What a Place to Live!

A Saturday book out this time and it rained in the afternoon. I was suppose to go picnic with my girlfriend but because of the rain, we decided to just bring our food to East Coast Park to eat and cycle. The day was short as we met only around 4pm in the afternoon.

My fourth book out on Friday, which is also one of my most worrying book out because I will not be able to to book out the next week and will have to go for my 6 days field camp.

But I enjoyed my days during this book out too.

Will be back on first of August.

I am going to book in again.

I was arranging the files that I had to send to the guys I worked for on some games today. As I was packing the files, I saw a Flash game that I did earlier last year during my internship. I almost forgotten about this game! That was like so long ago.

I could remember that I was asked to do a maze game in Flash during the internship for one of their clients. At first, I thought the maze could look very complex and I should prepare something for that. I had the idea to make this process a more simplified one.

I started writting a set of classes that allows me to design the map and place game items on the maps. The set of classes(or rather the main thing) will calculate and handle the collision detections and renders the map. Each individual items should be an object of itself so that I could make the different items in the game to have its own properties and magical capabilities. And I can easily add the items as children of the main game by calling addChild().

Since the client did not send us the information for the game yet that time, I used the Bomberman sprites as a demonstration for them. I later was busy with some other things and didn’t have any time for this. The eventual maze game(for the client) also turned out to be a lot simpler and didn’t require any major enhancement, which was also another reason I didn’t go on to make improvements. The main reason was of course I am very very very lazy.

What really beats me is how could I have forgotten about this…Bomberman was one of my favourite childhood superheroes…I even collected many sets of their models! haha!

So this is going to be the first entry of my first blog! Great!

I installed and started the blog two days ago. That was the last day of the Lunar New Year, which I consider it was still an auspicious day to start my blog. That night when I started this blog, it was also the time when I was studying for the last examination throughout my Poly education! Actually, I didn’t enjoy memorising the notes and was just merely starring at my computer screen and somehow, I decided to start a blog.

Anyways, yesterday was the exam for Marketing. I have no idea how I had done in the paper but since this is going to be the last paper of all, I hope I will get a reasonable grade for it at least.

The three years were really fast. I could still recall the first lesson I had in the school and then yesterday was already the last exam I took. Yesterday was also the last official school day, the last day my Creative web cam pivot could turn (I broke it while it was in my bag), the last day I entered a tutorial room in the school and probably the last time I revised for my exam in the library. But yesterday was also the first day of freedom (not really freed until I finished all the backlog) and the first day I don’t have to think of attending school for at least the next few months until NS enlistment.

Still, I have enjoyed the days. I am thinking of posting some of the things I had gone through in the blog even though I only started like two days ago. I thought those might be good for memorial purposes. But I will still see if I have the time to do so.

I am just going to start a blog before the lucky New Year is over. It is the last day of the Lunar New Year so I think I should quickly set it up now before the festive is over in the next 36mins.
