Pixel art!


I haven’t actually made something in MS Paint for quite a while now. Since my internet connection went down for about two hours earlier today, I decided to make some pixel art in paint. Each character is in a 16×32 pixel area, and has 4 (or less) colors each. Then I decided to draw some more frames and animate it in GIMP! Hooray! Yeah. Anyway, I might update create.swf later today. If not, I’ll update it tomorrow.

Viruses

Viruses are not awesome. This computer (my uncle’s) really needs to get fixed… or replaced. It’s been reformatted about fifteen times already, and stuff keeps going wrong: it’s always either too slow or it has a virus that affects a third of the exe files on the computer. Well, the virus only affects programs that I don’t really use (or ones that can easily be reinstalled), so it’s not too bad.

Cards

Believe in the heart of the cards, and it will bring you victory!

Museum


Actually happened. Except it’s slightly exaggerated. Anyway, the museum trip was kinda interesting, but the fact that we had to answer questions on a worksheet kinda took away from the “fun” (if that’s what it’s called). It was kinda unorganized compared to other trips, though. We got to wander around the museum ourselves rather than having to follow some teachers around, which I guess made it better. During lunch, when I bought a 99-cent bag of chips with a dollar bill, and I actually got a penny back. It was the craziest thing ever.

After lunch, we all went to this planetarium thing (well I don’t actually know what it is… it’s like a dome thing) and watched some stuff. It was awesome, and I ended up saying “OH MY GOD” every few seconds because it looked like a huge meteor was about to crash into the room. I was gonna add that part into the flash, with an object actually crashing through the roof at the end, but the escalator part took way too long to make. The result was worth it, though. Especially the running animation.

The universe

I was thinking about this, but decided not to write it because nobody would really understand it. I ended up writing about rocks and collisions and stuff like that. I remember this one episode of Nova that I saw on PBS a few months ago about the creation of the universe, which was quite interesting. There were all these simulations and stuff like that, and it was awesome. Yeah.

Also, I’m going to be moving all the daily flashes to a new category called “Daily flash” rather than just having them in “life” and “flash”, because it’s kinda unorganized. I think I’ll make a separate category for Touhou stuff as well.
