Toad Particle Draw on Android
This is a bit silly – been playing with Processing, getting into the deep geometric capabilities of toxiclibs and GLGraphics and Android. It started as a new VJ… er, “pixelist” app for live performance for a jam session celebrating our friend Olivier Ruellet’s life and untimely death last year from what we think was swine…

Creative Pact Day 8
I swear I did something, but I ran out of time to post it. First, I registered FLKR as a merchant on the Android Marketplace, so I can start selling games. Second, I added some much needed difficulty to the SeaGame prototype, so a giant fish swims by occasionally and blocks you from collecting treasure,…

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

Apparently, as I’ve…

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…

Creative Pact Day 1: AndEngine Physics pt 1
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…
