Stopwatch for Cubers ver 2.0

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

What do you know? I did get around to updating my timer. Introducing Cube Clock 2.0 for Rubik’s Cubers (and other cubes) with fancy new graphics, sounds, and a settings screen. See Stopwatch for Cubers for the original version.

The Flash plugin is required to view this object.

If you want to study your cube before the time starts, click the SETUP button to specify how many seconds you would like to study. The default is 0 which means the time starts as soon as you release the space bar (or click the START button). You can also toggle sounds on or off.

Let me know if you would like to see any features in the next version. And, of course, post your times in the comments.

Fun with Flash: Gravity

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

A while ago, I built a Flash animation for one of our clients that showed particles floating around while an attractor sucked them up. It was so much fun building and testing it that I started building a game out of it. I took the magnetic algorithm I was using in the animation and put it in the game, but I replaced the particles with a single missile and used multiple attractors. I turned it into planets in space with an orbiting rocket. It’s entertaining to see how long your rocket will orbit the planets before crashing into one.

Go ahead and try it out. (more…)

My computer is gooey…

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

gooYes, coding is fun.  Super-duper fun even.  But every once in a while we need to turn our brains (mostly) off and recharge.  One of our favorite ways to do that is gaming. Today I’ll share with you one of our favorite games, World of Goo.

This game is made by an independent gaming company called 2D Boy, which is a team of two dudes coding from scratch. It’s super fun, and pretty challenging too. It’s a puzzle game where you can connect little balls of goo together to build connecting supports to move other goo balls around get them to get sucked into tubes. It’s super fun.

Also, this game is DRM free, and runs on Mac, Windows, Linux and the Wii. That’s pretty sweet. As a Linux user, I’m sick of games not coming to my platform. Go buy this game. It’s $20, runs on anything recent and is fun. Great music too.
