Satori


(Better examples of the new features can be found here)

Added Satori Komeiji to create.swf. Thefre has also added the option to insert external images as objects. This can be found by going to the main menu, insert, image, and entering the URL of the image. The imported image can then be resized, rotated, or filtered (blur, grayscale, etc). With this, it’s possible to make your own backgrounds and objects and stuff, and then just insert them into create.swf. In fact, the image above was made in create.swf without any modifications besides cropping the image in paint. Here’s Thefre’s changelog for this week:

=New Features
-MS UI Gothic font is available for Japanese text.
-New Filter option available for snapshots. Accessible from target menu.
-Text colorization is now available.
-Importing external images is now possible from the insert menu.

=Fixes
-Death by Yuyuko’s suction trajectory is now more direct.

Due to flash’s security settings, it is impossible for the online version of the create.swf to import external images from domains other than walfas.org. When importing images from walfas, it is important that the url begins with http://www.walfas.org exactly. If you wish to import images from other locations, then you must download the create.swf and run it locally.

The last part basically means that you have to download the swf if you want to import images from other sites (right-click, save as, and open the file from your computer with a web browser or flash program). However, once you have the swf file on your computer, you can import images from any site, including local directories (directly from your computer) by typing in a valid directory path (ex: “C:folderanother_folderimage.png”). Have fun!

(Nicovideo / Original ED)

I’m guessing this is a parody of the ED of Seto no Hanayome, another anime I have never seen. Yeah. That’s basically it.

Late Dismissals

It probably will be pretty dark outside when we get dismissed from school in the winter, especially on Fridays when it takes an hour to get to my house; it’ll be 5pm by the time I get home. Anyhow, today was a shorter day than usual, because on Thursdays I don’t have a double period of calculus, so it’s 43 minutes shorter.

In other news, this is the 500th blog post. Wow, 500 blogs posts already! I’d probably make a bigger deal out of this if the one-year anniversary wasn’t just awhile ago. But it was.

Breakfast

First period is “breakfast” for me, and when I first got the schedule yesterday, it was like “why is breakfast on this class schedule?” I found out that it just means you don’t have to be in school for that period. But it would be interesting to have an actual breakfast class. Just like how I joke about having a lunch class because “lunch” is on the schedule and has an assigned room as well (the cafeteria, although we don’t have to stay in there). Yeah. Anyway, today didn’t seem as long of a day as yesterday, probably because I got to go in at around 9am instead of 8:13 like yesterday. Some of the people in my grade have gym at zero period (starts at like 7:30 or something), and I felt lucky that I didn’t have gym in my schedule. But unfortunately, when the second semester starts, apparently we’ll be having gym and they don’t.

First day of school

Today was a bad first day. Well, not so much of a bad first day as it is a bad rest-of-the-year. The biggest change is the addition of 10th period classes (we used to have only 8 periods a day, with the occasional 9th). Normal school dismissal time was at around 2:15, but now with all these classes and 10th period, my school day ends at almost 4pm. I guess the only good news about that is that I get to start school at around 9am (an hour later than previous years). Lunch got pushed forward to 10:30am, which is weird because who eats lunch at 10:30 in the morning anyway? In any case, since school ends at around 4, that’d be five and a half hours without eating stuff, so most people are probably going to get hungry again. Now that I think about it, there’s too much stuff for me to complain about, and I don’t really feel like doing that now, so I guess I’ll just leave it at that for the moment.

Anyway, the drawings and handwriting in the flash might look a bit different because I’m on my laptop now, and I’m using a smaller wireless mouse, so it feels different.
