ThePointingMan Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Journalatization time. I was thinkin to myself, Why would I have a journal, and then I decided the better question was, why wouldn't I have a journal.So, I shall now begin with the printing of the journalling on my virtual peice of paper, about the interesting things I am doing!I've been working on a special C++ project... and by special I mean it'll be my first game to have pictures in it, it's the game of memory. You know, with the cards you flip an try and get pairs of. So far so good with it, or at least it would be if the book I had been reading to learn c++ programmings version of direct X it teaches you how to use is old, The direct X sdk no longer uses direct draw, it's something new, direct 2d. With any luck they will be similar, but I have no idea about anything involving direct 2d.On another note, I finally got every single treasure in pikmin 2... and my cat fell off my lap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePointingMan Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 AWRIGHT!!! I programmed an etch a sketch in C++, AND I BEAT SHARK ATTACK ON HARD MODE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkyway64 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I BEAT SHARK ATTACK ON HARD MODE!!!I'd have done that long ago if I could take the damn game seriously.Really, I can't really try at a game where I have to WATCH MY PC'S BOOBS in order to not die. I'll stick to my touhou I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick to my touhou I think.... You don't have to... you notice when you hit the focus button, it shows the hitbox... whitch just happens to be the HEAD!!!Also, me and my friend are gonna create our very first game. I will be programming in the language of c++, he's making sprites, oh and another friend is making music.This isn't what the game looks like, but through our extensive amount of time in design ( about a night... a very long night ) This is a picture made from the sprites that where created for the game.http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/8683/mockupscreen.jpg3 fireing types you can switch between, S spread, L laser, and E explosion!!!Added bonus List of my priorities!!!1) make ship sprite able to move2)make the ship shoot.3)make the ship change weapon4)Scrooooolin background!!!

Milkyway64 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 ... You don't have to... you notice when you hit the focus button, it shows the hitbox... whitch just happens to be the HEAD!!!I remember it being the upper chest area/throat, actually. In either case, it's oddly placed and needs getting used to to get anywhere, and the fact that the game is DIPPING in over the top furry (?) fanservice just makes it utterly impossible to take seriously. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePointingMan Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Hehe, I suppose, but I don't take anything seriously, so whatever.Also, saying I'll stick to my Touhou, comparing Shark attack to Touhou, just isn't right, Super Nova mebbe, but Touhou...Ho K!!! Getting close to getting a sprite in my game And I listened to the first clip of the song one oh my friends is making for it sounds awesome!Oh yeah, and "User," you're inbox is full.

Milkyway64 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Also, saying I'll stick to my Touhou, comparing Shark attack to Touhou, just isn't right, Super Nova mebbe, but Touhou...What do you mean? Shark Attack is a horizontal shmup, Touhou is vertical, but otherwise they are sorta similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePointingMan Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Nyeh, Touhou is like, a different style of shmup. They are pretty dang comparable, but it doesn't feel right comparing them. Touhou is full of tiny little movements through a sheet of relatively slow moving bullets, a bullet hell, shark attacks like, quick bullets that aren't everywhere, you gotto make big movements and always be moving.

ThePointingMan Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Stupid errors and their being dumb, currently you would be able to move the space ship around on a terribly drawn background (mad by me ) but there some errors, and not the ones that are easily fixed.

ThePointingMan Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 HA!!! HAHAHA!!! I'VE DONE IT!!! I have officially made ONE OFFICIAL BLUE SCREEN OF LIFE!!!See, I had some errors with my program, things weren't getting included properly and a whole big mess, turns out dev c++ just has some problems linking stuff up. I also found out that Direct3D can do everything DirectDraw can do... only faster! So I made a window with a blue background, and that is my blue screen of life, for now! THINGS GIT SERIOUSH! Is good day to be me. Now it's a FULL SCREEN blue screen of life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePointingMan Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 http://thepointingman.bandcamp.com/track/not-named-yeeeeeet BAM!!! I make music Too! I just whipped this up before bed tonight, it's kinda crappy, but kinda neat, and I'm probably not done with it. I'd also suggest a listening to to some of my older ones, http://thepointingman.bandcamp.com/album/pitty-party I like Music!, Nodular, A Lack Of Sleep, and Name the most, a Pan of goods would be in that list, but I really hate the end of it. Some of the others are o.k. too, An earblead in a nutshell was the first song I made btw.Also, Direct 3d Rocks, I made a primitive triangle (2d) that fades from color to color all over it.The way things are going, I'll be working on ProtoMaster FOR REALS in no time! Sprites for the ship are done, as well as some enemies, so it's up to me to get it working good. I could probably do the majority of it right now if it weren't for the loading bitmaps onto my little shapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePointingMan Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 I will admit, beating up dogs is pretty cool but my cat beats up people, everyone I know is convinced she is pure evil, yet she fallows me everywhere that is in her range limit of how far she will go away from the house. Wherever I sit she jumps on my lap, I have priority over everyone else when she chooses who's lap she shall sit on. When I used to deliver newspapers she'd fallow me on the route until her limit has been met of how far she'll go, then she waits in the spot for me to return. ahem, but enough about judging who's cat is the best, cause that can't really be done now can it.
