Been busy with something I like

My first 2D art, and probably the last. XD

'Coz I'm busy doing stuffs, I miss doing these things:


One of my favorites




I also do 2D things. But I'm not really an artist.  I've always got a poor choice in combining colors. So I prefer doing thing in black and white. Old school but effective. = )

Here's a sample of that old school black and white thing. Stickman Da'Chase =)

Everything started with the simple run cycle made by Preston Blair. If ever you haven't heard of him, check the link. He's noted for his works at Walt Disney Productions and MGM animation department.

Here's the site where I got my reference image. Check it if you're interested. Here's my what I made out of this.

This is what I usually use.
I've also created a simple game in Flash, nothing really special. My classmates did things better than that.


A well, I'm trying to upload the thing but my connection won't let me do it. My connection sucks. Maybe some other time.



That's all in the past. Can't go back there now.


So recently, I've been busy, or you can say that I've been pretending to be busy, on different things. Well, first of all, I've started teaching myself about Android programming. It's really amazing. There are lot of resources found over the net. And most of the veterans, share their knowledge to rookies like us.


However, I wanna focus more on Android's game development. I've already read some articles about it, downloaded some tutorials, and also, read Mario Zechner's book Beginning Android Games. It's got lots of stuffs in it. I've read most of the important parts of it. And now, I've been doing a lot. Practicing this and that.

And now, I suppose I'm ready to give it a shot. Just a simple game. No computations required. No tough algorithms required. Imagination and creativity should be enough. Well, that's my plan. Haha. Hopefully, I'd be able to realize this plan in a month or two. Well, as I've said, I'm still pretending to be pretty busy. Haha. XD


Hello Blogspot XD


Well, for my first post, as a Computer Science student, I'll go with the usual "Hello World", but I'd prefer to say "Hello Blogspot".

I don't have much to say. I don't usually share my thoughts and views. I'm not that bad in English, but I'm pretty dumb at these things. I'm a no good speaker. I just can't express myself in a right way.

So, if ever you're a reading this, and at the same time, you're a grammar nazi, well please go easy on me. I don't mind being corrected, but please, be nice. Haha. Thanks!
