DarkCampainger's parent's basement.

Now that the 'schoolwork shuffle' is over, I'm hoping to come into a decent amount of free time. Unfortunately, I'll be quickly filling that time with a job and summer classes, but I should still have a good amount left for game and web dev. Right now, my plans include the following:

• zombiecannon site development
• Grandpa's art site development
• Boss's business website development
• Running some BYOND Action Events
• Working on a super-secret RPG that I refuse to elaborate upon further

So yea, a lot of website development on my plate. I already got a head start on zombiecannon and made a little update a few minutes ago:
www.zombiecannon.com

Tomorrow morning I'll probably put in some work on my Boss's site, and then do some work for my Grandpa over the weekend. What free time I have after that, if not spent playing TF2 or CS:S, I'll put into the RPG. Busy busy busy. I also wanted to learn Python, C#, and PHP sometime over this summer...

None of these really deserves a post all on its own, so I'll group them.

First off, I had to pay taxes this year. Uncle Sam took 48 of my beloved dollars from me. I guess it is somewhat of a milestone to make enough to pay taxes, but I think I would rather have my $48. Also, apparently I don't get any of that economic booster money, which is ironic. Really, all the adults are going to use it to pay off debt and save it, whereas kids would spend it without a second thought.

Second, we started reading Fahrenheit 451 in Scifi today. Know what I noticed? Guy Montag is the name of the Firebat hero from Starcraft. I had always wondered where they got that name from, and now I know.


Also, for those of you who read my last post, I'm completely redoing the gameplay for Zombie Teaches Typing. Hopefully you'll enjoy the game even more after the changes :)

Nothing like the pressure of imminent demise to raise your WPM! I've been wanting to make a game like Mario Teaches Typing in Flash for a while, and I finally came up with something crazy enough to try. I made this as a Signature game for another forum (hence the Grey background).

Zombie Teaches Typing

Instructions:
As the letters scroll across your screen, type them on you keyboard. Each correct key will help your character aim at a zombie's head. Several correct keys in a row and he scores a head shot. If you hit the wrong key, you fire early and may or may not kill it. If the letters reach the end of the screen, your guy panics and shoots off a round, resetting the letters. You have seven shots in your Desert Eagle's magazine. When you run out of bullets, a blue word will appear in the center of the screen. Type the word to reload. If the zombies make it to you, you lose.

Zombie Teaches Typing

This is version 1.0. In future versions I'm hoping to add difficulty levels (for you fast typers!), bonus things (grenades anyone?), different types of monsters, and a high score table.

Comments and Criticism?

Second day of spring, first day of Springbreak, full white-out snow storm in progress.

Yes, I love you too, weather.

Hurrah! Now I have the extra time I needed.

First thing on my list: fixing/upgrading the Linux Guild layout

Second, Sleep. Then maybe some Battlefield.
