RE: [poinc] platfinity , the €1.5 platform game level designer tool
i wouldnt call myself a programmer, but i dont like titles or -isms at all ... i had a commodore 64 when i was 8, my old man bought it and he didnt understand anything about it so thats when i wrote my hello world from the manual ... i never wanted to take a job in IT working for someone else because that would drain all the fun out of it, and for some reason i have not succeeded getting my own business up here in hellgium (its not just like the americas or china ... not at all) so its a hobby more like ... but platfinity doesn't require coding its just leveldesign and graphics and sound really, more like playing lego
i had some things going on
but those are mostly tools ..GG and rpg maker use respectively Lua and ruby so you can adjust as much as you want by adding code to objects or run global scripts but the others are just pick & place
the last one was just a test to see if i could do an animation that runs in real time while syncing audio slices to it (120bpm) but the framerate of GG is too variable so it doesnt really "fit to the beat" lol
up until december when i got a bad head park (pun intended) ... so since i dont have an ssd to replace my brain with ive been quite void since then ... havent found my brain back ...
its not a depression, its just a void :)
here with platfinity i was just trying something, since im not really a graphic designer and the tiles are all square x by x size i thought why not use canvas or html to render them (what with the gradients and all) and turns out thats pretty easy to do, reusable and you can adjust the levels where the colours melt into eachother, i guess if i had any kind of drive i could cook up some php and javascript to add some sliders and boxes so i can put a webpage up where you can fiddle around without having to code ...
but that would be for after summer i think i'll be braindead until august ... (auto-preservation mechanism)

no apologies required ... as you can see i'm lagging behind a bit myself, i havent even checked any peoples feeds in two weeks ... but i'm on it :)
no surrender, no retreat ... well, if you get a reputation for having consistently appealing content you will get a following sooner or later, nothing like word-of-mouth imo ... all that re-steem for steem is statistically not worth the price :)
only 16 days of replies to go and im back up to speed!
yeah, i've noticed that you were not very "present" lately @rudyardcatling
Im glad to know you're still well. just busy, right?:)
