Navigation Excersise

I've currently got a low-detail pre-alpha stage Main Menu for my game in my Projects page. It was merely something to wave at Globaloria for my grade tomorrow (err, well... Later today... about 6 hours actually...). The experience was fun in hind-sight, and I do believe I enjoyed it, if only because I like to problem solve and make my work as nice as possible... But I would be a liar if I said it was not rage-inducing in at least one spot, the first time around.

The .swf I currently have uploaded actually has one or two duplicated pages, which are essentially fragmented, incomplete versions of the pages a user on the web will actually have access to. These pages are not in anyway accessible to web users. Only persons with a copy of the .fla could know of these duplicate pages. But deletion of said pages (which, do not contain any Actionscript, I might add) prevents my Main Menu from properly working... Odd, to say the least...

Of course, I lucked into this little fix. I fought CS3 for probably a solid 45 minutes, before a short break and then I got lucky. By the break period, I was quite tempted to find a large hole, don a cape and thong and kick my computer in. Luckily I did not... I must've not messed up my character build as bad as I thought...

Interaction Excersise

Come on, guys... Coded the Rabbit just like everybody else...

...Fine...


The Rabbit minigame was my first hands-on dive into Actionscript. It was fun, and with the clever and aware instruction of Patrick Smith and Josh Joseph, it was pretty easy. Minor bugs here and there, all good for one's learning curve. I now enjoy Actionscripting to a great extent, as I find I'm quite good at it... As do my classmates, seeing as I've done Actionscript work on 3 projects this semester, including my own.

Animation Excersise

In my projects page, near the bottom, there exists a single-winged windmill with quite an obscure color scheme. I was bored in class one day, and drew this whilst everyone was making stick legs that made awkward kicking motions. I began with the line tool, but changed to the paintbrush about half-way as the slightly "hit-and-miss" artstyle feels more comfortable for the scheme of the scene I desired to create... Not enough so to warrant reconstruction of the inital drawing though.

I know, I know... I over-analyze.
