inefficient :P

Wow, so they basically sent out free phones to dev's behind all the big games on there? That must have been a lot.

So, I start college officially tomorrow.. well, today.
I was at my induction a couple of days ago and after about 3 hours of filling out forms and listening to rules and regulations we got to sign onto their amazing computers.
Fuck yeah, we'll be learning C++.
Also Club Dread is on Channel 4, for any UK people out der.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was aaaaawesooome - if it doesn't do better at the box office then I'm going to find someone who didn't go see it and stab them with a spoon.

Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders. Marginally.
Flash on iphone appstore an option again?

the only way the app store works is because of the developers. they really should be lax about how the developers go about developing
the events are merely fictional, written, directed, and acted out by all who create them

April Fools & The French
The Cheesestring I just ate said that April Fools Day was invented by the French, which I find to be an ludicrous claim and is nothing more than French propaganda as Proff. Wikipedia says the first mention of April Fools Day is in The Canterbury Tales by the decidedly not French Chaucer. I have never felt so betrayed by cheese in my life.

If they include Flash in that (Which they should, they did say they are relaxing ALL restrictions) then Apple just got a little better in my opinion.
I still won't get an iMac any time soon though.
Hopefully it won't be as shitty as Flash on Android.
(Semi-Related) Esoteric Programming Languages
Has anyone here ever tried to learn an esoteric language like Whitespace or LOLCODE? For my programming class we were assigned a research paper in which we must describe VB.NET (I know, I know...) as well as a language of our choosing. Most other people wrote about more practical languages (C++, mainly) but I chose to do something out of the ordinary. I remembered HDXmike once telling me about Whitespace, so I decided to write about it. The research sparked my interest in these types of languages, and my goal is to learn one in any spare time I have during class.
My Programming Class
I love it and I hate it. We'll be learning VB.NET this semester and Java the next. The class is an introductory course so it's being taught, to the disappointment of myself and one other person with programming experience, as though we know nothing whatsoever about programming. I've been told by a friend of mine who took the course last year that the teacher spends over three weeks on the oh-so-complicated concept of "if" statements, and even longer on other basic concepts. This is going to be slow and painful. Hopefullly, as it will be an easy class for me, there will be room for me to show off to the teacher and have a bit of fun with the projects.

Yeah that's gonna happen in basically all your classes from now through college. every class is taught to people as if they know nothing of the subject. Even when you reach college, there will be intro to programming classes that teach the subject from scratch, assuming not everyone went to a high school that offered programming classes.
It's been the same way with using software on computers in my art class. As long as you don't catch yourself slacking down to the level of the class (which does happen occasionally in select classes when you start getting swamped with assignments) you'll be fine.

Ireland
I've been away in Dublin for the past few days, it was a great place, lots to do and drink! Just wondered if any newgrounders flash regs live in Ireland? I know there is an Ireland meet coming up soon, I would love to join and drink some more Guinness but the flights are too expensive, saying that Dublin was also surprisingly expensive for food and drink.

Dublin
I've been to Dublin, only for a couple of days but I still had a great time. I was amazed by the amount of scarcely clad girls like, everywhere. Good times.
Also finally got paid for a game I've been trying to sell for the last... 3 months or so. Feels good.
School
Well, lack of school... Weekend is here and I've got some things that need to be done.
Go to Best Buy and see if they reviewed my job application.
Start hockey season.
Follow up on behind the wheel so I can get my license.
Get started on Halloween Flash.
Party.

I can agree with you on the scarcely clad girls. But a few you just wish were more covered, luckily not many :P
Is that game the tycoon one? If so post a link here, would love to see what it turned out like! Not sure if you made any changes since the last build? Also like the look of your latest WIP :)
You don't want to know how long it took for me to be finally able to post this link. I thought I'd try making a game with a different genre, that was harder than I thought it would be. Happy panda now though, sorta.

Cool game, Xeptic. The only thing I noticed was that some of the text boxes on the "results" screen and the "stock" menu were left blank or they didn't update properly. Nice work.

Very well done. Although I personally didn't stumble upon the issues other people have, it did keep me hooked and I enjoyed watching how each piece of the game worked so well with one another from the programming perspective. :)
