Code Journal Update

Posted by Jason On September - 28 - 2010

Hey sorry for no updates, been busy!  I will update with my 2010 trip to Tokyo Game show! but first!

Today at work, we came across a Sony API callback that returns a 64 bit Integer, and we needed to get the Low and Hi bits of it into two 32 Bit Integers.

So we used this:

inline unsigned long HILONG(__int64 value)
{
return (unsigned long)(value >> 32);
}
inline unsigned long LOLONG(__int64 value)
{
return (unsigned long)(value & 0xffffffff);
}

Dino Space Shooter in Flash

Posted by Jason On October - 29 - 2009

I’ve taken the time to learn some ActionScript 3 for Flash, and converted my Dino Space Shooter 2D game from DirectX and C++ to Flash ActionScript 3.
The full Flash Project/Script File Source can be downloaded HERE
Controls: Move ship with Mouse, Fire with Left Mouse Button

However this version is missing alot of the bells and whistles of the DirectX/C++ Version of the game (sound,animations,etc.) Its more of a demo of what the game is like.
I am also in the near future planning on adding additions to the Dino Space Shooter game I made. (Full source/release available at: http://www.j1n.org/?p=147 )
The Dinosaurs vs Zombies game that I am working on ( http://www.j1n.org/?p=219 ) is also coming along quite well!

New game I’m working on

Dinosaurs vs Fn Zombies

Dinosaurs vs F'n Zombies

Dinosaurs vs F’n Zombies!

I plan on making it a side scrolling shooter, 4 players on screen at once, with some tower defense mixed in.
I am going to try it in XNA,PC and build it in C# to get myself refreshed on C#.
