Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten around to making the project pages. I did manage to throw together a Links page though. Otherwise, I've made a great deal of progress on my sidescrolling engine, such as setting up a system and a (semi)PROPER data structure. I also have done a slight bit of art. Along with the art, I've added (read: hacked) in a system for 'blocking' thumbnails and previews of images that might not be for everyone. You must go to the art page first, where the download link and the description will be displayed for you.
As for everything else that's going on, I suppose I haven't been doing much. I've gotten most of my long term, and quite a bit of my short term school/college work done, and am pretty much able to concentrate on programming. And that's ABLE, kids, not that I've really gotten around to concentrating on it at all. I do plan on looking into working some on the project pages right now, though, since I do have the time and site progress is on my mind.
A few projects down, so I'm taking a moment to add a thing or two. I have edited the comment system a slight bit to allow email hiding/showing. This is merely for privacy issues/concerns. Though, as it always has been, the email field is not required. However, if people still wish to give me their email when they comment, they can. They just don't have to let everyone else see it too.
I've also been taking some extra time within my college classes to rework my old sidescroller engine. Now that I've learned a bit in the ways of data structures and other similarily useful concepts, I can start molding it into some sort of game, perhaps. I still know it's far from being anything interesting, but at least I am making some progress.
With this said and done, I really have incentive to put together the project pages. Procrastination, coupled with my Concepts of Operating Systems report is kind of getting in the way of productivity.
I haven't had much time at all to concentrate on the last few pages of the site. I have a college acceptance essay to write, a 7 page research paper to write, a large english paper to write, a humongous art project, and many smaller school assignments that need doing.
The art page is now complete. I've added some photographs to it, in comparison to the old site. Each artwork can have comments as well, just like music and news posts. Finally...
Next up, though, are either the project pages, which will take more coding, or the about and links pages, which will be really simple.
Well, I took a little time today and fixed up the music page a bit. It's no longer a boring table of links. Each song has its own creation time, play length, and description displayed under its name. Oh did I mention that you can now comment on each individual song? My art page is next because it should be fairly simple. I think my major problem is going to be the project pages, since they need to be fairly dynamic, as they will cover all sorts of projects regardless of the type/language.
As an added bonus I've also done a little bit of work to come up with a Recent Activities panel for the side bar. This should make it easier for those who just pop onto the site to see what's been changed. This should also help me locate where new comments have been placed so that they can be more easily monitored.
Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to work on the site due to school/college work and my own programming projects which I have been concentrating more on. I hope to add a more extensive music page, an art gallery, and at least get some work done on the two project pages within the near future.
And because some people seem to not know about it, I have put another song up on youtube.
I'm pretty sure it's not the best thing there is in ways of displaying a list of music, but it's the best I could come up with at the time. I'll probably do more work on it at some later point in time. It uses the Yahoo Media player plugin, though it has been heavily modified. I think it's a very useful attachment and I hope it makes browsing though my music easier.
I am proud to present to you this site after a week long campaign to practically redevelop the site. Not only does it have a new look, but it's much more organized and secure. Throughout the process, not too much of the old site was able to be carried over, aside from some chunks of code and of course news entries. I hope you like the new look and layout as much as I liked making it.
Unfortunately, this is about all there is at the time. The rest of the site is, well, not there. I have yet to develop any of the other pages in the menu other than the home page and even it isn't entirely done yet! The comment system is the next thing on my list of things to do, and trust me, it is a LONG list. Speaking of comments however, I had to remove them all to make way for my planned new comment system. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Update: The comment system has been completed, for the most part. I just need to set up some CSS for the quote and code tags. Shouldn't be too hard to do.
As new parts of the site become available I will make note of it here.
I'm starting to work on something a little outside my area of 'expertise', if you could call it that. I'm trying to work on a map/wadfile for ZDoom, though I bet my lack of abilities will shoot it down soon enough.
If i work hard hopefully something will become of this. At least I hope to learn HOW to do it, regardless of whether or not I can do it WELL.
In other news however I may be doing a bit of remodeling on the site to make it more compatible with things other than megazeux, since i'm sort of drifting away from using it so much. I also plan to make the site based a bit more on me than the komment games group as a whole, since there really isn't much going on here that involves anyone else. Lots of outside links to my music and such will probably be broken if I end up doing anything. Oh well...
