New Hobby Update

For those who haven't read the post titled "New Hobby", read that one first!

I have decided to use this blog as a way to show the progress in my game designing process. Working with the graphics from yesterday, and some new code thank to a tutorial at This Page I have a new version of the game now.

I put a link into the tutorial because I feel it is important to give credit to the people that deserve it, finding good tutorials for Flash 8 is fairly difficult, but his worked amazingly well.

I took out the "attacks" of this version, I will put them back later.

Move Left/Right --> Arrow Keys
Climb/Descend Ladder/Boxes --> Up/Down Arrows
Jump --> Space Key
Crouch --> Down Key (when not on a latter/box)

New Hobby

Here's a random, non-Germany related blog entry for today, just 'cause I can.

I picked up a little new hobby this year, just because I wanted something to do in my free time. Programming. It sounds boring, and a lot of it is, but making a game can be fun (I am using Flash). I wouldn't suggest it to people who get easily frustrated, have trouble finishing things, enjoy sleeping at night, or have trouble writing tons of unintelligible lines of code without typos. Strangely, those are all things that describe me. I guess it's kinda like someone that has a fear of spiders taking on a hobby as a spider breeder.

I chose this little hobby because I was looking for video games (my other little hobby) for my Mac and I realized how few there are, and how expensive they are (*Windows version -> 10$* *Mac version -> 50$*). I thought if I started easy, I could maybe work my way up eventually and help out all the people like me who just want to entertain themselves on their Macs without spending a bunch of money.


Here is a sample of a days work on a Flash program, you can't even call it a game yet, but I like how it's coming along. At my current level of programming skill, something like this takes a few hours (animation and coding).







Movement -> Arrow Keys
Jump (when standing still) -> Up Key
Crouch -> Down Key
Weak Punch -> C Key
Strong Punch -> X Key

Note -- Don't expect anything to come at you, like enemies, because there aren't any, you just walk around the one part of the stage.

To start, click on the ---PLAY--- link below and then just click anywhere inside the animation box on the new page, you will need Flash Player to get it to work.

Have Fun

This year until now in a mosiac

This was just a test for a bigger project at first, but it turned out OK so I thought I would share it with the few people each day who still look at the blog. I haven't had much motivation to write new blogs lately. You can show your longing for more news by posting a comment (just writing "write more" is enough) to let me know you were here!

Every square in this picture is a picture that I have either taken in Germany this year, or used in some way in Germany (pictures of my home town, for example, to show to people in Germany).

The big picture is me in front of the Hamburg capitol building.

Enjoy.
