Off Topic / Brian Smith's Topic of forgeted up Dreams

« on: May 17, 2012, 03:09:29 PM »

I'm just gonna go ahead and start
Tuesday, May 15 (woops) 2012.

So it started out with me and my friend S (Short for a name I can't spell). me and s were just hanging out when all the sudden the lights turn out and back on any everyone is gone. Then a man with pale skin, dark blue hair and a really nice suit comes in with crumb cake in his hand. He places it on the table in front of S. He then takes me out of my chair by my head and drags me out of the room. He locks the door and waits a few seconds. Then he throws me back into the room, and S is not moving. I quickly checked his pulse, he was paralyzed or something. Anyway, night suddenly just fell and I went to sleep on the floor.
The moment my eyes opened the man came back. I checked on S and he was still the same. And the weird man did the same thing. This happened 2 more times. Then on the 5th time he didn't come with cake, this time he just dragged me out. then he went back inside, but leaving me outside.
Now I heard S scream on top of his lungs. I kicked down the door and saw the devil forcing S into a huge crack in the ground, and out of that crack was green flames. I quickly kicked the devil aside and got S out, then I pushed the devil guy into the crack and it closed up. When I looked back at S he was panting, but alive, and not paralyzed. Then the lights went out for a second, and when they came back, everyone was back, though they all had horns stuck in their backs.

So me and my family were sitting down on a couch watching the news, and all the sudden everything turned off except the TV. Then Obama stood their on a little platform thing, and he said. "Due to recent discoveries, we are going to destroy the world and colonize the world. Though each family is only aloud to bring 1 child. That is all. Drop the child off at the nearest police station and they will be shipped to our secret location." Then the TV went blank, and everything came back on. The news reporter stood there in aw. He must have saw it too, because he took a pen and stabbed himself in the through on national television.  my little brother and my parents both agree'd that i was to go to the moon. So then my parents drive me crying saying their good byes my little brother clings to my arm as i leave. I arrive at the police station. I see a few people i knew but none of my friends. They let out a toxic gas and we all fell asleep. When we woke up we were in suits that kinda looked like the girl's suit from portal except it was white. We got went into an elevator and when we got to the top, we entered the space ship. It was huge. Anyway I took my seat, which was horrible because i was sitting upside down kinda. then on a little TV Obama's face came up and said that once we reach the moon hundreds of thousands of nuclear bombs would destroy the world. There was a count down and we took off, it was really loud. Though once we got out into space it wasn't loud. I could see the moon coming close. I began to panic. I took of my seat belt and cracked, and broke, the window. All at once a very loud wind came and the entire spaceship exploded, and everything was black.
I opened my eyes, and I was in space. And right before me, was god, or atleast a huge guy in a white robe with a huge beard. He said "good work brian, now go back" and he drop kicked me back down to earth, everything was a blur and I saw my house, i broke through the roof into my bedroom. My family came back and they were in aw. I told them the story and they were happy. Then the dream ended

Creativity / Mossy 2.0 - NO BITMAPS FOR YOU

« on: May 13, 2012, 07:51:24 PM »

i can't put the words to it
but i was really bored, and I wanted to make something...
noticeable. And I thought
"What couldn't be more noticeable than an entire operating system?"
so i went out and ventured into the depths of nothingness, studying up on Operating Systems, boot loaders, kernels, C, ASM, etc.
and without further a due, after an scrap and rewrite and 9 builds...
I present...
Mossy 2.0, the worst operating that has ever come into the existence of the universe.
pictures:
1:

2:

3:

4:


the functionality so far:
•a ton of memory stuff that i wont go into detail about
•a time function that states how long you've been on the horrible OS.
•keyboard functionality :DDDDD (took an entire version to make)
•a ton of inside workings
planned functionality (mostly just quick notes to myself):
1) actual command functionality
2) a file system
3) a few drivers
4) maybe some title intro instead of that horrible thing that just saids whats being loaded
5) you suggest it

please don't say things like "use another kernel" or "this is stupid"
i know this is stupid, but it was fun to make, and the output is fun to play with. now excuse me im going to create uppercase functionality. then a file system.

Suggestions & Requests / [REQUEST] Please stop suggesting Blockland on new engines/consoles

« on: May 12, 2012, 07:40:07 PM »

STOP IT!
We have made this clear. CLEARER THAN LIFE ITSELF.
Blockland was made on TGE 1.3.2 because Badspot decided it was a good idea, not because it was the new cool thing. Blockland wasn't made for complex rendering and super mega stuff. It's a brick building game, get that through your thick skulls.

If Badspot wanted to upgade Blockland to a new engine he would have done so a long time ago. But he doesn't because he knows that if he wants something from an engine he can just recreate it.
Torque3D is not for Blockland. Why you might ask? Because there is no use for it. If Badspot wanted to use the rendering code to make rendering better, he would have done it. If he wanted new physics, cloth physics, or any of that junk, he can just buy the engine rip the code out and add it in.
But remember: this is blockland the game where you build stuff with cubes with textures. Not Blockland the game where you see super mega realistic physics and have super awesome cloth for no apparently reason. Other engines would require such intense remakes of already existing code, there would be no point.

Also, Blockland is not going on any other consoles. First of all it stands that it would need to go to a new engine. Second of all there is simply not enough buttons to satisfy Blockland's needs. Third of all the entire Add-On system would go to hell because Sony/Microsoft have such tight pussies. It wouldn't even be fun on a different console. If you want Blockland so badly on such a big screen, learn how to plug a cable into your TV from your computer, it's really not that hard.

TL;DR: I may have gotten the version wrong in the first paragraph or something, made a few types or something. Though lets cut it down to a few points
1) Blockland is not going to change enginges
2) Blockland is not going to any other consoles
3) Blockland is not going to T3D, keep dreaming friends.

Please stop making these handicapped topics, they don't help anyone. We know you want it to be on T3D/Source/PS3/CryEngine/Xbox/Wii/PSP/PSVita, but it isn't going to happen. So sorry but it simply isn't going to happen. Understand that.

Off Topic / Computer was attacked by a virus and wiped.

« on: May 12, 2012, 05:48:18 PM »

So I have a computer downstairs that people don't really use anymore, but we just keep on just incase.
So today I turn it on and everything on my desktop is gone. All my documents and everything are gone. Okay this is weird, so I try to restart it and it says something weird is missing. So my first conclusion is that it was a victim of either a worm or a trojan. Whats gone is gone, now it is what I am to do with it's carcas.

Im thinking about either installing Vista or Ubuntu 12.04 onto it. Im probably going to go with Ubuntu since I'm more familiar with Linux systems (VIM is really nice :c). So what should I do? Post suggestions here.

Creativity / WheelServer - ReInventing the Wheel since '09

« on: May 01, 2012, 09:25:22 PM »

Once apon a time Brian Smith was getting bored of doing nothing in the language of python. So he decided to do something he was best at, reinventing the wheel. Now he all he had to do is decide which kind of wheel he was to reinvent. Nothing graphical, for he had no skill in such categories. Nothing relevent to math, because he had little skill in such categories. Ahah! Sockets! Thats what he must do. Now it was what to do with sockets. He looked through his scripts folder and founder his old webserver which used a little library for webservers. Then the idea struck him! He was to make a webserver! From scratch! With GET and POST compatabilities! Yes!
And thats where I am at now.

Nothing here yet.

Files - 100%
GET  - 80%
POST - 20%
other - 0%

Everything is by Brian Smith.
I kinda rushed this, Ima put more info on later.

Creativity / The Powder Game: The Pomb

« on: April 12, 2012, 10:01:40 PM »

I know there is a Powder Game Topic but I want to show a little fun thing I did in it. And since It was just so creative I decided to post it in here.
So I was doing some tests in Destroyable City 5 (with metro) and after a bit of learning about how Neutrons and Deutronium and Plutonium interact with eachother, I decided to make the Pomb. Since the Bomb's explosion is so massive, it not only lowercased the first letter of it's own name, but it flipped it over and capitalized it. So here we are with the Pomb.

State 1: Pomb
Here is the Pomb before detonation.

State 2: Explosion
I have detonated the bomb and now I got this

State 3: Aftermath

69 pressure :oooo

Post your bombs in the Powder Game (consider thats the only thing I really do in it lol)
