Making Tetris. First, a screensaver demo. http://mn.jgate.de/games...
working on all of the mechanics now. still very buggy, but starting to come together. - Vezquex
abandoned mathematical rotation. It works, but the axis was often wrong, so the rotated coordinates are now hard coded. - Vezquex

http://mn.jgate.de/icons Re-created a few vector logos in SVG: simple, black and white. Started with a text editor, then moved to Inkscape. I'm considering switching to a JSON format that easily converts to SVG or canvas.
In Inkscape you can import an image and trace over it. Pretty handy. - Vezquex
but, Inkscape does the "scalable" part wrong, so I had to add a viewBox property so that the images actually scale to their container. - Vezquex
also, browsers do not treat SVGs as regular images, so you have to treat them as a foreign object, as with Flash. Objects cannot be links, so I had to overlay a transparent link over the object. - Vezquex
worst of all, Webkit (Safari, Chrome) has a ridiculous 2-year-old bug that SVGs aren't transparent. Come on, seriously. - Vezquex

Cube sandbox game. I like the direction and might want to do something similar. http://www.minecraft.net/
yeah, that does look a lot nicer. - Vezquex

Suppose a freeware game that charges for graphical skins. So by default it's just outlines like Asteroids.

I'm thinking of putting together a dating site. I have an unusual, possibly unique twist. What would be the best way to minimize fake profiles?
bayesian (email) filters - Vezquex
"Report Spam" button. Profiles with > x reports are banned. IPs with > y reports are banned. - Vezquex
Use Facebook to sign in. - Vezquex
Make the Dating site a giant interactive updating Dating Sim. - Devin

Good point. I was just thinking about using it. There are several languages available at the moment. Hopefully they'll move to more flexible system at some point. - Vezquex

Perfect music for the credits of my next game.
Only if the credits pop up at a seemliness random part of the game. - Devin

I'm going to try to get object editor saving rigged this week and hopefully work on the interface and workflow. If you can't wait to make objects, just type in JSON syntax (it's faster anyway). The point is to have data in a simple format so that programs know how to display and process it.
There are only two data structures: lists and maps. (In JavaScript, these are called arrays and objects.) A map just a collection of labeled pieces of data. - Vezquex
Make a profile page, game resource, list of URLs, or anything else you want. - Vezquex

Paint.NET is not good enough for me. No rotation, no dynamic effects. I will try The Gimp or fall back on Photoshop (old versions are fine). I'm also trying to learn Inkscape again for vector graphics.
PS CS4 Tenshi and Nik used. (If Tenshi can run it, so can you) Go find the torrent. - Devin

Whats changed since they took over? It already had Facebook support. What will change vez? - Devin
Friendfeed will be phased out eventually, after its features have been integrated into Facebook. - Vezquex

OK, I'm cooking with Python, pyglet, Notepad++, msysgit, and GitHub. http://github.com/vezquex...
HelloWorld.png
cocos2d could also be used http://cocos2d.org/ - Vezquex
pyglet video for lazy people http://blip.tv/file/2403623 - Vezquex
Nice tutorial. Out of date, though. http://www.learningpython.com/2007... - Vezquex

I'm looking into SDL, pygame, pyglet choices here.
people seem to prefer pyglet. it's more geared toward 3d. - Vezquex
3d games are an easy thing to look lame sometimes though. Especially indie games. - Devin

simple - Project Hosting on Google Code - http://code.google.com/p...
Got me interested google. Touche. I have yet to read all of this. But I think google made me a programing language. Based off of BASIC I guess. Looking into it. I would like to learn this. Or Python or something simple. Lots of people have said Python reals good. I don;t know. What you guys think? - Devin from Bookmarklet
BASIC is not highly regarded. Python is a much better choice. - Vezquex
Thats what I thought. Basics too old school - Devin

Rough project ideas. http://etherpad.com/lem-dos
Added my thoughts in a "NOTES" section. Will hope to work closely with Vez on this or other(s) projects. This time I mean it. - Devin

I have http://ludiexmachina.com/ running on the Joyent Smart Platform (http://smart.joyent.com/) now. Let me know if you require access to the Git repo.
