  • Creative Pact Day 2: CatFishTron

    Today I’m going to create more of a “game,” eventually called CatFishTron.  No, really.  I’ll be learning how to add sound to a game, a moving background, and maybe, if I have time, add some self-removing sprites (for explosions, etc!) First task – to make a sprite “blow-up” in AndEngine you use a SequenceModifier and…

    For Creative Pact 2010 I’m going to be teaching myself how to make a game using the open source AndEngine for Android mobile devices.  apparently, Android apps are the next goldrush, the biggest thing since skinny jeans, and I never got a pair of skinny jeans so I might as well jump in the deep…

  • building an android app

    Giant Google Android statue with puppy and cupcake by ToastyKen, on Flickr I decided to take the plunge and develop an Android app.  We’ve got a good idea for a game for all ages.  A really good idea.  I could have started on a iPhone/iPad app, but I am put off by Apple’s “curatorial” ways…

  • Simple Depth-of-field in Processing

    I hacked up an example of doing depth-of-field in Processing, based in part on the Bloom example that comes with the GLGraphics library, and heavily in part on Memo’s pervious experiment with DOP.  It does depth-of-field based solely on the brightness of the pixels, and relies on the fact that the background is white, but…
