Added Youki Konpaku to create.swf, along with a bunch of summer-themed objects and items. Sparklers, beach blankets, umbrellas, sandcastles, outdoor grills, inner tubes, and a beach background! Also, a more traditional-looking master spark object by Thefre. Here’s the changelog:

=New Features
– Arrow Keys can now be used to position stuff on the stage.
– Shift Up/Down are shortcuts for Bring Forward/Send Backwards.
– Ctrl Up/Down are shortcuts for Bring to Front/Send to Back.
– Shift Left/Right are shortcuts for Rotate.
– Ctrl Left/Right are shortcuts for Scale.
– You can now toggle whether clicking the heads of characters rotates or drags them by default. Ctrl+drag will rotate characters if this is turned off.
– You can now set the X/Y speeds of rain drops, as well as their twirl speed.

=Fixes
– Changed the way power works in pong game, so that you should properly gain options at every 1.00 mark.
– Fixed rain scaling so that shift scaling will also only affect the drops rather than the entire thing.
– Snapshots are now actually named Snapshots to avoid confusion with terminology.
– Character options menu is now properly keylocked.

Also, this may be of interest to people who know foreign languages and would like to help translate the create.swf manual.

Touhou Sitcom Parodies (And art classes)

Found this earlier today and thought it was interesting. Here’s a Touhou parody of the opening themes of Full House and Friends, using the Touhou character models in GTA.

In other news, today was my last day volunteering at the computer center. Overall, I guess it was pretty fun. I got to help out a bunch of people with their computer-related issues, and when there was nothing to do, I could just browse the web. Anyway, this doesn’t mean I’ll have nothing to do until school starts, because I’ll be taking an two-week (or at least I think it’s two weeks) animation class starting Monday.

I don’t remember if I’ve explained it here before, but basically, one of the things I painted in art class was chosen as one of the winners of some art contest. The winning pieces were displayed in some office building somewhere. It’s a weird place to put artwork, but apparently it’s so the workers can appreciate the artwork made by New York City school kids. Anyway, as a prize, I was given the choice of a $125 gift certificate to an art supplies store or an art class to take over the summer. I decided to go with the art class, and saw that one of the classes was an animation class, and I was like “Oh hey look at that, it’s animation” and yeah. Interestingly, the art class would’ve cost almost $1000 if paid normally, so I guess I chose the better option (I don’t really need art supplies anyway, since most of the artwork I do is on the computer).
