- High School Project update/partial results = mixed results by anewuser at 7:12 PM EDT on June 20, 2010
- June 5 msg update.
Regarding the activity with my students/offsprings/childs/kids, on Monday June 14 there were some great success stories and results. Regarding the same activity with another group of students about the same age/grade, but with a different level of maturity (for better or worse) I feel results were not attained despite us (the group of people working behind the project + school board) planning carefully and hard. The group is tough and vaccined again values and moral hahahahaha.
There's still hope for them ALL, I'm sure, they are just TOO smart socially so they act way older than what you'd expect for their ages. Hope not many more girlies get pregnant at 15, continue drinking alcohol bad (or more heavily than right now) and that somehow, somebody else besides us "touches their heart" to try make them realize life isn't such a party game and they start taking some more responsability socially. Yup, partly a failed activity, where results were not fully attained.
Tits finally over with! To move on to other things, this sort of projects, while great to learn, and to motive oneself are great, but also very time consuming.

- Been playing some Zachtronics games.
KOHCTPYKTOP is a lot of fun (at least for me as a former EE student), simplified IC design sim. Could be a lot better with a few interface tweaks.
Codex of Alchemical Engineering I've been unable to really get the hang of, it involves building and programming mechanisms to assemble (al)chemical compounds. Interface seems to be deliberately irritating.
Ruckingenur II involves reverse engineering some simple access control stuff, really short and simple despite a fairly solid framework. There's a level editor and Zach put together Ruckingenur CE with some hard community developed levels.
Bureau of Steam Engineering was interesting... but I kind of just flailed my way through it. You build Civil War era steampunk mechs and battle them.
Didn't spend much time with Infiniminer (a multiplayer game, so I didn't get much out of it) or WikipediA Quest (which is fully as bizarre as it sounds).
---
Also played Fig. 8, nominally a bicycle sim, it's like a game version of doodling in a textbook. Simply, pretty and strangely serene.
---
[edit]
One of Zach's earlier games was Manufactoid, which involves the design of computer controlled factories for building stuff. It's similar to the later Alchemical Engineering, but not as polished, and involving direct LUA programming. Played around with that for a few hours, can be irritating but still nice to put things together.
It took me a while to realize, but these aren't puzzle games in the traditional sense, they're even somewhat a step beyond The Incredible Machine, with its limited palette of tools for each level. Zach builds a sim with a whole set of tools and invites you to find a solution of your own, and there are certainly always many possible. In the comment thread on Bureau of Steam Engineering, he said: "I try to create all of my puzzles blind of their solutions, so I quite often have no clue how to beat them, let alone how to perfect them." I'm trying to decide if this is genius or lousy game design.

- I thought this was a really interesting article. It's about fan-made translations for games that never made it state-side. I haven't read the whole thing, but I liked the part that involved Neill Corlett (for various reasons, though largely because he's the person who developed the PSF format in the first place - and which many other formats have been based on).
Since I'm posting links anyway (really, I just wanted to acess these links on a different computer), I wanted to post this as well. This article talks about the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "Obtain the Triforce" rumors. They're all bogus, but some of them are pretty elaborate and interesting. #11 even provides an alternate ending (which he describes), if you successfully obtain the triforce (HA!).
I ran out of time on this PC, and wanted to read these articles. I figured here would be as good of a place to post the links as anywhere, and others might find them interesting as well (though, probably not the Zelda rumors article as much). Mouser X over and out.

Fascinating:
Too bad I have the dumb, fat PS3 model that came out right before the slims and after Sony decided it was a good idea to remove the Super Audio CD support (must be hardware). Now I won't be able to experience the superior sound stage and surround support of SA-CD.
If you have a smart and fat PS3, an analogue connection to your receiver would avoid the conversion of DSD to PCM over HDMI. I don't think surround, analogue connections are possible from the PS3, though. You'd most likely have to live with the converted, multichannel PCM over HDMI.

This guy took an electric organ and reprogrammed it so that it can be used to play NES styled music. With all the settings and features it has in it, it sounds like you could do just about any music you want on it.

- I'm reading an interesting discussion in the comments here. I found myself disagreeing with Tadhg Kelly at first, it seemed like an awfully pretentious critique relying on artificial definitions and reductionism to the point of absurdity, but around this post I think I appreciate his point:
Games are not stories, and there's nothing wrong with that. Games are fundamentally an art of world creation, not story creation.
My 2 cents:
This is not to say that there are not stories that involve world creation: The laws of Tolkien's universe live on their own, and many a fantasy story since have been impacted by them. But the games that they suggest are plentiful as well. I personally love the various magic systems in fantasy, but all that a story can provide is a single playthrough of the author's scenario. A game, with an implementation of that system, could be a tremendously richer experience.

I don't know why that would happen, but it happens every time! I suspect that, for whatever reason, the router/ISP goes wonky, and "hiccups" from whatever communication method MU uses.

- I found quite a nice trumpet and trombone SoundFont patch.
They are un-looped and I have been using them for a while and they sound great.
However...
I now want to loop them as when they are un-looped especially on the high notes in some songs they end prematurely which is a pain.
I have no idea how to go about trying to find a good loop point.
Because the samples are real played trumpets and trombones its difficult to find a decent point where the waveform looks similar either end.
I'm guessing they have to match perfectly for there to be no skipping and hopping.
Could there be an easier way to find a decent place to loop rather than manually look at the waveform. Maybe the program I am using is not good for looping. Or maybe I just suck as sample looping. >.<
- by hcs at 8:55 PM EDT on August 25, 2010
- one way, if you can't find a good point to do a normal jump-back loop, is to use a ping-pong loop, where it plays to loop end, then plays the body backwards, then reverses again at loop start, etc. Don't know if the program you're using supports it, but it can be a lot easier to find a usable loop that way.

- by Elven Spellmaker at 10:39 PM EDT on August 25, 2010
- I don't think the SoundFont format allows for ping-pong looping although that is an interesting idea I will look up.
One thing I did find, I have FL Studio 9 and it has a wave editor which has an auto loop function which actually alters the waveform to make it loop.
Its working nicely so far.
Various settings etc., I just fiddle until I like how it sounds.
One thing I didn't know was .wav can store loop points. At least I export the looped waveform out of FL and into my program and it picks up the loop automatically which I assume is stored in the .wav file.

- Most audio editing programs support exporting sample loop metadata.. I always used SoundForge for this purpose.. Alot of audio engine's used in several games can support using loop sample metadata for looping ambient\weapon ,etc sound effects.
I wish Creative didn't fuck up the x-fi series... I still have a faulty MIDI synth thanks to the XtremeGamer in my previous PC, and I still use the sound font that came with my very first Sb Live! card too... CT4MGM.SF2

- My SoundFont is based on the SBLive CT2MGM.SF2 as I preferred it (And didn't find the 4Mb version till after I edited the 2Mb one somewhat) to the 4Mb version.
I'm replacing every patch I can, all but one drum kit has been replaced and I have replaced probably over 30 of the melodic bank 0 patches and of course replaced the awful thunder patches.

- Elven did you ever fix the broken drum kit the default SF2's have? I'm tired of listening to some of my MIDI's and they use a drumkit that for whatever reason has record scratch and other annoying patches in it, but if I switch to the Micro$hit GS synth it sounds "better" ironically...
Hexen suffers this problem alot.

- Could I take a look at some of those MIDIs if you still have them?
The standard 128:000 kit contains a record scratch patch, but there is also a kit at 128:056 which is the SFX kit, funny thing is is that the MS kit also has an SFX kit so I am puzzled as to how it sounds better. Maybe the program that uses the default MS DLS couldn't choose past drumkit 0. (Maybe its a GM only program, iunno)
On another note I have tried replacing the DLS that comes with Windows, and so far its proving to be kinda impossible. DLS only like single layer instruments and most of mine are multi-layered. I have tried and tried to replace it, but every time it either plays nothing or very poor quality.
