Mac 'n' Cheese

darn, i'm running out of videos to put already

anyway, if this blog ever gets unupdated again,
you can head over to my old class blog
(for those who didn't know anyway)
http://dg078class.blogspot.com/
it's a collection of videos i get from animation sites,
so you can hang around there
it has more posts so statistically
it should be updated more often
hahaha

google voice search now in malaysian flavour

whuuuuuut, as awesome as it is i can't imagine it being used a lot
i mean malaysia is already pretty small, and the number of tech savvy
people in malaysia is probably smaller

plus it has its also in indonesian and latin american spanish
but that's not important

qwop

working on something for a bit so here's some
relatively old game commentary, kinda NSFW
but if you're cool with a few swears it gets
kinda funny past 1.30

04 February 2011

and a happy belated cny

working on some belated comics
i have the dialogues typed out for the 3/5 months
just need to draw them

01 February 2011

and now sommore

pretty much half the major project page http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/tagged/major_projects


some of the animations where there were early versions and final versions
are grouped together now (the games are not though)


the youtube videos are updated in coding while some are moved to vimeo
(looks smoother but have to wait)


oh, there’s a new robert turntable http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/post/3033237743/robertnewturntable


and there’s a new magicians cat, it’s an old animation though http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/post/3033044378/magicianscat

29 January 2011

keeping up with the tradition

of not informing anyone that i’ll be going back to kedah
where there’s no internet and or i’m too lazy


check


okaythen so here’s a rundown of some updates


uploaded all the pictures of my sculptures
http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/post/2982351798/kherchalinnutfinal
http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/post/1142672752/makingkhercalinnut

got the minigame up and running http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/post/2983680273/cratev1
uploading

some videos to youtube and vimeo will tell you all when it’s done

09 December 2010

08 December 2010

well, that was pretty silly

after drawing the background there was suddenly a significant lag in gameplay
so i spent a few days optimizing the code thinking there was a lot of
redundant commands like checking every frame for a hidden variable or
fetch an invisible ball that does not exist or possibly calculating positional
collision for all characters

well, fetching 100 invisible balls didn't cause the lag

after some looking around teh interwebs i has discovered that apparently
vector graphics can cause lag, whut ? i refuse to believe graphics that
require the computer to mathematically calculate every double angle of
thousands of points stretching a wide area of effect for every 24 frames
is more cpu intensive than displaying some bitmap graphics

so i tried to prove them wrong by doing so


my beautiful vector, -sniff-
and what did i get ?
oh, an improvement
daaaayuuuum,
but that does explain why a lot of games are pixel sprites

anywho, being stubborn and such i just went back
and redrew all my backgrounds so they aren't
too vector heavy ish

05 December 2010

gaah darn

all i need to do now is draw the background,
but, i have actually no idea what it looks like,
i have such awesome planning skills

30 November 2010

i am now at the point

where most of the code is stable,
as in no wrong sprites at wrong instances,
no accidentally walking through walls,
stuff like that, you get the idea,
that being said, i'm going to make a minigame so
that you can help me test the coding, hahaha

26 November 2010

24 November 2010

a bunch of codings

it may not mean much but here's a list

fixed
- stop running into wall
- waffle finish swing when attack stops
- biscuit can only smash ground if he's stationary and there's a ground in front of him
- pancake does not fire arrows like machine gun (although many would like that)
- slight sprite problem where waffle is standing in the air for 1 frame when jumping

added
- slight ease (no abrubt stop)
- enemy sight (a bit like solid snake, except 2d)
- interactive crate (yes, you can now smack a crate)
- spring (un noodle like)

14 November 2010

09 November 2010

progress 1



well, actually i've done a lot more than this but meh,
seeing if i can inject as much animation principles
without compromising the responsiveness of the
controls, so things like acceleration and certain
ease in and out will not be coded in

i find some of those really annoying though, don't
you ? like when you want to make a small step you
have to painfully wait till the character finishes some
ridiculously absurd exponential acceleration curve

01 November 2010

dang the jump

jumping should be easy right ?
yea it is

// jumping
while (varjumpfix>(-2)) {
   varjumpfix--;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && varjumpfix<0) {
   if (_root.objground.hitTest(_root.objplayer._x, _root.objplayer._y, true)) {
     varjumpfix = 3;
     varfall = varjumpheight;
   }
}

how about controlling it ?
well kinda,

with only one button
hrrm,

a tried and true game method is holding the button determines the amount of
force propelling the character forward, although it goes against realworld
where the height of a jump is predetermined by the amount of force exerted
against the ground

only problem now is how to get it on script

was hoping he'd choose the fish

27 October 2010

hmmm, redraw

going to make them a bit younger
3 main characters for an upcoming project

in my time for doing something productive

i wish i have a tv

24 October 2010

not that i do often, hahaha, ohwell

02 August 2010

whut

i've been jumping through hoops with iframe
and object works just fine, daaaaaaaaaaaaah

31 July 2010

a few weeks ago i was sick

so i started playing games which
i haven't continued for so long ago

yea, drawn to life, finally finished you after 2 or 3 years,
cute concept, but drawing on the ds feels cramped,
plus it's supposed to be like a kids game
but the bosses are like friggin hard,
oh, hippo clouds, i'll miss you

26 July 2010

oh, woot !



hahahahahaha, finally, the first result in a google search,
which ... would only be a good thing if people actually
google that strange word
the next step is just to make a name for myself, or so to say

anywho, some of you may have noticed i changed the tumblr
layout again, oh, ok, just one of you

so anyway, as usual, i think it's better,
more minimalistic, plus a cool intro post thing

actually i was finding a way to make the slider javascript
work on individual posts, i can apply it on the general layout
but when doing a div class on posts there seems to be some
auto correct function which deletes and reformats the
sentences
iframe still works though, so that was an iframe

anywho, most exciting button, the random button, hahaha
http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/

30 June 2010

oh whut, again ?

ok ok, i can safely say this will be the last time (in a long while) the main koleksigr is now in tumblr (http://koleksigr.tumblr.com/) check it out
i'll give you the quick run though of the advantages

like any modern websites it makes use of server side includes (those are php pages which any html is dynamically altered according to certain specifications and fetches, which i can't for the life of me figure out how to code manually)

one html / css for all
(that means i only need to alter the html / css on one page and it is changed for all, unlike previously when i change one code in a page i have to make the same changes for all the others, this obviously gets more tedious the more pages i have)

everything can be edited online
(why yes, super, no more relying on ftp clients which disconnects a lot and take ridiculously long times to upload tiny kbs of files)

tags and organization of data
(oh, server side includes again, posts can be reorganized to how you want to see things, using tags, awesome, when i want to add content to a page for example previously i have to fire up dreamweaver, edit a line of coding, then reupload the new html, now i can just add a post and it'll organize itself accordingly)

auto refresh and hopefully some google
(mmm, now the currently working on is -actually- current instead of a browser cache of the same picture, plus theres a better possibility of it being indexed on google, on zymichost the chance is quite close to 0 because i dunno the code)

an added bonus is that my previous design can almost faithfully be reproduced in tumblr's advanced theme editor

the only thing is that cannot use javascript on pages (darn), no biggie, the easyslider.js for the comics are cool but not very practical so i wouldn't really miss that (sniff), and the final project page which has the prettyphoto.js is still on zymichost so that'll still work

ohya, darn, no iframe, it's not a ww3 standard but i totally abuse it, well i need it for the chatbox so i'll find a way somehow

ah, kay then, longest post i ever made

23 June 2010

whuu, some update

well, not either comics,
final project and grad campaign hogging up too much time,
but there was a bit done for the maintenance part,
moved most of the images from dropbox to google,
the unnoticable difference is that it loads slightly faster,
also i think i've been abusing dropbox too long,
plus i got rid of the shadows after a long thought,
yea it looks cool, but it makes browser render the site slower,
but it's the content that's king right ? right ?

06 June 2010

long time ago i googled my name

there wasn't much results
just one entry of me getting second place
in some art competition back in isa
after 4 years just for fun googled again

whuuut is this ?! there's suddenly a boom
in people called jared ramos
hogging up my beautiful google first page results
lool
one from california, another from quezon city,
another from philippines and some which i can't identify

anywho, the first result was pern's blog entry about my pudu
which is nice in a way, but i lost my competition page
from 4 years ago, darn, should have screenshottedit

05 June 2010

28 May 2010

i've been to a&w

they've changed their trademark glass mugs
to the standard fastfood paper cups
i'm going to miss those heavy glasses
i think even their plates are paper now

besides that there was a blackout today
lightning caused some switch to flip off
the annoying bit was that it was only my house
lasted around 6 hours, that's also why i
walked to a&w, to kill time, hahaha

oh, and somehow zk knows about my webbie
probably the last person i expected to
have found out, the integrity of my
"9 people who knows my site" statement
is now compromised

26 May 2010

eeee

shing shing like my cat and dog
happyyyy, hahaha
which means my webbie is somehow getting
attention from ppl outside dg
waitaminute, what am i saying ?
6 of the 9 ppl who knows my site is not from dg
puh

21 May 2010

yes yes yes

i now has rounded corners, how awesome is that,
anyway, i've been reading a lot about iframe and why
it should not be used cos it's not a valid w3 standard,
but i've been using it a lot and it seems compatible
with all the major browsers, so i don't really know
what the big fuss is about

anyway took out chunks from the header and footer to
keep to my minimalistic theme

also, tried looking around for methods on how to auto
refresh or auto clear browser cache so the end user
(you) don't have to but failed miserably
so i guess you're stuck to manually refreshing the
pages from time to time, yea

ohya, if you're still using the old rss feed, do
change to the new one, feeds.feedburner.com koleksigr-twitter

19 May 2010

pooh

spent the whole day with a friend from miri i haven't seen since 2004
around 830pm walked him back to the train station
that was the furthest i walked away from sunway pyramid
felt so proud

oh, deviantart website layout changed
looks zoomed in but any artsite that shows more of the artwork is welcomed

18 May 2010

ohya

did i mentioned i have suddenly become-ed co president of a group of 145 students ?
on another note, this batch is doomed

15 May 2010

puh, school

seems zymchost is down on my side for a while
(edit) oh ok, seems to be back now

10 May 2010

sweet peas, finalleh

http://koleksigr.zymichost.com/index.html

whoa whoa whoa, i can't even begin to say
what are the things that has changed since i last
uploaded the files to the server
all i can say is look around and see if you can find
the new stuff on your own
for those using css3 complaint browsers
(those using webkit or gecko rendering engine)
(or less savvy, latest safari, firefox and chrome)
some buttons has gradients, yes, if you look carefully
and other mish mash
plus most of the comics are now unflashed
(nyeh sofia, you has no reason not to see my comic anymore, hahaha)

anywho, totally neglected my responsibility for final project
probably should get back to that soon

21 April 2010

site update

http://koleksigr.zymichost.com/index.html

nothing too obvious though
rewrote all the pages to make use
of div and css and totally scrap tables,
in theory this is suppose to help in
the long run

can totally check it out by right clicking
and view page source, or view source, or source,
whatever browser you're on,
yes, very exciting

anywho, just wanted to write something
oh, new favicon too

11 April 2010

darn you internet explorer

just realized my site was rendered crappy ly
on internet explorer,
firefox, safari and chrome was all ok looking,
well, opera was a bit funky,
but not as funky as ie
but no matter, i think i fixed that somehow

10 April 2010

poop da whoop

so anyway freehostia's ftp is a bit messed up
and their web uploader has a cap of 500kb a file,
now then ben indirectly introduced me to zymichost
whose ftp's ok but there seems to be no other way
of uploading files to their host,
plus p1 seems to be having an unusual amount of
maintenance days causing internet lag which effects
uploading to freehostia zymic and even dropbox,
but anyway just to let you know there's now
http://koleksigr.freehostia.com/
http://koleksigr.zymichost.com/
so if there's no content on one there should be
some on the other

06 April 2010

weebly was fun

i kinda knew this was coming, just not so soon
moved the koleksi to freehostia, where i get to
fully edit all html and css scripts
it's like a proper host kinda thing

but at the same time i'll miss weebly
i've had almost absolutely no complaints while i was there
it really was the 'make your own website for the average guy'
kinda site,
but that meant you have to use the sites page builder
it's like stripping down a scientific calculator to its
bare numbers, you're sacrificing advanced options for
ease of use,

i guess overall, i was quite happy using weebly, and if
anything should ever happen, i'll just move the site back

05 April 2010

can junk food be considered addictive

according to the article
a few decades ago, the drug cocaine was likened to junk food,
meaning it wasn't a serious problem and a simple measure of taking away
the drugs can stop people from continuing to abuse it,
years later cocaine is considered a serious addiction problem,
now junk food is considered a serious addiction problem,
theres studies linking the addiction of cocaine and junk food are caused by similar effects,

so yea, don't blame the fat people

oh, creative suit 5

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2010/03/25/adobe-counts-down-to-april-12-launch-for-creative-suite-5/

i hope they make it faster instead of more features though
and less crash prone, yea, that too
although i'll still stick with cs3
i misss flash mx, sniff

08 March 2010

computers are sexist

hahahaha, kinda true though
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8548131.stm
probably the easiest solution is to just
read the brainwaves so computers can directly
understand the thoughts of people
1984 anyone ?

07 March 2010

sweet, i got my bag back

going home from kedah to kl
bag broke at the airport
so like, sad la, my mom ask me to file a complain
so went to some department which is in the lost and found
waited for quite a while and filled out some forms
then went home, later a few days an agent come
and take a look at the bag
oh, he said, see if i can fix it, then he stole my bag
few more days later he came back and said well,
turns out i can't fix it, here's a new bag
sweet
besides the fact that it's like an unknown brand and it
looks like it has been in the storage for years
it's actually much better quality than my broken one
which the agent stole
