  1. Amateur Game Making Night

    Record yourself humming/lalaing what you would like to have and post it here. Some inspiration like.
  2. Amateur Game Making Night

    Waaa. Micro machines was the game of my 2nd year in uni!
  3. Amateur Game Making Night

    This is what i made tonight in gamemaker. The red boss is meant to move to the blue player, but instead moves to his health bar. hmmmm. Also, in the background is my re-imagining of Mary Had A Little Lamb. I probably should join that IRC channel to show off my amazing stuff.
  4. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    The down vote is probably from fake scoops. Blambo, Rich Uncle is my favourite, I sometimes just stare at it.
  5. Life

    You in Ireland or the UK then? My usual view out over the city is marred by some giant dark spots where the power is gone. I'm so glad its not me, they are not expecting it back till tomorrow. My gate got blown ourwards by the wind, but for me that is the worst of it luckily! There is some crazy pics around the place of roofs getting taken off buildings.
  6. Amateur Game Making Night

    I did the code academy for python and i thought it was pretty neat. Sometimes the solution won't register even though it is correct, so just head over to the forums and you should be able to copy and paste the exact solution it is expecting. I'm spending 30 mins with gamemaker every night if i can. So far i can move a snake on a grid and draw a health bar.
  7. Dreams!

    I had a thumbs dream last night, but can't remember it. A few weeks ago I had a thumbs dream where the thumbs and I and a man who looked like my uncle were there. Mostly we talked about how remarkably like my uncle the man looked.

    Someone have a nice easy link for us Europeanising the morning please.
  9. Getting into the industry?

    Or I guess you could just do this:( Warning: Sads incoming. http://www.bluecloudsolutions.com/blog/money-apps-turn-1k-200k-portfolio/
  10. Feminism

    Ah go on.
  11. Getting into the industry?

    Yes, I imagine a lot of it is this. My sis in law kept telling me a while back I should have applied for Havok in Dublin though (her friend works here). Could have been interesting, but back then i thought you could only get jobs if you actually knew all the skills they were looking for, rather than walk in and bullshit your way to success and so i was too scared to apply. I do like maths.
  12. GTA ONLINE

    He launched himself off a truck somehow. You will have to ask him how, caus I tried and just god catapulted forward:(
  13. GTA ONLINE

    Hey Zeus, Lu managed to get all the pieces of your car/plane/person interaction going. it didn't quite work out as planned, but James did die somehow. https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/8748-grand-thumb-auto-retro-pc-edition/?p=274946
  14. The Idle Thumbs 10th Anniversary Committee

    It's all getting so meta. Is it all going to fit together into a picture of a puffin and the puffin is a wizzard jeff goldblum?
  15. Getting into the industry?

    I love cooking, but I would never want to be a chef. The thought of Having to cook makes my skin creep. I cook to relax, and entertain and to get delicious foods in my belly. Similarly, I wouldn't like to make video games for a living. The thoughts of dissecting the very thing I love is not at all appealing. Instead, i dissect engineering and maths problems and very much enjoy it. That said, farting around in gamemaker is fun. I solved a problem last night!
  16. I Had A Random Thought...

    I see all of them totally 3D. I'm immune to cinema 3D though, so i guess it evens out:(
  17. Amateur Game Making Night

    Decide to do something and then figure out how to do it. You will probably fail many times, and succeed many times before hitting on a very good solution, but at the end of it to sure will have learned how to so some research on solving problems. Then start working on the next problem. You'll be quicker.
  18. iOS Gaming

    Gross. I've gotten a 192. A single one.
  19. Making a game? Pitch it here!

    I was thinking phd: the video game
  20. Making a game? Pitch it here!

    Is it combined with the sinking feeling that you are a fraud and that everyone thinks you deserve the award, but you know it was only a series of small tasks that you somehow managed to not fuck up?
