Illogic Tree

I don’t really play Rock Band, but as a big fan of The Beatles, I really enjoyed this psychedelic video.

For those claim to be fans of Katamari Damancy ain’t got nuttin on this girl. What she did is she cleverly h4ck3d a Playstation 2 controller, ganked some parts from an optical mouse and fitted a metallic ball and other gizmos and gadgets on to it. The controls mimic the Prince’s katamari by being able to relay the rolling mechanics into the game. And the result is purely awesome. (Source)

Above is a demo of some pathfinding that I’ve implemented a few weeks earlier. Basically what you see in this video is this creepy old dude chasing Zack, the protagonist of Psychedelic Farmer.

I used the A* algorithm to find the “best” path to a given location. My expeirience with A* is that it is quite efficient if you are smart about it. And if you are trying to implement A* into your game, I recommend reading these articles:

So I accidently wandered into a comic store this afternoon and subsequently found out that today was free comic day. I was given a bunch of free schwag like action figures and comics.

One of the objects I received was this detective which I thought would play an awesome role inside my mini moss garden. So I put it there, because I can, therefore I am.
