I'm working on a little desktop application that integrates with Outlook and Google calendar to send reminders about things as text messages to my phone. There's a couple websites out there that let you do this, but I don't really want to go to a website every time I think "poo poo, I need laundry detergent, milk, and a bondage ball before I go home tonight." Google Calendar does this for you already, but I wanted to learn their API for a project I'm working on for a client. This just sits in the tray and you can enter a blank reminder, or choose from appointments in your Outlook calendar or Google Calendar. It works over a webservice to my current hosting provider and the data sits in SQL Server, in case I want to put a web interface up for it sometime.   Welp no Google Calendar image because waffleimages is not taking uploads.

Just finished a really simple Missile Command-inspired game. It was an experiment to see whether I could write an entire game in a day, plus I wanted an excuse to test out SFML. It's not really finished - there's only one level and it just keeps looping until you die - but it's all scripted using GameMonkey (amazing scripting language, btw) so it's really easy to add new levels and enemies.

I've spent the last three weeks working on an entry for the XNA Dream Build competition. Who would have thought that building a game on your own in three weeks was difficult? Anyway, here's the result:  Video of 'Arena' mode (blurry as all gently caress). The core mechanic is that point multipliers are based on how quickly you dispatch each enemy - do it efficiently and you get a bonus based on the enemy's size, and a +1 to your chain (firework). A chain of 5 efficient kills in a row gives x2 multiplier to bonuses, a chain of 10 = x4 and so on. You are only allowed to fire three rockets at any one time, so its all about targeted strikes (or that was the aim anyway). SuperFurryAnimal fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Sep 23, 2008 |

Anyway, here's the result: This is really cool. I am curious, how much work did you have to do in terms of the graphics? For instance, the fire work effects and explosions - was that a particle effect completely created by you, or does XNA have some bases to work off of? Good job, regardless!

It basically boils down to changing parameters and writing some position/scale/rotation code for each effect.

We're doing the official site for the presidential debate commission. This includes a flash app (and extensive backend server infrastructure) that allows you to record your views on a variety of topics, compare them to the candidates, as well as the rest of the USA. You can drill down into some fairly detailed stats, but I think it's fair to say that so far MySpace's demographic isn't a representative slice of the USA.  We'll also be carrying the live streams, and hosting a shitload of post-debate clips. The tech is kind of interesting... we're dynamically generating AS3 code from erb templates on the backend, compiling it, and serving up SWFs which are dynamically linked into the runtime. Our Akamai cache bill is going to be hilarious.

ImDifferent posted:So, there's a core "player" app, which contains all the important stuff, but no UI. The UI for each "page" is retrieved by hitting a merb controller, which reads an XML file, runs it through erb, pipes the result to the AS3 compiler, and serves up the resulting SWF. The SWF is loaded into the main application, and the page is displayed. (Naturally, there's some hashing/caching going on so the compilation only occurs if the source changes). The XML files are "sort of" like mxml, in that they contain primarily layout information as well as snippets of AS3 code, but it's based around our own system - which allows us to do a lot more cool stuff. The nice thing is that when you're working on a single page, recompilation is really fast - our last app had about 100K lines of code, and changing the tiniest thing took forever. this seems pretty sexy. I'll do my best to help crash your precious snowflake system tonight (i.e. using it and futzing around during the debates)

 This is the test suite of my nascent documentation language compiler. I thought this particular run is worth posting because it contains the first full-integration tests of the Grammarian stack (lexer, DOM, a small flock of subclassed handlers for various markup types, and the Grammarian itself, which acts as a sort of message-passing kernel to the modules beneath it), which is responsible for well-formedness checking and turning the source document into a set of manipulable datastructures blah blah blah. Not much to be proud of yet, except that it's flexible as gently caress (it's a proper hand-written LALR parser underneath), very well tested (that's 893 tests for 971 SLOC), and every line of the code is mine (no external modules used). I'm just happy it works.

Pretty pathetic compared to some of the stuff here, but to amuse myself I'm working on a .NET implementation of the RNLI Desktop Pager.  It communicates via SOAP with a web service that has details of the last 12 lifeboat "shouts" around the UK. When a boat launches the service is updated and the application beeps to let you know there's a lifeboat being launched somewhere RIGHT NOW. Ultimately pointless but maybe interesting if you're into nautical stuff or live near the coast or whatever. The official pager is fairly basic with a weird UI, in my version I'm adding stuff like Google Maps support, links to the station webpages and logging so you can compile stats on what launches when and how often.

If you are easily annoyed by something scrolling up from the bottom of the window asking you if you think abortion rocks or not, then best to get the feed elsewhere. Hopefully they won't be too invasive though. Didn't bother me at all. I've watched the VP and the second Presidential debates via the feed, and it's more rock-solid than I can get from C-SPAN or CNN. It bends my laptop's CPU over its knee and gives it a good pegging, but I can't complain
