30 Day Challenge: Finish CvM Episode 7 - Day 5

So what's happening here is the cult leader Bonzo is egging on his minions to beat the funny into the blue clown Sluggo. The minions are hitting him with rubber chickens that have bricks stuffed into them. Ya know, the usual.

The pain was animating all those rubber chickens. But worth it! Worth it? I'm sticking with worth it.

Here is a shot from the monkey night club where they go to not laugh at clowns. It's a way they test their superior monkeyness. Clowns must receive laughter or they go psychotic. In desperation, they will do anything for a laugh. ANYTHING! Bwa ha ha ha.

30 Day Challenge: Finish CvM Episode 7 - Day 2

Yesterday I started back up on the Clown Versus Monkey movie after taking a break to mess with the Gamemaker Studio software. As much as I liked it, it would never be something I could do all day. Fun, but it didn't keep me up at night.

Clown Versus Monkey, however, follows me around all day.

So here is a screenshot. The kitchen is coming apart and the star of the film, Frozen Ham, finally takes the stage.

A nice video I watched is below. This guy spent 13 years making a three issue comic and shares some insight on bad work habits he identified that slowed him down. I certainly could identify and hope to can learn from this experiment to get the next project done quicker.

Added enemies and the ability to kill them. Thinking about making a game where if you shoot them in the front, they get bigger and bigger. To kill them you have to shoot them in the back. That would mean something, I think.


And here is the tutorial!

Today's Brain Chain

Hey, here is the chain.

- Made Bacon. Didn't eat it.


- Started thinking about Virtuosity movie from the 90s.

- Focused in on the song Party Man by Peter Gabrial.

- So happens that this song just got released on Spotify on 4/14/19.



- Sat on back porch and listened.

- Realized that there were giant holes in my Gabriel exposure.

- Started first album, CAR, determined to sit and listen to the whole durn thing, like people used to do.

- It's okay.

- The big discovery was Here Comes the Flood. This song rules.



- Read what his thoughts were when he wrote it.

- It was about a psychic flood, everyone's thoughts invading everyone else's thoughts with no walls to hold them back.

- He was thinking about short wave radio when he wrote it, but I thought it fits great with the internet world we live in now.

- That got me thinking about the movie Scanners, about how the lead could not keep other people's thoughts out of his head. Most roads lead back to Scanners. I named my son after the main character in Scanners, Cameron.

End of Chain

No video game advancement tonight.

30 Day Challenge - GameMaker Studio - Day 23

Today I just added recoil and some randomization to the bullet direction. Also, an image flip to the gun sprite so it will always stay right side up.



And here is the tutorial!

Okay, so tonight I made a gun and bullets and gave the little guy the ability to kill kill kill.

I drew him too small, but maybe when I add scrolling I can zoom in on him.



And here is the tutorial I am going by. To be honest, I understand about half of what I'm doing, but it's just for kicks, right?

I took a few days off. Yeah yeah, sue me. But, I got back at it today and added a character sprite and some running, jumping, and falling animation. He's a little guy so you may need to press your face to the screen to really see it. Gracias!


And here is the tutorial.

30 Day Challenge - GameMaker Studio - Day 14 and 15

Hello Humans,

I had the day off to do teacher meetings and doc stuff. So now I can just mess around with this program. I started a platformer tutorial and working with the GameMaker Language versus the drag and drop method I had been using.

The problem with the drag and drop is that when you mess something up, you have to dig around for the line of code you fouled up, and the text editor is hidden somewhere secret. No one knows where.

Coding is more like magic. You type in nonsense and magic happens. It's like writing a screenplay, except if your screenplay program had a PLAY button and you could watch it right there. Pretty neat.

So here is what we have so far. Cameron would be satisfied with these graphics. He likes that retro look.



Here is the tutorial I went by.

30 Day Challenge - GameMaker Studio - Day 10 and 11

Got this done right when I got home, before watching two episodes of Umbrella Acadamy with my eldest and then passing out. I dreamed of my whole family at a coffee shop, including extended family. In the corner, I see director Zach Snyder. He's sitting alone and trying to look busy with a briefcase of documents, and by fiddling with a laptop. He looks awkward and even has braces on his teeth. My attention returns to my chaotic family. Then, through the den of the busy cafe, I hear a lone sad tenor. I look over and there is Zach Snyder slowly singing a line about how no one understood why he put that big musical number in Man of Steel. I responded in my own tenor, that I liked that scene, and didn't care what the internet said.

There is no big musical number in Man of Steel.

Here is how breakout is going. Just need to add sound effects and make the game reset when I lose the three lives.


The computer was doing something weird, so there is a drag in performance. I must be running a scan.

LATER THAT DAY...

I added a game reset feature.

Today I started Breakout, due to the demand of Cameron. Much easier than Asteroids thus far.

I got the ball to bounce, the bricks to be in random colors, and the bat to go left and right.

Still to go, give the player three lives, make the bricks react to being hit, and make some groovy sound effects.


And here is the tutorial I worked from.
