I'm curious as to what side projects / work / schoolwork / etc. everyone is working on.
I for example, am primarily working on a Super Nintendo Emulator written in Java, called Super Nintendo Online (SNO). The idea is similar to vNES: SNO is a Java applet that you can embed into any web page. You will be able to pass it a URL for a ROM file and a save state, and both will be loaded automatically so that users can jump right into any point in a game.
The project is my Senior Design project for college, and my progress on it determines if I graduate or not. Currently me and my group have all but around 10 CPU instructions implemented and are currently working on getting video output to work. We're testing using a game called Super Valis IV and can get around 100,000 instructions executed before the game starts to run incorrectly.
What stuff are you currently working on? It can be homework, a side project, actual work, etc.
-
I have so much school work I should be doing.
I have few sideprojects I'd like to be doing but haven't got to.
I wanna do more 3D stuff to.

I do more 3D stuff to for course.
-
On one hand, I could say Im doing very little....but on the otherhand Im doing lots.
In theory, Im unemployed...but thats just in title.
Ive got 3 flash game collabs slowly on the go, and expect at least 2 of them to be done by February...as well as 2 projects of my own that will be done whenever they get finished. These dont make me any money yet (well, thats not true, Im owed like, six dollars from a Kongregate game), but they are fun. In addition to the games Im working on, Im trying to figure out how to make a set of resource generators for this place. Being active in the beta test for stencyl is helping me learn things...but its still slow going. Im hoping to have a prototype for the new year.
Im building a coffee table out of business cards (modular origami style). This is because I like to do things.
Im painting pictures and making paper toys, building some robot suits for my February Art grant application, as well as trying to apply for a business liscense for when that all goes through. Then I can say in honesty that Im making a living doing nothing.
-
Quasigen Island is the main game I'm working on.
Also doing a crappy game.
Also doing a powerpoint on Sickle-cell anaemia for my course!
-
That is too wierd. I literally just had a conversation about sickle cell anemia a couple of days ago.
-
I've got one or two side projects, but mostly I'm just focusing on the little stuff right now and getting adjusted to my lifestyle.
-
I'm picking up a few new programming languages, but I'm probably not gonna get very far into them until I finished learned about various file formats. I'm using this knowledge to build a Mugen-based SSB engine (in Game Maker, but still, file formats).
Also, I'm building some NES Reproduction cartridges.
-
Trying to hit jobs in (or that involve someway or another) Japan. So i can move there; legally.
Also 2 RMVX project. One that is Mirror and is active, and the other that is Saga Crusade which will be held til Mirror is done.
And a gazillion art/design projects/jobs.
-
That is too wierd. I literally just had a conversation about sickle cell anemia a couple of days ago.
It's fascinating. It's due to a defect in the Beta Globin gene that codes for the Beta polypeptide
strands. It causes the amino acid known as Glutamic Acid to be replaced with Valine. This causes
a change in the tertiary structure and removes a vital bend, taking away the globular haemoglobin
structure and making the polypeptide strands elongated, pushing outwards and causing red blood cells to
disfigure and fire out in sharp spikes. So yeah.
I'm actually thinking of putting some genuine biological knowledge in my game, since it's all gonna be
science-based!!
-
Working on Spec-ing and building a computer for Computer Repair.
Doing an annoying government project.
and working on my RPG maker 2k3 project.
-
College for mechanical engineering. Current subsections include a pain in the @ss physics lab and a paper about energy.
Attempting to find a job either on-campus or in town.
Working on both a crappy and a serious game.
Trying to figure out how to talk to that girl I like.
-
Uh, lets see...

- learning 3 pieces for concert band
- learning classical excerpts from Beethoven's 3rd Symphony

-
- Building a basic website for my Web Technologies module which would be no problem if I had any prior experience with web design. Simple CSS practically made my head explode.
- Doing a Requirements & Evaluation assignment which would be no problem if I'd actually been to any of the lectures or non-optional workshops.
- Working on a Sonic Arts piece which would be no problem if the editing software hadn't been coded somewhere in the ****ing Malebolge.
- Constantly reminding myself I need to figure out how looping works in FL Studio so I can finish those ambient loops for Gem.
- Trying to get a band together, which is no easy task when you're mediocre at everything.
- Jotting down ideas for a piece of writing I will never do.
- Desperately searching for a job.
-
I'm currently procrastinating my english narrative assignment.
Barely doing any more work on my RM2K3 game, The Epitome of Anima.
Trying to learn learn 3DS Max or Maya but my computer sucks too much to run them.
Drawing more human figures especially from photographs and images.
Digital Painting.
Got into playing Star Ocean 3 again.
-
figure out how looping works in FL Studio
I just use the Direct wave synth usually and import the track as a sample...Then I usually loop the noise directly from the sample editor in DW.
There is no rush on this. The Parasomnia thing isnt slated for release until the new year when the beta goes public
-
Um...Kyoob, really.
Occasionally, at least.
When I actually think of something to do.
-
So you can actually speak Japanese and all? Cool.
on a conversational level. Like, I can get myself help if I ever needed it.
However I can only hear it and speak it at that level. Reading and writting it, is proving to be real difficult.
-
Yep.
I have ability to readand understand written Italian, French, and portuguese. However I cannot speak it, hear it or write it. my knowledge of both english and spanish kinda helps with those three languages.
-
Yeah? Well, I can speak, write, understand and read both French and English!
I'm currently working on nothing, though, beside school. And games. Lazyness and lack of patience, yes.
-
Does fixing this damn forum count as something I'm working on?
-
Well Normally i work Sun-tues nights. 12 hour shifts in a Wafer Fab creating Microchips.
On my days off, After the Girl friend goes to Bed, i work on my projects.
Currently i am:
Drawing out the story-board/roughs for Dude the Super Fighter Issue 1.
Working on an Un-announced Game with several people. Currently its being created as a Table-top game but were hoping to turn it into a Computer game that can be played over the Internet. With the main Rulebook nearing completion our team has turned to balance. Trying to balance over 3000 Abilities and 1200 Spells is time consuming.
I Started working on a RPG Maker 2k3 game recently, but its on the back-burner and hasn't progressed much in the last couple weeks.

[quote author=lucas_irineu link=topic=27128.msg350220#msg350220 date=1287959216]
I see.
Its funny, because I have the exact opposite with English. Can't pronounce ****, but as you can see I can read and write just well.
[/quote]
How's your vocal comprehension? Like, on what level are you able to grasp spoken English?
Also, I thought we fixed this quote thingy. Whatever, I'm not going to fix it manually, it takes less time to just type up a lengthy edit about how things are still happening and how I don't plan on fixing it because ad infinitum.
-
A secret project.
The RP
School

And I've also picked up Star Ocean till the end of time.
-
So Im currently working on nothing aside from trying to figure how how I can fix this BBC bug. Thats my new project. If im dead from a horrific suicide within the week, you now know why
-
Working on a watercolor of FE7's Canas. I have all this freaking ultramarine blue and magenta, and I was all "I need to make something purple!"
And, well, yeah.
Somehow, magically, I acquired the ability to create art competently. Much more competently than when I came to charas, XD. Thanks to this magical magic, I am now an art major. Magically.
Hopefully going to transfer for something less hoity toity and useless.

Interesting.

Okay, you're a lot more hardcore than I thought you were.
-
I took a lot of time off work for school. I work only 10 to 12 hours a week now. School's my big concern, though I'm constantly distracted. I want to finish my game, but I gave up hardcore on that. I also recently formed a band. The band seems far more successful than the game, so the game gets assed out.
Other than that, I play poker every Sunday with muh friends while trying to work in time for my g-friend who always complains about how we don't spend enough time together.

You acquired? You make it sound like this happened overnight or as if you discovered the ability at random.
-

Sure seemed random to me.
I had to take a drawing class for my original major, and somehow, all the sudden, in the first class, I could draw o__O
Professor was all "Oh, I see you've taken advanced art classes!!"
I, uh, had not. No art since elementary school.
It would make so much more sense if it were just a fluke, and I could only draw oranges with charcoal, but that wasn't the case.
Only theory I have is that charcoal works magic on my fingers, or something. Alternatively, it could be that my continued photography somehow made me able to do it.
-
Making a run to the big scanner at campus Monday, actually, so there will be gallery-age.
I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm /good/, just, far enough to say I suddenly got decent and don't know where it came from.
-
Yeah, I'd like to see this first hand. I guess I m reluctant cause I am in the art business. So it intrigues me.
-
reluctant = threatened!
-
reluctant = threatened!
this is funny because of the high levels of brutal truth

I have a research paper due Friday in my Foundations of Medieval/Renaissance Civilizations class. It's worth 1/4 of my overall grade :D
I also have music theory homework. Really easy and boring right now.
And our campus chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia is doing a Disney Musicale in December. I'm doing a barbershop quartet arrangement of Go the Distance from Hercules! I get the lead part, so I got lucky. The other tenor part has some ridiculously high notes! I can hit them, but sustaining them with good tone? Haha. Nope.
-
Right now I'm studying astrophysics and math. Hopefully in the summer I can get a research job, or a job with another researcher. I'm learning C++ so I can run simulations of sweet stuff like galaxy formations and black holes and whatnot. I'm hoping to have at least 2 papers published by the time I get my BSc. With luck, I'll have one paper by the end of the coming summer, which will help immensely in getting a better position the summer after. Hopefully everything works out.
-
I am learning to mod Fallout New Vegas. It's pretty easy. If only I could model, then I'd be able to make awesome stuff.
E: By the way if anyone wants any New Vegas **** done I totally will I want the practice. I can convert FO3 mods, too, within reason.
-
I'm not working on Kyoob right now, actually.
There was a little hiccup regarding certain attack powers.
Instead I'm fiddling around with my steampunk RPG, and trying to figure out what exactly to do with it. Which is going swimmingly.
Not going to program anything until I have a solid framework set up, though.
-
Trying to get Terra up for next week + Writing the libretto for a musical. Also world domination, starting with the invasion of Luxembourg.
-
Also world domination, starting with the invasion of Luxembourg.
I see that someone been stealing my master plan.

I thought it was our master plan. Turn Luxembourg into a giant Ikea so that all of Europe will have sensible furniture they can assemble out of the box.
-
Dunno, Switzerland has the medicine industry. Might hit them first, then Luxembourg.
-
I'm trying my damnedest to muster up both the will and and idea for work on more Unfunny Comics. My laziness is at a criminal level right about now.
-
Does that mean the government guy will show up and arrest you in a totally unfunny manner?
-
He damn well better.
-
Probably not. Unfortunately I think a nuclear bomb exploded not far away from him...
-
That won't stop him...

Hey, I'm not short!
I mean, I'm not all that tall, but there's no reason to start making fun of my height...

He was talking about a part of you.
*She
Ididn't really know who was saying it but lool
-
I'm working on the most boring possible part of my game ever. But it's vital:
The Menu System... :'(
-
Me? Still working on a crappy game. I hope to finish it under 8,000 hours.
-
I forgot Archem was microscopic.
Wait, what? Where do you see any microscopism?
It was just a zoom in of the destroyed town! And I don't like this version of Paint.

I am working on a Mother 3 themed texture pack for Minecraft. Here, have some pictures.

No, just doing it for fun. I wouldn't win.
And I doubt they want copyrighted material in their contest anyway.

For some reason I always thought your avatar was a microscopic ghost...I thought someone said it once...must have dreamed it.
Oh weird you're in my dreams.
EDIT: Also I thought that building was a chair.

Getting some of the main blocks in my texture pack done, slowly.

Unless you've seen that one creepy picture with me wearing lipstick. I swear, it's all Photoshop. Unless you love a man who's all made-up. Then yeah, definitely real.

Someone suggested I try the Ambient Occlusion mod on my textures. I need new pants.

...goddamn.
I need to get Minecraft now.

Ambient Occlusion mod
What is?

A mod which adds Ambient Occlusion, of course.

Several people, oh who good sir are these other people I don't know of?!
I do believe one Mr JaggedDragon is heading most of the work on this here project :P
and yes, I still occaisionally check here!
-
Planning another webcomic. Could be interesting.
-
I'm working pretty heavily on a CBS and a Skilltree System. I want to kick my old project back into gear and finish it sometime in the early months next year. Yeah, we've always said Charas members never finish anything. I still wish we had a list of cool games members made. Its a shame I've only recently felt any urge at all to go and see what rm2k3 can actually do. Because it turns out it can do a lot.

Very nice.
