I'm doing a post-mortem on my blog about the 25 games I made for Pirate Kart V, reflecting on them and such, in three installments. Published the first one just barely, covering 9 games from Wizard Forest to Koi Puncher: Championship Edition. If you're interested!

Spindley, Just asking,what was your inspiration for this site in the first place anyways?

So I was screwing with this title generator to think of game titles: http://www.fictionalley.org/primer/title.html
And I typed in a bunch of random crap and got these titles:

Title One: Deadly Fighters The Evil Kitchens
Title Two: The Evil Arse
Title Three: The Pizza The Deadly Fighters
Title Four: Deadly Arse
Title Five: The Fighting Pizza
Title Six: Fighting Kitchens
Title Seven: Fighting Fighters
Title Eight: Evil Fighting
Title Nine: Fighting for Kitchens
Title Ten: Fighting and Fighting

Any ideas which I should use for a game?

Man,Idk.

Now that I made JUSTICE MUSTACHE,I feel like I'm gonna turn it into the Mozart of my games.
Who here wants to see JUSTICE MUSTACHE 2:JUSTICE HARDER?

I really do.

I made this game with Flixel in two hours. You attempt to like, eat fish and people so the people don't, and Jesus is trying to feed the people with Fish, but you're stalin and the aliens are goign to destroy the erath if You don't eat the fish, so yes.

Wow.

Just a game about Edgar. What are you looking at?

Dear Diary,

I hesitate to tell you that today I needlessly used up a couple sheets of paper trying to derive a general transformation from (x,y) coordinates to rotational coordinates. It sure made for an odd feeling. I'm in my 30s -- long out of school -- and couldn't remember the word for 'trigonometry.' I assume stubbornness kept me from trying to look it up. Or maybe I thought this would be a fun way to spend an early Saturday morning?

I did, however, remember that A squared plus B squared equals C squared, though Mr. P's theorem turned out to be a red herring (half a page worth of scribbles down the drain! You should be happy you're not made of paper, dear Diary, else I might have been tempted to scribble those notes in you).

What did the trick was punching in test cases into a calculator until I remembered how sine, cosine, tangent, and their variants work (ArcTangent I don't remember ever learning about, but it's brilliant!), and drawing up test cases until I realized what I was actually trying to do was to rotate the coordinate system through a certain angle (which would change over time based on position and velocity).

It turns out it works like this (for future reference, or in case you're interested, my bestest bookish friend):

Rotational Speed component = Sin(Angle-of-Motion - Position's-Angle-from-origin) * Speed-of-motion
Centripetal Speed component = Cos(Angle-of-Motion - Position's-Angle-from-origin) * Speed-of-motion

And that Angle-of-Motion is the ArcTan(vertical-speed-component/horizontal-speed-component)
And that Angle-from-origin is the ArcTan(vertical-position/horizontal-position)

Diary, am I proud of these accomplishments? Yes, of course. I only tell you this so you will love me more.

Yours, as always,
nobody.

p.s. - Why no superscript and subscript tags? This entry could have been so much spiffier.

This is my first Game programing.
Im just learning how to create games in java.

Dear Diary,

I'm no spambot, but I'll likely be shy for a bit.

Yours,
nobody.

p.s. - You are my best friend.
