Playing Piano

     Yay, I’ve gone from game design, to programming, to video editing, and now finally playing a few things.  Nothing big yet, but it’s not bad.  Added a new Music section to the site gallery.  Let me know what you guys think and how I can improve.  I’m not doing any sound editing yet, just plain keyboard piano, but maybe later I’ll look into it.  Some guides would be nice if you guys have any. :)

Jeopardy Maker 1.0

     Finally got around to learning another programming language - this time moving into Flash and ActionScript 3.0 :D (also first time coding a stand-alone program)  My first major project being a Jeopardy boardgame requested by a few teachers at my school.  Figured why create 4 seperate games when I can make one to suit them all. ;)

Jeopardy Maker

     Jeopardy Maker is a fully-featured and customizable Flash application.  The program is written entirely in ActionScript 3.0 and designed to run on any Windows computer with Adobe Flash support (which virtually every modern computer has).  Categories, rows, columns, daily doubles… are all generated and calculated by the program on the fly.  All you have to do is enter the questions and answers.  The program supports any number of rows and columns (the max. being until your computer explodes) as well as many other optional settings (# Daily Doubles, Final Jeopardy, point values, etc).
    
     Features:
     - Supports any numbers of rows and columns, calculated by the number of questions and answers you give it.
     - Everything is automatic; just enter your desired questions, answers, and categories in the appropriate txt files.
     - Daily Doubles generated randomly each time.  Option to set number of daily doubles or disable.
     - Final Jeopardy question at the end; optional.
     - Countless settings for more advanced users: seperate Q/A folders for loading seperate games, changeable table and fontsizes, and other quirks.
    
     *Designed and tested ‘.exe’ for PC, but I can easily create a ‘.app’ for Mac.  Contact me if interested.

     Download or try the online demo for yourself: Jeopardy Maker

Castle Blood 2.0 in Works

     Rivergod has taken up the task of updating Castle Blood 1.1 for Age of Empire III’s second expansion.  Best of luck to him as it will no doubt take some time to do.  It’s never easy working from another’s code.

      He has also started a new thread for suggestions and updates to Castle Blood 2.0’s updates, which you can view here: Castle Blood 2.0

     I will more or less remain as advisor to the project as I do not even own the game anymore.  But knowing my own scripting habits, there will no doubt be some confusion along the way. :P

Fort Wars Source Code

     Finally released the Fort Wars source code.  Select persons may view the code in the forums: Fort Wars Source.  This is just to give some people an idea of what went behind the scenes of Fort Wars.

     Sorry I do not intend for anyone to be able to update from viewing it.
