make.believe :: app & video

2010-11-10T09:43:00Z

made a couple apps to cure my ADD while working.
you can download them free if you really want to.

Here’s a video of my macbook air (2010, nicknamed Æther) starting up.

full tutorial and download links after the jump

i’m so obsessed with this video and song. i love genki rockets. i made 2 apps to help me get through the work day. the first one is called make.believe, it installs the Genki Rockets - make.believe video as an osx screensaver. the second app is called MakeBelieveController, use this to control the video.

Here’s a video of my macbook air (2010, nicknamed Æther) starting up and demonstrates how to use the MakeBelieveController app.

if you want to see it work on your OSX desktop, read on…

Download the make.believe app, launch and install it as your screensaver.
(close System Preferences after choosing the screensaver, if it’s open.)

you should probably set your screensaver to run, never, i haven’t tested what happens if your screensaver starts

Download the MakeBelieveController.air app
*or*
Download the MakeBelieveController.dmg osx dmg installer app

next (optional) recommended
Download and install the WallSaver.app (download link)
under preferences, i unchecked all options
click on the “Activate” button to set the make.believe screensaver as your desktop

if you don’t want to do that, you can open up terminal instead, and run this command:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background

which will do the same thing, sets your desktop as the make.believe screensaver

finally, you can launch the MakeBelieveController.air or MakeBelieveController.app to control the make.believe video running on your desktop.

you are fully armed to battle your attention deficiency disorder, and work in f*cking space!!!

Full video of Genki Rockets - make.believe on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOIqkxthHwE

if you want to restore your original wallpaper, if you launched it through console, just press control + c, to quit it, or if you used WallSaver.app then click the “Restore” button.

bugs: none really, if the screensaver isn’t listening to the app, just make sure that the MakeBelieveController app is running, then quit/restore make.believe desktop, then restart it. it should start listening again.

Howto: Install RMagick and ImageMagick on OSX Snow Leopard without MacPorts

2010-11-04T09:23:00Z

Do you have a rails dev environment on an OSX Snow Leopard box?
Does your rails app require the rmagick gem and you don’t have, or want to install MacPorts?

2 step tutorial on how to install ImageMagick and rmagick gem, after the jump.

Do you have a rails dev environment on an OSX Snow Leopard box?
Does your rails app require the rmagick gem and you don’t have, or want to install MacPorts?

MacPorts is cool, great package manager. I have a macbook air (which rawks by the way), and i want to see how far i can go without installing MacPorts… just for kicks, like how i use MAMP for mysql gem … the kicks.

Step 1 » Clone my Fork!

I made a fork of a great ImageMagick installer script because the original has the wrong url for some source files.

You will probably be prompted to enter in root’s password a few times during installation, so just enter it when it asks for Password:

If you have git:

cd /tmp
git clone git@github.com:theRemix/ImageMagick-sl.git
cd ImageMagick-sl
sh install_im.sh

If you don’t have git:

cd /tmp
curl http://download.github.com/theRemix-ImageMagick-sl-a585bda.tar.gz -o ImageMagick-sl.tar.gz
tar -xvjf ImageMagick-sl.tar.gz
cd theRemix-ImageMagick-sl-a585bda
sh install_im.sh

Alternatively, go get git !

Step 2 » Install RMagick

installing rmagick gem should be successful now

gem install rmagick

that’s it!

enjoy

Custom Terminal Bash Prompt

2010-11-03T09:11:00Z

Get your terminal’s prompt to look like this!

bash profile after the jump

plus! see pictures of my new macbook air » Æther

There are many articles and tutorials out there that show you how to customize your bash prompt. Lots of tutorials here

I’m going to share how mine looks, it has colors and 3 cool features.

Awesome #1

Clearly labeled current directory $PWD

this awesome is included in most vanilla bash profiles, i just like how this mine is highlighted

Awesome #2

Timestamped Terminal

see timestamp on right end of bash prompt

Awesome #3

Bad Command Indicator

this custom prompt uses the exit code status of the last command to indicate if the last command exited nicely or failed.
see happy face / sad face

Here’s the .bash_profile

create or edit your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile and add this to the end of the file

problem embedding snipt, see on snipt.net for syntax highlighting

CSSEdit and Ruby on Rails

2010-09-17T20:59:00Z

Do you love CSSEdit? and sometimes develop on rails?

Does your stylesheet overrides end up looking like this over time?


/* @override 
    http://localhost:3000/stylesheets/styles.css
    http://localhost:3000/stylesheets/styles.css?1277287294
    http://localhost:3001/stylesheets/styles.css
    http://localhost:3001/stylesheets/styles.css?1282948054
    http://localhost:3001/stylesheets/styles.css?1284593647
    http://localhost:3001/stylesheets/styles.css?1284666492
    http://localhost:3001/stylesheets/styles.css?1284684222

this is because of the cache-buster feature AssetTagHelper in RAILS_ENV=”development” . rails automatically appends numbers to all assets (stylesheets, javascripts, images, etc.) so that the browser has to reload it every time and not depend on cache. this is great, except for CSSEdit users. this makes overriding a page become a headache, you’d have to override it every page reload.

the fix

to stop this, you could do the html way

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/styles.css" type="text/css">

then rails wouldn’t touch it, and you can override it just once.

OR

you can force the asset id value to any single value (which stops the cache-buster) like this:

ENV["RAILS_ASSET_ID"] = "1337"

add this to the end of your */app/config/environments/development.rb”

then your styles.css will only need one override

/* @override 
    http://localhost:3000/stylesheets/styles.css?1337
*/

don’t forget to restart your dev server after updating /app/config/environments/development.rb

SWFProfiler haXe'd

2010-01-13T20:54:00Z

I ported over a very good SWFProfiler that a fellow actionscripter wrote over a year ago.
It’s very useful especially to haXe‘rs when all we have to play with is the flash debug player, and for flash game devs to make sure our framerates stay up, and our memory is managed correctly.

I added my own flavor to this already awesome SWFProfiler.

made the line graph move from right to left instead of left to right.
added additional colors to the line graph to show dips and spikes in technicolor 3d imax hd blu-ray
added an optional object inspector that traces out objects and properties
added a garbage collector to force gc()

See the demo and download the source.

I added my own flavor to this already awesome SWFProfiler.

made the line graph move from right to left instead of left to right.
added additional colors to the line graph to show dips and spikes in technicolor 3d imax hd blu-ray
added an optional object inspector that traces out objects and properties
added a garbage collector to force gc()


Usage: SWFProfiler.init( ?inspector_object_starting_point:Dynamic );  
Right-Click / Command-Click on the stage after SWFProfiler has been initialized.  
Choose "Show Profiler" to open the SWFProfiler  
Choose "Garbage Collector" to force gc().  
if SWFProfiler is visible, choose "Hide Profiler" to remove it from stage.  

Initialize without optional parameter: SWFProfiler.init();  
Will disable the Inspector function.  

To Enable the Inspector function, pass an object as the starting point to trace from.  
SWFProfiler.init(this);  

in the inspector textinput, use standard dot notation starting from the object passed  
 "field" or "object.field" or "object.object.field"  

the value of the field will display in the inspector value box (right half) if it exists  
the text in the inspector textinput will turn red if the field/object does not exist

Demo

Click on the swf below to start/stop music.
Right-Click / Command-Click on the embedded swf to open the ContextMenu
Choose “Show Profiler” to open the SWFProfiler
Now i know you are rawkin’ your mom’s dual-core iMac, so you’re probably only seeing really high fps and my leet memory management ninjutsu makes the mem-history line plateau, so to get things moving around in this demo, you can grab your browser, and shake it like a polaroid picture for 5 seconds, you should see the fps line dip at least into yellow zone.
Here comes another fun part, i enabled the Inspector by passing my main class as the starting point to trace from. So with the SWFProfiler open, you should see “Inspector: stage.frameRate” to the right of that you will see the current value for that property. my main class has an object defined called stage. and Stage has a property called frameRate.
You can erase “stage.frameRate” and write whatever you want to inspect. here are some values to test out. just type away, and you’ll see the output as if you actually wrote “trace(object.property);”

Objects

root
stage
scene
camera

some Main class properties

curFrame
ball1
ball1_orbit_speed ( press right or left key to change )
ball1_orbit_magnitude
ball1_orbit_pulsate
ball1_rotate_speed ( press up or down key to change )

some other fun properties to play with

sound.id3.album
sound.id3.artist
sound.id3.songName (press 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 to change song)
sound.id3.year
transform.volume

Play Thanksgiving Kitchen Hero

2009-11-27T11:38:00Z

Oh yes, another Thanksgiving game for the 09

This is the most fun and most original, and not a clone, and it’s very hard… like some turkeys. click to enjoy pumpkinstyle!

i love making games in a day… this game took longer than last years, we hope you like.

Happy Thanksgiving 2009

and illustrated entirely by pnpnt

here is last year’s Thanksgiving game in a day: Turkey haXe - Thanksgiving 08

synopsis
Thanksgiving Food Fight!
Fast paced food battle of skill and reflexes.
Throw pumpkins at turkeys to knock it to your opponents side of the kitchen. Your opponent throws pies at turkeys, don’t let the turkeys get past your side of the kitchen!
Guaranteed to not be a clone of any game ever made.

instructions
Click anywhere to send your pumpkins flying across the kitchen in that direction. Your ammo is displayed on the bottom right corner. If any pies or pumpkins go between the kitchen counter tops on the bottom of the screen, or explode on your half of the kitchen, you get another pumpkin for ammo.
You win by getting 2 (out of 3) turkeys across the kitchen and between the counter tops on the top side of the screen.
If you win, Play Again to play against a tougher opponent. The enemies quickly get smarter and faster as you progress through the levels.

theRemix invents gravity in haXe (with full source)

2009-10-10T03:29:00Z

I created an experiment to visualize and play with the law of gravity.
The concept of gravity is new, i just created it, attraction occurs between any two masses in space.
I came up with the formula for gravity:
Mass1 × Mass2
Distance²

neat huh?

check out the full haXe source code and play with gravity to create orbits in the full article

ok maybe it’s not that new, and maybe i didn’t invent gravity, though usually where you see it in flash, you’ll see the force only applied in the downwards direction. Many thanks to Chris Sass for helping make sure i don’t waste >1 hour on figuring out acceleration and stuff.

Play

drag an object (they actually represent cookies) around with your mouse, clicking them makes them dark and stationary… like stale cookies, no one wants that. pressing any key will reset the objects to random positions.
see if you can create a stable orbit.
hint, gravity is stronger when the objects are closer, have one object moving towards the other, then move it out of the way before impact

commaFormat(num:Float):String; code snippet

2009-08-23T12:57:00Z

added another code snippet to http://haxe.org/doc/snip/commaFormat

that commafies a number such as really high scores

converts 123456 to “123,456” and 1234567890.12345 to “1,234,567,890.12345”

Felt like making a #songsInCode in haXe

and just for fun actually writing the code and compiling it to see how it might look.

ringAround(rosies);
for(girl in girls){
    girl.pocket.fill(new Posies());
}
ashes+=2;
for(girl in girls){
    girl.fall(DOWN);
}
