Need help finding NG animator!!! Posted December 8th, 2009 in General

This animator made these two videos:

1.) A Metal Gear Solid parody where solid snake is tasting different parts of his female companion's body (Meryl?) and saying how disgusting they are.

2.) A Transformers parody. I don't remember this one very well, but I remember this one line from the video: "I couldn't help but notice the crumbs in the butter. And the buttery crumbs in the jam."

He MAY OR MAY NOT have made these (but they are of the same visual style):

3.) Did he make that one video about the guy calling Tom Fulp and leaving a message about sending a bomb in the mail? I remember that Tom Fulp ended up having sex with some girl who claimed that it "feels so good in my uterus."

4.) All I remember about this last video was that some guy was like "So, did you put it in her last night?" And I remember the girl had a name that started with an "R"? Rosetta, or Rebecca? Something like that.

Response to: Does it make me a bad programmer Posted August 27th, 2009 in Programming

I'm a terrible procrastinator but I consider myself a great programmer nonetheless. The difference is that if I "have" to program then it becomes a hassle and then I suddenly hate it.

A similar thing happened recently when I was sooo psyched about learning Ruby on Rails! But when I suddenly had to program a Rails app for someone, I didn't even want to look at the stuff. My ass was on the PS3 all the time.

Response to: Python Posted August 27th, 2009 in Programming

Ok, but what if your module is in another folder? That's the problem I usually have. Is there something special you have to do with the __init__.py files?

Python Posted August 26th, 2009 in Programming

Anybody here knowledgeable in Python? I've looked all over the internet (yes, I've googled it) and I still can't seem to understand imports in python.

These types of imports:

from folder.module import package

sometimes don't ever work for me, even though I've seen them work in other places.

Any ideas?

Halp?

Well, if you ever need any money, you can always sell websites for 30% commission. Check my signature.

But really, College Computer Science programs are absolutely useless for getting a CS-related job. If you really want to make it well in the Computer Science industry you need a kickass portfolio. Stuff like open source work really makes employers excited, even if you don't have a formal degree. Trust me man, I know from experience.

Response to: Websites with horrible Communities Posted August 26th, 2009 in General

I have to agree with the people that say Youtube has a bad community. However, youtube would not benefit from a strong community model in the first place. It has a transparent community, which is all that is necessary. It's not like Twitter, where everything is based on human interaction, nor does it need that kind of interaction.

I believe someone mentioned something about 4chan? 4chan is one of the strongest communities out there! Albeit, probably the craziest, but my goodness, for the sheer size and popularity of the community, it's one of the strongest in the world. I tried having a video conference on tinychat.com a while back and that community got together just to prank me with spam! That's one hell of a community. Besides, hasn't anyone seen the TIME Magazine poll? The community was so big they were able to make moot, the creator of 4chan, have the top stop on the list. They were also able to make the next 20 or so spots spell out "Marblecake, also the game" which is an inside joke on 4chan.

So who has the worst community? I don't know. Any community is a good one.

Response to: Future of Music - theory, discuss. Posted August 26th, 2009 in General

I think the best way to predict what the state of music will be in the next 10-30 years would be to look at what children listen to today. The future can be vaguely extracted from that. The music that is becomming very popular with the younger generation has many similarities to techno. It seems that the trend may be heading towards techno/trance.

This may be a hard thing to grasp, but realize that "rock" is a phase. Guitar-driven music, although long-lasting, is nothing but a phase of music. Hip-hop has already proven that, and although rock has remained a highly popular genre, it will eventually pass in the same way jazz and swing have passed. And so will hip-hop for that matter. Weird to think about, huh?

No... I was responding to this:

And on the second frame you manually put everything in your library that needs to be exported after first frame.

Obviously I can't "File > Import > Import to library" on frame 2.

AS3 preloading problems... arg Posted August 10th, 2008 in Game Development

When I simulate download for some reason my flash doesn't even play the first frame, first line of code. I put a trace there and guess what no trace. The movie will play my preloader after it has loaded 100 percent! Kinda useless... I read a couple of AS3 tutorials on how to create a preloader but nothing I saw helped me...

any solution?

Response to: Weird button behavior... mouseover Posted August 8th, 2008 in Game Development

Ok... I didn't want to do this but if you insist...

function startMove(xPos, Width) {
	// Switch it around a little bit.
	if (Math.floor(Math.random()*2) == 0) {
		ADestination = xPos;
		BDestination = xPos + Width;
	} else {
		BDestination = xPos - 1;
		ADestination = xPos + Width;

	isMovingA = true;
	isMovingB = true;
}

function MainClick(event:MouseEvent) {
	startMove(0, 36.4);
}

Main.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, MainClick);

Obviously, the code isn't really in this order. everything works fine except the mousover doesn't work.

And yes, the frame in my hit frame is the same as the up frame.


I'm almost done with my site!!! Just have one little problem...

I have a simple button symbol with some events attached. But the mouseover frame only blinks once and then dissapears! I dont have any code that edits the state of the buttons at all, except addeventlisteners. Anyone else have this problem? Offer a solution?

Hm, interesting! I had no idea you could do that. thanks for the help!

Variable Linkage in AS3 Posted August 8th, 2008 in Game Development

Suppose I have an object with attributes called

var myObject = new myClass();

And I pass it into a global function, like this:

myFunction(myObject);

If I change the attributes from within the function, will they change the outside ones? in other words:

function myFunction(theObject) {
    theObject.theAttribute = 12
}

Will this work the way I intended? Or will it just change a temporary variable that gets deleted at the end of the function execution?

I hope this makes sense...

That sounds very interesting actually... is that what allows Haskell to deal with infinite data structures? I might actually give this little paradigm a try. Point me to a good learner's reference for Haskell?

Do you have label/goto in Haskell?

Python... labels...? Posted August 6th, 2008 in Programming

http://entrian.com/goto/

This website outlines a module for Python that allows label/goto. I was going to use this functionality for part of my program until I read that it's actually an april fools joke! It says that the module actually works, but it shouldn't be used for any actual programming.

I realize that label/goto programming adds a lot of confusion to code but if used correctly it can really simplify some complicated nesting, which is what I wanted it for. Why would this be a JOKE?

Aha! Exactly what I thought. Well I'll try to fix this. Thank you for your help!


I've been having these random weird problems with AS3. So here's the question that might solve al my problems:

Let's suppose you have a movieclip (let's call "thing") on the stage, and inside of it is another movieclip (let's call "controller") that has some actionscript attached to it. Well, then you removeChild "thing". Does "controller" still exist? Does is still try to execute its deadly code even when I've removed "thing"?

This is the only scenario I can think of that would cause my problems. Unfortunately, my attempts of removing "controller" are futile! I mean... wtf?
