Awesome post overall but I would argue two points with you.

- We had a less formal time schedule but we had more of a written up design doc than any other year. Id say it balanced out.
- “Use an engine” for me equates to challenge your partner’s ideas. XP I shoulda called you on that one early when I was scratching my head about the benefit we got.

Prototyping and storyboarding are key steps we definitely skimped on this year. A mistake not soon made again I hope.

I definitely like the challenge of going abstract especially coupled with the dig against Miguel, meheh. “IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!” is all I have to say to that man and his sans programmer hijinx.

If the Stinkoman 20X6 game from Homestar Runner has taught me anything, it’s that you need an obligatory ice level and air level and lava level. Come to think of it, that all also fits in well with Super Metroid. I was also a fan of the whole “need to upgrade your suit to survive the heat” thing. Made you feel powerful and progressing to be able to do and survive something you previously could not. Also I always think of Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past when I think of enemies that come to life after you do a specific thing, like open a chest or something.

Glad to see another follower of Gabe’s D&D adventures.

Can’t wait to see some of the combat system.

reminds me of my favourite haiku

A man, just one -
also a fly, just one -
in the huge drawing room.

the best advice anyone ever gave me about TDD is that it is a ‘design’ process, and not a ‘testing’ process. in fact, the ‘T’ in TDD has faced intense regret since its inception and popularization by K. Beck

Comment on Embedding fonts for Actionscript Projects using only mxmlc by Lupo

Thanks for putting me on the track of embeded font.
However by using mxmlc there’s a far much simpler way to do this :

[Embed(mimeType="application/x-font", source="terminator_real_nfi.ttf",fontName="Terminator")] private var terminatorFontClass:Class;

and voilà. the font is properly recognized, loaded and available.

var __text_tf:TextField = new TextField(),__format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
__format.font=”Terminator”;
__format.size=12;
__text_tf.embedFonts = true;
__text_tf.defaultTextFormat = __format;
__text_tf.autoSize=”left”;
__text_tf.text = “Hello world”;
addChild(__text_tf);

Thank you so much for posting this.

It has been driving me insane.

It’s like the Office Space movie – “PC LOAD LETTER”

Thanks!
