Here we see a father being a dick. How dares he!

Did some experiments together with my mate <canvas>. Nothing gay at all:

People writing extensions are my personal heroes, many extensions for browsers are damn nice to have. (I’ve got 8 extensions installed in Chrome) So a few months ago, I finally came up with an good idea for an extension of my own.

Searching on Twitter for a user has always been a pain in the ass for me. You have to know almost exactly the username of the one you are looking for. On Facebook or Google+ you only have to type some random words which pop up in your head, and BAM! You’ve got what you’re looking for.

Now, after postponing for a few months (no idea why…) I’ve finally published my Twitter extension for everybody: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/eceghbjcmoeollibfnlgpclcpkafnlac/

Let me know what you think!

Yesterday being bored in a Java lesson (we are at the moment learning Object Oriented Programming :-P) I made Snake in HTML5. Afterwards at home I’ve put some more hours in the game and added a highscore.

Play the game here: www.arcomul.nl/snake And beat the highscore!

The basics of the game are quite simple. By hitting a keyboard arrow the first part of the snake moves in that direction. All the other parts are just moving to the next position in the row. When the first part of the snake is on a same position as a ‘food’, there is a new part added to the snake.

When the game finish there is immediately send an Ajax call to a Php file where the score is being saved in the database. By saving your username the score is displayed in the highscore.

Together with @MarcoGijsen I’m creating a concept/website for architecture students in the Netherlands. Our goal is to give architecture students more practical experience before they leave school. At this moment a lot of students does only have a bit or no practical experience at all.

Since Marco himself is an architecture student, I’ll mostly take care of the webdesign and building the site.
At this moment we are still in very early stages. Textual working out the concept, and trying to get some money together.

When I was a kid I’d always make Christmas cards for the children in my class. Now I’m old I still do, but I’m not going to bring them to you. I’m not even going to make them, you should draw it yourself: www.arcomul.nl/ctd/kerst/

Completely made with the canvas element of HTML5 :-) I also learned how objects extending work in Javascript. (With the prototype property)

Again a step closer to WebGL and GLSL shaders. Which, in my opinion, would be cool to learn.

Bonsoir. Last few weeks I’ve learned Java at school. Quite cool is you ask me. The last assignment was to make a ‘hangman’-game with only printing out text. So, a hangman could look like this:

I pimped it up a bit, with an interface:

Now, I am feeling awesome. Lol.

When you like to see the code, or to play it, download the .jar files here: D-d-download!

And here is the result of Project Crafting Car. We’re really satisfied.

See a big image, with all the final images, on the Project Crafting Car blog: http://craftingcar.blogspot.com

And here is a wallpaper:

Last week I’ve been busy with a project together with a friend of mine. We are trying to make a self invented car. See how we progressed here: http://craftingcar.blogspot.com/ (complete in Dutch, but the pictures are cool!)

The final result is mainly made with Blender 3D and rendered with Luxrender. Till now we did quite well I think. Still one day, to come with a complete and perfect image.
