Winter Particles
Happy Holidays! It’s been ages since I posted anything, mostly because I’ve been so busy teaching at UCA Farnham and Openlab Workshops. Here’s a little something for the holidays. The code is below, and the source image was courtesy of Jan Tik on Flickr.

Creative Pact Day 6: SeaGame v001
Today (for Creative Pact 2010) I took my little game engine and created a fully working game out of it. I finished some more assets – rocks and shells and things you find near the water, traced from some pictures I took on the banks of the Thames. The goal is to collect the buried treasure…

Creative Pact Day 5: Beach Game
I have this idea of doing a game where you dig in the sand and find buried treasure. Trying to get it done in a day is tricky… I basically finished making some assets today (only have about 1.5 hrs or so to do it in). Here are a few cute lil’ images I…

Creative Pact Day 3: Knocking Things About
Result – this is actually game-like! Today’s lesson in that things are always more difficult than they seem. Tried adding a MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVED detector to the onSceneTouchEvent() method of my TouchSprites so they could detect when a finger dragged over them and subsequently would knock them about, but had a bit of trouble. Apparently, as I’ve…

Creative Pact Day 2: CatFishTron

Pixelpusher and The Cane Toads at Shunt
The Cane Toad Orchestra featuring PixelPusher (or so I like to call it) is playing Shunt next Thursday, Oct 1, 2009, as part of Toplap’s Livecode stage.

Noise Spears Processing Sketch
This is my suped-up version of the old flight404 and toxi Processing sketch – it uses Perlin noise to create a moving field of very organic-looking daggers. toxi used it for hairs, and now I made an intricate version that uses 3D daggers drawn using OpenGL.
