POSTING SPREE

POSTING SPREEEE~~~

Aye, how's it going lads?
so I participated in a pretty interesting project just a few days back, during the 13th-14th of this month(this year too.. yea, I'm too lazy to write numbers, but writing long sentences in parenthases makes much more sense),
It involved 4 teams of 4 teenagers,  all in the age range of 12-18 years-old.
Every team had some programmers(WEB programmers) and graphic designers, and some who did both.
Our goal was to make up an internet-related idea, and build it from the ground-up to a 24-hours deadline, to the eyes of internet viewers all over the world Israel(well the whole world could've watched it, but they had to know about it somehow), by live-cameras capturing our every move(watching programmers at work is as boring as watching paint pale, especially when web-devving, an activity of which I am not fond of).

My team's idea was a GUI that lets you edit and mix youtube videos, by Audio and Video, and let it be saved in our website for future views.
We managed to make it in time and got it up and running here http://www.duoplay.net/codes/ (chrome users might not see the nav-bar icons, sorry for that :\).

This event took place at Microsoft Israel's R&C center, and was made possible by StartupSeeds.

Productivity just hit me in the head with huge chainsaw nunchucks(figuratively speaking)

Do you recall a time when you were hit by an amazing idea, and it's relevancy has passed just a few days before you thought about it?!(it is a rhetorical question if you were wondering)

Well, I thought of that awesome game idea for Hannukah which has just passed a week ago, feeling bad with myself.
But hey, it's Christmas... so I thought getting that theme into the game too.

I've got everything about that game figured, my little C++ game engine is pretty well-finished and the game is going to be awesome,  in my mind that is...

I will just reveal that it will be a 2D arcade-style shooter, no scrolling or any high-tech shit like that.
well, I thought about combining some awesome 3D models just to add some fun and test my skills in graphics algorithms, but we'll see about that being in the game.
