Román's idea seemed good excuse for me to start playing around with flash game development... you know, logic, timing, addiction, scores and all that.

It also was a nice little project for try gTween out, which seemed a bit weird in some cases, but was very easy to use.

And, this time the bug in flash player seemed to have random delays when playing sounds. It is only on the Linux version tho, on the other platforms everything was perfect.

Have fun!

... Pheww! I wonder how those business men can handle this rhythm.

This is how the update performed in one of my computers:









Yeeeey!!!

... they live in the same neighbourhood where the Operating System they use is being developed on.

Just found it out today after wondering where Canonical was based.

Ok ok! I know... partly developed. Better? :)

This is a follow up of this post.

Well, aparently this was Apple's drivers fault. I've updated Bootcamp to 2.1 and now SP3 it's installing with no problems.

On Thursday, 28 August 2008, BT accidentally cancelled our broadband connection, leaving us without an internet connection for a full week while we were being "re-provisioned". In order to make being cut-off from the virtual world more bearable, we created our own local internet, out of files that were on our harddrives, and some argue it was actually better than the real thing. Make up your own mind, because as a tribute to the week we had, hi-res.net is being replaced with

The Internet (2008)

Mixed and Matched Media

Normal service will resume shortly, while we are re-provisioning this site.

Give it a go, I'm sure you will like it. If the page is not too surreal, and it feels really geeky, I was probably behind it ;D.

Another thing I can get rid from my to-do list. My introduction to the Pixel Bender/Flash10 Shaders world. Yesterday afternoon I decided to give it a try and see how all this worked

First thing was setting up FDT to compile Flash10 movies, something that ended up being quite easy thanks to this post. By the way, in case you're wondering... FDT on Ubuntu seems to be doing very well, no problems so far. Unfortunately I had to go to Windows in order to do the Pixel Bender part.

Dealing with Pixel Bender was kind of fun, although I was missing a timer (incremental) value, something to easily test my filter moving. Maybe there is something for it already but I just didn't find it on the few hours I played with it.

Once the filters were done I tried them with Flash10, and then that Tinic post popped into my mind and realised how slow it was (compared to the Pixel Bender). I'm sure the filters can be optimised but I just left them easier to understand so whoever feels like can start playing with the values. However, they are fast enough for 512x512 action or for fullscreen single frame distortion.

Ok, show time...

If you're wondering how I managed to do that many effects in just a couple of hours, here it's a hint... iq.

All the .as, textures and compiled shaders are here.

What to do now? Well, I would suggest you to download Pixel Bender load any of those .pbk files, find the line where it says // This is where the magic happens and play with the formulas there and make your own ones.

Have fun! :)
