The fact that you have to paste all the frames into one image in Photoshop to make the animation is kind of annoying, though,

From a photoshop perspective that is a good thing. They aren't attempting to lure in animators to photoshop with their gif production capabilities, they are providing gif production capabilities to people who already use photoshop already. I've had to in the past create animations in photoshop and then use the images in another program to create the gif file, so what they have done actually works very well.

Yeah, I had just wished there was some way to automate the copy-pasting, or a way to paste the frames without having to add junk in the corners so that it pastes in the right place (Photoshop has no way of pasting transparent images in the same coordinates they were copied from...), but I also forgot I could have just brought the frames into After Effects and export it with that.

It would be even better if Adobe got off their butts and actually did anything with the GIF export in Flash, but that's really expecting too much out of them.

I was bored so I made a text-based simulation of the life of a cat, where you can hunt flies to bears (and fish, and chihuahuas, and dogs, and cats, and birds, and...).

It also allowed me to get familiar with the StringTokenizer, which I am glad to be familiar with now.

Today I created a silly puzzle game mode where you try to top out and a beam destroys your blocks if they match various rules.



Been busy with my "day job", but I lurk here and the workin' on thread daily.  Just wanted to say thanks to all the folks posting stuff.  You inspire me to put in a bit of game work even when I think I'm completely out of juice.

A debugger for my game framework. Pressing ` hijacks the game onto the debug viewer regardless of what state it's in. The debug view has an input section for commands.

Anywhere in the code, you can trace out data to the debugger by calls to the static Console class. Also, anywhere in the code, you can hook local methods onto commands for the input section, complete with arguments.



EDIT: I also made the font and font renderer from scratch because why not.

This is a great exercise it becomes really useful when you add watches, breakpoints and some form of scripting

Yeah, it's been really fun over the weekend hooking all the other parts of the framework into it (for example, you can now change and reinitialize states in the FSM), and then at the end of it opening up another project which depends on the same framework and suddenly it's ludicrously easy to debug.

Today I Created: A save-log-to-disk function to save all the output (might be useful for tracking bug reports from players) and two additional flags on the hook command; one causes the hooked method to only be available if the game is compiled in debug mode, the other causes the hooked method to not show up in the "help" command. Centralized cheatcode support: done~.

Today I:
Applied for NCWIT (National Council for Women in Information Technology) Scholarships for my state and the national level.

My letter of rec from my AP Comp teacher saying I was his best programming student yet.

Got filler images for my trading card game. And I started my basic AI for the trading card game.

And a few questions:
Do you know people know any scholarships for girls heavily interested in Game Design/programming? Is there any good articles on AI programming for CCGs? And finally when is a good point to start showing off gameplay?
