Socoder -> What Have You Done -> WW:May 5th 2010

Success

What did you get done this week.
  • JNKPlat 2010 : Another 12 levels pack, 2 new tiles added.
  • Gravity Bombs
  • Socoder : Tweaked showcase pages a bit, added forum section.

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    No.

    JNKPlat had to skip a few extra tiles, due to time. Trying to fit all that into a day probably wasn't a great idea.

    Gravity Bombs should've had super-swirl, but I couldn't figure out a nice way to keep the framerate up. Trying to over-size 5000 sprites certainly wasn't the right way to go!

    I also tried to AJAXify the upload system in the showcase, but it all went horribly pear shaped, and I ended up throwing away about 3 hours work. Bugger..


    Fail

    What didn't you get done?
  • JNKPlat "The Fourth Trailer"
  • Shoutbox Tweets

    Why not?
    Lack of time.

    The "Fourth" trailer was due to be posted on May the Fourth, and I thought it'd be neat to make it into a nice big StarWars style video. After trying to come up with "Orchestral JNKPlat Theme" for about 6 hours, I finally gave up trying..

    In addition, and with only half an hour to do it, I tried to get tweets posted in the shoutbox. Obviously not enough time, and I also managed to send the contents of the shoutbox back in time!


    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    This! Then I'm probably going to try that Twitter thing again.

    How's that going?
    I'm not sure yet. Might slow down the server trying to communicate with Twitter, so I'll see what I can do about that.

    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • JNKPlat
  • That 9px Beastie
  • Passup/Not Down
  • Carrier Vines
  • More Levels

  • WarioWare DIY
  • Two new games (3782-1929-5444)

  • AGameAWeek
  • Possibly redo The Gear That Works, but I should probably just go all random on it's ass and see what pops up. Done loads of remakes this year, so far!!

  • Socoder
  • I should probably get around to fixing that "Doesn't turn off" thing on the sidebars!

    Success

    What did you get done this week.
  • Got my game updater working! woo
  • Started working on some networking, and smoothing out performance in my game
  • Begun reviving my GUI project for game.
  • A small hardware side project involving an arduino mega and a ton of servos. A few engineering friends from uni and I are trying to make low-cost animatronics. Wee...

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    Sort of, It was a headache for sure and i wish it'd have went smoother. One little muck-up between upper and lower filenames had me scrambling for the day seeing why the server had been refusing files. Not only that, but the host i'm using hated the way i handle FTP uploads, and would throttle a connection if i didn't limit it some how, but that was easily solved by NOOP'ing after every transaction. it's a hack but sometimes you have to play by wonky rules.

    Fail

    What didn't you get done?
  • My Game. hurhurhur....
  • No but seriously, All of this mucking about with the updater set me back with my goals for the week, and left me a little burned out. Time for a few days break...

    Why not?
    I am lazy and need to prioritize, but really needed to get the damned updater working properly before I send out any tests of the game, since i hate having to deal with packing up nitpicked changes.


    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    My arduino project, and waking up.

    How's that going?
    Waking up, I guess it's going OK, need food

    As for the arduino project, wrote a condensed servo test routine within 3 / 32kb max that runs through each attached box and makes sure they're able to perform a full range of motion within 3 seconds (the benchmark) with no hitches, then queries the user after each one to see if it did. It's a mess of wire right now but i've only had it for a day!


    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • Continue working on Paranox - Perhaps think about testing it on other systems.
  • Get my arduino project off the ground and buy proper hardware instead of raiding my assorted drawer of crap i've ripped off of busted little gadgets.
  • Bake a cake

    Success

    What did you get done this week.
  • Finished groundwork for a little thing I'm playing about with.
  • Did a little bit more on a TF2 map I've been working on and off at since forever (but that's not really coding ).
  • Not much else...

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    Experimental project is going REALLY slowly, but only because I a) don't work on it all the time and b) spend forever checking my logic and testing the system at every stage to avoid headaches later.

    Fail

    What didn't you get done?
  • As much coding on experimental project as I would've liked, but it's still more than before.

    Why not?
    See above. Also I'm lazy.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    This post. Homework, hopefully followed by coding.

    How's that going?
    Sort-of-OK, all considered.


    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • Plan next bit of coding.
  • Do next bit of coding.
  • Do it before next week.

    Success

    What did you get done this week.
  • Built all of my Cryptography mind maps for the first two thirds of the module: Watermarking and Security.
  • Went through all of the Cryptography notes for the maths section (but no mindmaps yet)
  • Started a new image built using Inkjet.
  • Built mind maps for a few sections of a Graphics module.
  • Revised my Graphics mindmaps for two thirds of the module: Image representation and Computer Animation.

    The Cyptography stuff all went to plan. I've also had my Graphics mindmaps up for a month but hadn't revised any of it yet, so I was happy I had got started with revising.

    Fail

    What didn't you get done?
  • Have all of the Graphics mindmaps built (there are still lots to do).
  • Complete the image I started building in Inkjet.
  • Complete an old image of Wolfwood from Trigun that I have been working on for ages.

    Why not?
    Part lazyness, part lack of time. Some aspects took way longer then I had originally planned. I also spent too much time messing with tiny side projects, such as a compression algorithm I was tinkering with last night.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    Completing those Graphics mindmaps and going through all of the maths for it. I'm also planning to review the material so I could potentially skip some sections if I'm very strong in everything else.

    How's that going?
    Potentially I could have this done within 2 days.

    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • Graphics exam on monday (need to revise for that).
  • Cryptography exam on Wednesday (need to revise for that).
  • Need to start on building Networks mindmaps for an exam in the week after.

    Success

    What did you get done this week?
  • Made it through my homework
  • Polished nav for site
  • Got some site framework up
  • Reopened my facebook account... No idea why the hell I did that

    Did everything turn out as planned?
    For the most part, yeah. There was really no "plan" all along, so...

    Fail

    What didn't you get done?
  • Could have done more for my website

    Why not?
    Lazyyyyy.

    Now

    What are you working on right now?
    Need to get my site done, and keep up with my homework. Should be fun (Also need to figure out some way to make money)
    How's that going?
    Not too shabby. But I'm lazy...

    Next

    What's the plan for the week ahead?
  • More working on my website
  • Keep up with homework
  • Make money...
