I don’t remember why, but last night I stumbled onto this Wikipedia article about Voxels and decided to try my hand at making an engine in Flash. Voxels apparently draw fast without 3d acceleration, which is great for Flash since it doesn’t have access to any 3d hardware the computer might have. It still doesn’t [...]
I’ve just added music to Kingdom of Machines! Plus there’s a bit of bug fixing and tweaking, but nothing major.
Go play it!
The music was made by my own two hands (plus GarageBand and it’s loops — I can’t actually make music for real) and it’s released under a Creative Commons Attribution license. If you want [...]

It’s a really simple specialised tool for creating 8-bit style sound effects that even I, who knows nothing of pitches and tones can use to make cool things. You can use the selection of sliders to change the attack, [...]
This time less cartoon, but more dinosaur patch. So the awesomeness rating evens out.
Not meant to be the Captain of Tintin fame, though he may look like him. The Captain of Tintin fame has happy use of both his eyes!
Today is a continuation on from the last tutorial. This one will look at a few more tools that are used in modeling your Farmer Joe. The series index is here.
