As did the Sierpinski carpet, I spent 8 and a half hours continuously working on it before I got it to work. I suck at this  I should try writing some sort of L-system.

Your Computer posted:Here's a Sierpinski carpet instead! (It's basically the same, just flat!) Shouldn't the carpet just be a polygon, which calls a function to create 8 polygons, each width and height 1/3 of the original height? You could just add each polygon to an array and call the function for each of them.

Only small Java projects and some even smaller game projects. I've already learned a lot from doing these fractals!

Thankfully I've worked with 3D modelling for several years, so at least I know how that works. 2D graphics on the other hand, I have no idea about. Now for that Hilbert curve.. I think I might need to make a new system. My current system is really based on whatever I felt would work for a Koch snowflake. Totally simple "take this line, find these points, make new lines. Rinse and repeat".

Finishing up a sprite animation editor which imports/exports XML. Tile games are fun.  EDIT: Added Internet Janitor's suggestions. Have origins now. No auto-bounding box yet. Also cropped for tables and added blue blobs for added work safe-ness. Jo fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Oct 23, 2010 |

Jo: On the one hand, that seems reasonably useful. On the other hand, you created something new that makes XML and will inevitably create other new things that read XML.  Does it figure out bounding boxes automatically from transparency, or do you set them manually? If you're dealing with variable-size frames you'll probably want some way to define the origin for each one.

TilED, the map editor, exports XML. I figured rather than hack together some binary format it would be easier to just re-use the code. Beside, Python has an easy XML implementation and Java can just copy/paste my loading code. As for the origin, you're right. Thanks for the suggestion.

Implementing the Seeds cellular automaton as a Windows screensaver in C++ with SDL. Heavily cropped (each cell is a pixel, so the size depends on your screen res):  Just to make things more interesting, it randomly deletes a 20-pixel tall row of cells every so often. Sadly, I couldn't get it to exit on mouse movement without exiting before it started. Also it dumps a renamed SDL DLL in your win32 dir if you install it, because I couldn't get SDL to statically link. I provided delete.bat to undo this. You can get it in its current state here.

So I participated in a 24-hour game coding competition (OSGCC) this weekend and me and my teammates got 1st with this DDR-clone done with ASCII art. Of course it was coded in D (because me and one of my teammates are insane) and we had one teammate that was entirely in charge of the music and the ASCII art (she did amazing).  Yeah, that's a narwhal. We had to incorporate 2 themes and ours were randomly picked to be narwhals and corn. Thus the random narwhals and corn absolutely everywhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fil-LXC9CRA

All animations were typed by hand by our amazing artist and we actually have transparency with our ASCIIsprites (as I call them) which affects how we do the draws. You can see an example of one of the animations on our github repo (I love the expression on the narwhal's face in the first and last frames).

I've just started a Computer Arts course where they have wisely asked us to make a flash game. Needless to say, there are a bunch of clueless artists wrestling with actionscript 3. Here's the start of my effort:  Click here for the full 1042x831 image. The pink blob is a hand that you use to drag the clouds around the orbit. Eventually, I'll have it so that you squeeze them to water the forests (which grow) in order to score points. Here's what it will look like once I get to working on the artwork:

 Click here for the full 1920x1150 image. It's a relatively simple Call centre/reception application that I'm building. I'm probably a week or so away from hitting beta stage. I'll be releasing it under some open source licence or other when I'm done (I use a couple of third-party libraries or scripts, so I'll have to figure out licencing based on them. I guess it'll probably end up GPLed or LGPLed.) Anyway, it's a JS Front end (built in ExtJS/Sencha) talking to a php/MySQL back end. I've built it in my spare time outside of work because we sorely need something like this. I figured that if we need it, there's a good chance that other people could benefit from it, too. In fact, I'm looking for a couple of people to alpha-test it. If you're interested, PM me your name and an email address, and I'll set up a user for you.

I know nothing about actual call centres, either. It's actually more geared towards a reception-type role, but I've added a couple of call-centre type ideas such as (very basic) flow and escalation. I'm building it to make my work life easier. It also has email notifications based on priority, and future plans include a mobile app/page which offers a very cut-down version of the calls list, so that people out of the office can see calls assigned to them and respond to them. bobthecheese fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Oct 27, 2010 |

For those of you wanting to play Ascii Ascii Revolution until we get it ported elsewhere you can play it on 64-bit linux right now. James added a 64-bit linux executable to the downloads section of the github page. It requires ncurses (probably installed) and cvlc (in vlc-nox package on ubuntu, vlc package on arch and gentoo). You will also need to download the souce code (downloads tab) and run the executable from this directory so the game can find its resources. I have some plans to at least try to get a version working on windows, and I'm fairly certain I will be able to easily compile that for OS X (after I build ldc that is).

As I said in the other thread, looks pretty good. I'm doing an ExtJS heavy app myself:  Image here It's software for business continuity and makes heavy use of ExtJS TreeGrids, GridPanels and forms; built on top of a Nodejs backend and CouchDB database (so it's pretty much 100% JavaScript). Each form is broken down into component fieldsets that allow me to build up forms using different elements, and I have to do a little pre-processing on some stuff to put the data format for the CouchDB store but not much. We're due to go into Private beta this month with our first client - then we hope to roll it out early next year to paying customers.
