The Unsteady Hand: Web Devolopment Blog
Times of Trouble...
Soooo... I just found out my aunt, who I spent a great deal of time with as a child, has lung cancer. I'm pretty shaken up by it.This is her second time having cancer, but as far as I know it's a lot worse this time. I knew my parents and their siblings were starting to get up there, but I'm just 22. I'm not ready to let go yet!
I've got so much stuff going on this semester, it's just very hard for me to cope with it all. Now this on top of everything else, I expect some sort of meltdown soon....
When it rains, it pours, folks.
In lighter news, I'm going to start doing a flash a week, starting tonight and updated every week. We'll see how it goes. Eventually, I'll have to make an interface to store them all, but for now I think I'll just put it on an HTML file till the weekend.
Hell, that might be one weeks flash, the interface for all the others. A calendar seems to be a pretty popular theme, right? If it's weekly, though, a calendar isn't quite suited. Accordion? Something new?
Oh well, if it's not up now, check back later or maybe tomorrow and see it. Maybe it'll be cool?
A new beginning...
I've started another blog. Again, I know. I'm hoping to talk mostly about Actionscript and web development on here, provided I find time to use either. I've been studying prety hard lately, trying to make it out of college with my GPA intact, so we'll see how that goes.Lately, I've been using a class package called APE. It's an acronym for Actionscript Physics Engine. It provides 2 dimensional physics, and for what it does it does it nicely. However, I've found it lacking a specific ability I need.
See, the idea I had when I started messing with it was to create a game where a man is tethered to a weight, like an escapee prisoner. Thus he moves faster inside the constraints of the tether, but when he reaches the end of the tether he is slowed down by the weight. He was also going to be able to throw it, and all other sorts of fanciness.
The problem is that you need a sort of... rope constraint, of which APE has none programmed in. It has a spring constraint, which works amazing for what it does. Really, the features there I have no problem with. I only wish it had a rope constraint built in. I thought about adding one of my own, and even started looking over the APE source to brainstorm an expansion of the class. Now with classes in full swing though, I really don't have the time.
