What are you currently working on?

[Osmose1000]

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 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 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!

[Ben]

That is too wierd. I literally just had a conversation about sickle cell anemia a couple of days ago.

[SaiKar]

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.

[X_marks_the_ed]

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.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

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!!

[Felix-0]

Working on Spec-ing and building a computer for Computer Repair.
Doing an annoying government project.
and working on my RPG maker 2k3 project.

[MissingName]

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.

[Dragonium]

• 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.

[Muraiko]

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.
