I'm seeing Rachel again on saturday. She's so pretty and fantastically lovely that I can't believe I got her. I'm a programmer for pete's sake.
Anyway, I only had one 1.5 hour morning exam today, so I spent the rest of the say working on Hyper Uber Robo Dancing.
I've got semi-fluid hair that moves about and swishes as you rotate and move your robo. It looks kinda cool. A playable alpha might be up in a few days.
Only a few more exams left.
Hyper Uber Robo will feature a lot more levels and things to do- with story-fillers, goal-orientated bits that get you from level to level.
Tonight I learnt more ActionScript functions and how to use them, and more about ActionScript in general than I have over the past few weeks put together.
I also realised quite how sucky I am with DM. I'm thinking I'll probably go all the way with ActionScript and stick with it...I just like it better. Braces are nice and I've begun to stop using whitespace (except in the more confusing else{if{else{if{}}}} style situations. I'm also rather fond of the dot typecasting instead of using slashes. Flash 4 used slashes much like DM, but it's deprecated and now Flash MX and Actionscript 2 prefer the old dot.
var getposition = this.getDepth() - 1;
this._x =_root.robo.head.hair["strand"+getposition]._x + 10;
I am teh pwnage. I love ActionScript.
/me out.

Ah yes, the cliched, generic praise given to your girlfriend.
But what can I say? I'm not about to go saying she's a horrid loser! | |
Maybe you got her because she misinterpreted:
"I work in Flash" -Thorg | |
¬_¬
That's always awkward when talking to parent's friends. "So Will, got any hobbies?" "Well, I like to make flash movies." "..." "I know. =(" | |
If you lived further south and 10 years ago it'd make more sense:
"Well, I like to make Flash movies." "You Flash Git!" | |
You can't get much further south than where I live. <_<
Well, you can. Cornwall. I was born in Devon! | |
I had 2 per day, with each being 90 minutes (1.5 hours, duh!). Lucky me. I get out earlier that way.
| |
If I'm not mistaken,
var/mob/player/M is the same as var.mob.player.M I'd never actually done it that way, but I just tested a few things in my current project, and it seemed to work fine. | |
Yeah, slashes and dots are pretty much the same thing. Flash 4 (ActionScript 1.0, maybe) actually used the slash syntax. Now ActionScript 2.0 supports both, but favours (and officially backs, etc.) the usage of the dot.
DM uses both, and while most people use slashes, dots are fine. I kinda prefer dots...easier to read, especially with long type paths (although of course there are ways to shorten it in DM, the guide tells me). | |
Yeah, I can't believe it either...
Kidding aside, I'm glad things are working out well for you.
