So this will officially be my last post on this blog. This may come as a shock to a lot of you, since I was posting SO often recently and everything. The blog will stay up for a while at least here. But the recommended place to get your fill of me is now dirolf.com. That site is very new and there are more features to come but it should be a little bit easier for me to keep up to date then this was. Check it out, let me know what you think.
So until about 15 minutes ago, it had been over 3 months since I updated this blog. I guess after school started I just lost my will to keep it updated. Maybe I'll try to give it another shot...
An update on what has been going on with me for the past 3 months:
Yesterday I wrote another game using javascript and the <canvas> tag. This time the design of the game is completely original, and I think it came out pretty nicely. Hopefully you should be able to figure out the rules / object of the game after playing with it for a few minutes. Let me know what you think!
The look and feel of the game was inspired by the Rubik's Cube. After creating a static image of a face of the cube, zooming in on it seemed to be the only logical thing to do. After that was implemented, the mechanics of gameplay just fell out.
The complete list of these small games I've written is here.
Only a few short weeks until football season starts - I think Chris and I might hit up training camp at UAlbany tomorrow so I can get my fix.
Aaron just finished telling me a story that reminded me how much I hate Texas.
He was driving around with some friends and they decided to hit up a drive-through on the way home. He pulls in and there is a guy stopped near the line. Aaron gets in line in front of the stopped car (which he described to me as "this huge monster truck looking thing"). I guess the guy thought Aaron cut him off and got upset - thirty seconds later somebody taps on Aaron's window. A shirtless 20 year old kid is pointing a SHOTGUN right at him through the window. How messed up is that. Texas sucks.
Before any Texans get upset and tell me that my hate is unfounded, let me say that I wholeheartedly agree. Also, you should feel better because there are other places that I hate even more for even fewer reasons... *COUGH* Seattle *COUGH*
This is a pretty awesome movie about a "gangster" from New Hampshire. Chris and I watched it in Cape Cod by accident a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. Gave it a another shot tonight and it didn't disappoint, so... watch it. It's funny.
Eric, Jared, and I are leaving in a few hours to go camping. We're going to head up to Saranac and camp out by my Uncle Bryan's camp. Chris is going to meet us up there after work tomorrow. It should be a great time, watch this space for some pictures or whatever afterwards.
