Codey IV: Tundra Terror

 

Want to create your own animated game? You can create a game as beautiful as Tundra Terror with our Learn Game Development with Phaser course. We just released two new lessons this week that hone in on programming animation and camera effects into your games.

Animating game characters (also known as “sprites”) are key to adding an extra layer of visual vibrance to your game. Our new lesson on camera effects will teach you visual tricks like fadeout, camera shake, and much more. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to design and program an equally delightful game like Codey IV: Tundra Terror.

Surfing the net

 

Waves and waves of cat videos and emails. The life of the modern internet surfer. Come to think of it, does anyone say they ‘surf’ the internet these days?

Pixel C-ool

 

Look at its awesome flat build and technological prowess. Just look at it! Google’s Pixel C tablet was the must-have for Christmas 2015, despite falling tablet sales at that time.

A PC in the slow lane

 

My work computer really ground up my gears this afternoon. While fixing up a big file of data for an African telecoms event, the obnoxious little machine decided to go slooooooooow. Really slow. Damn near made me kick the thing in. I was cursing and fuming. Fortunately I was able to do some troubleshooting and closed down a couple of programs to spark up the PC’s performance again. Slow clap, Windows 7, slow clap, just like your slow self.

The trouble with Onedrive

 

 

Now don’t get me wrong. I love Onedrive. At work we now have to start moving our files and documents to Onedrive for Business. Problem is, I have so much stuff, including data archive, which I must preserve for documentary purposes, that getting them all including sub-folders onto the cloud is proving a mammoth task. Oh well, let IT sort it 🙂
