Hey wanderers! Just thought I'd make a quick entry since I came up with something fun and simple the past two days for fathers day that other peeps might like too! I made a game instead of a card this year for my Dad and it said 'Happy Fathers Day' when it opened up. You basically shove letters around the screen, imagine a fridge magnet game using physics to zoom letters about; there is actually a magnet mode too!
The instructions for the game are simple. Enter a number into the power box from 1-99 and use the left mouse button to push letters about. The right mouse button will erase letters and you can type in new letters by just pressing a letter on your keyboard (numbers and symbols to come soon!) Also, you can turn magnet mode of and off by pressing the "Magnet Mode" button, this allows you to click and drag letters about. If it all gets too messy for you, just press the reset button and start again =)
The link to the game is here:

Studio Tour!
Should have entered a new entry in here earlier this week, totally forgot though since I've been both busy and ill! I'm still working on the game I mentioned last time that I'm aiming to sell to schools (or maybe give away for free to get my name about) and yet again I'm still not going to put what it is yet! However, once I get some feedback from a friend of mine who's a primary school teacher I will no doubt begin to explain my madness.
For now though, I managed to get a tour around a studio at an undisclosed location and I think it went quite well! The location is being left a mystery because competition for jobs is fierce and to be honest, I REALLY want this job! The studio itself was very nice and had all the necessary tech to do great work with! The job itself is a games developer job and the studio itself was looking for someone with a range of talents, from designing levels to coding to 3D work. All of which I can do plus more =) They aren't hiring right at this moment but they are looking for people, I'm just lucky I came across someone who worked for the studio who offered me an informal interview/tour! Always nice to meet a fellow techie, especially one with far more experience in tech related stuff than yourself (since there's a massive chance to learn new stuff), the rest of the team seemed friendly and hard working too!
Apart from that, I've been working on creating player profiles that save player options and data for my game and being ill! Hayfever caught me off guard, suprise attacked me out of nowhere and I had a runny nose for the rest of yesterday, along with some sort of stomach bug =( I'm better now though, so back to work! Twas also my birthday a while ago (18/05) and I got a nice new A4 notepad from my Dad which I've now begun to fill with notes and code, so much more space than the A5 one I was using before. Finally, I've started to eat Kellogg's All-Bran cereal and believe me, it's so much better -without- milk; I'm pretty sure with milk it tastes like what wet cardboard would taste like. That's all for now, no work to show as of yet since all the work I'm doing is for the primary school game! Ttfn!
