Yep, thats right, its taken me months of hard effort and stress but i have finally done it. Im in two minds about this one, it looks nice and its got quite abit of new tech in it but the gameplay is kinda tricky to pickup due to the 3d nature.



Anyways enough chatter, game follows...

Well today is my second day at my new job and as i havent mentioned my employment change on this blog yet i thought its about time to post about it.

One month ago i decided to leave Dubit and head back to manchester to join Barry and chums at [GameJacket](https://www.gamejacket.com/). [![](/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/character.gif "character")](/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/character.gif)My reasons for this abrupt change after such a short period at Dubit (4 months) are numerous. Mostly it has to do with what I wanted to achieve in the future and the type of projects i want to be a part of. At GameJacket im to be a flash swiss-army-knife of sorts so should keep me on my toes and constantly challenged. In addition to that I am to be working part time of my own volition so i can concentrate atleast part of my working week on developing my own games under the name [Artificial Games](https://www.artificialgames.co.uk).

Two days in and im thoroughly enjoying myself and im sure now i have made the right move. Anyways enough chat heres a pic of my new office:

[![](/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/photo.jpg "photo")](/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/photo.jpg)

[![](/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/artificialgamesscreeny.png "artificialgamesscreeny")](www.artificialgames.co.uk)

Well i have now finished moving about and have set up a home for [Artificial Games](https://www.artificialgames.co.uk).

I have also been forced to remove the comunity mixes from this site due to restriced hosting space, oh well i would preferr good hosting over infinate space.

I have decided to dump my crappy [streamline.net](https://www.streamline.net/) hosting and go for something [a little better. ](https://www.slicehost.com/)



Im going to be making a large overhall to this site and setting up a new site dedicated to [Artificial-Games](https://www.artificialgames.co.uk), bear with me ;)

... well im on the front page of the gamejacket homepage, im not exactly A-list now but its better than nothing ;)

Well im back from my excellent holiday in Mata with my little lady. I havent uploaded pics to my picassa account for a while so i thought i would take this oppertunity to do so and upload some holiday snaps at the same time ;)

From [Malta08](https://picasaweb.google.com/mike.cann/Malta08)

Normally when i post a big number like that its followed by the word "particles" but surprisingly this time it followed by the word "views". Why? Well i have (probably a few days ago now) broken my 1 million plays cherry on 4 flash games.

<input height="43" width="470" type="image" src="https://www.artificial-studios.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/image/1000000.png" longdesc="undefined" />

To be fair the majority of these have come from my latest game IcySlicy (670k and counting), but im still pretty proud of the number. Im hoping my next game will do over a million by itself, but then again it could just get two plays :P

Prolly his funniest one yet i think :P

Well after weeks and weeks of having the game all but finished i have finally sorted out the sponsorship, ironed out the bugs (most of them) and sorted all the artwork. The game is now released and ready to be sliced up by critics on the internet.



Anyways onto the game; The object of the game is simple. Several silly critters and their things have gotten frozen inÂ  the ice and they need your help to cut them out. Using your mouse slice off chunks of ice in this exciting physics based game!

Continuing on from the previous post i thought i would just quickly post a picture of my new workspace at Dubit :)


<input width="600" type="image" height="450" src="https://www.mikecann.blog/wp-content/uploads/image/photo.jpg" longdesc="undefined" />

Well i have been living in my new pad in Leeds for going on 4 weeks. Loving the wide open space and the convenience of it to everything else.



Anyways here is a video i took to show potential flatmates on Gumtree:

Just a quick one to say i have added a 'games' page at the top for quick reference by myself in my flash games to all the other games by myself.


Well i just got back from the geek-based crazyness that is the stourbridge LAN party. Despite having the worlds word journey getting down there i still had a bloody good time. As usual pictures and videos [on picassa](https://picasaweb.google.com/mike.cann/LAN08), heres a lil sample:

This is a clone of the post i made on the GameJacket developer forums here: [https://gamejacket.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=59](https://gamejacket.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=59) but i think it deserves a re-post here so it can be googled :)



<span class="spnMessageText" id="msg">As i had quite abit of trouble getting GameJacket to fit into my work flow properly and have no finally managed it I have decided to share my experiences and write a tutorial.

So this is a tutorial for using FlashDevelop with the Flex Complier to build a game with a pre-loader that passes the GameJacket security checks.</span>

<span class="spnMessageText" id="msg">

Firstly i assume you have downloaded and installed Flash Develop successfully (if you havent grab it from here [https://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewforum.php?f=11&amp;sid=322bc6ebe846fdaba31f86627ac2c3ac](https://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewforum.php?f=11&sid=322bc6ebe846fdaba31f86627ac2c3ac) and follow the install instructions). And i assume you have downloaded the GameJacket developer pack.

Next lets setup a project to work in:

![](../../../../../flash/GameJacketTutorial/01.png)

Now we have our project setup lets add a little code into the in our Main.as which will represent our game:

</span>

package

{

import flash.display.Bitmap;

import flash.display.Sprite;

public class Main extends Sprite

{

[Embed(source = "cat.gif")]

public var Cat:Class;

public function Main():void

{

var bm : Bitmap = Bitmap(new Cat());

addChild(bm);

}

}

}

<span class="spnMessageText" id="msg">You will obviously replace this with your actual game code but for the purposes of this tutorial the game consists of a very large picture of a cat.

Try running this now, as you should expect there is our "game" up and running.

The next step is to add the GameJacket security code. To do this lets add a new class to the project and call it GJCheck.as:

![](../../../../../flash/GameJacketTutorial/02.png)

Now we are going to fill this with the same code as there is in the "main.as" of the AS3 folder of the GameJacket Developer Pack:</span>

package

{

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.display.LoaderInfo;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

public class GJCheck extends Sprite

{

public var GameJacketSec : GameJacketAS3 = new GameJacketAS3();

public function GJCheck()

{

// Setup and run GameJacket Security Code

// GameJacketAS3.as file must be in the same folder as your fla when publishing

GameJacketSec.setVariables(LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo));

// Add Event Listeners so we know the outcome of the security checks

GameJacketSec.addEventListener("GameJacketPass", securityOK);

GameJacketSec.addEventListener("GameJacketFail", securityError);

}

private function securityOK(e:Event):void

{

// Remove the event listeners

GameJacketSec.removeEventListener("GameJacketPass", securityOK);

GameJacketSec.removeEventListener("GameJacketFail", securityError);

}

private function securityError(e:Event):void

{

// Remove the event listeners

GameJacketSec.removeEventListener("GameJacketPass", securityOK);

GameJacketSec.removeEventListener("GameJacketFail", securityError);

// This function will run if the game does not pass the security checks

var tf : TextField = new TextField();

tf.text = "An error has occured please contact: you@webmaster.com";

tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;

tf.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2)-(tf.textWidth/2);

tf.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;

addChild(tf);

}

}

}

<span class="spnMessageText" id="msg"> As you can see this is just the standard Game Jacket security check code but with a little more helpful message if the the security check fails.

Now this is in we need to make sure that this is our new "document" class for the game, to do this in FlashDevelop right-click GJCheck.as and select always compile:

![](../../../../../flash/GameJacketTutorial/03.png)

Now you can test run your game again and unsurprisingly you should be presented with "An error has occured please contact: [you@webmaster.com](mailto:you@webmaster.com)", this is because your game hasnt been uploaded to the GameJacket website yet and hasnt been approved.

To get around the security check and make the rest of this tutorial possible change the constructor in GJCheck.as to add this line:

</span>

public function GJCheck()

{

...

securityOK(null); // Dont forget to remove this line before submitting to GJ

}

<span class="spnMessageText" id="msg"> Also add this line so that when the security succeeds we start the Preloader:

</span>

private function securityOK(e:Event):void

{

...

// Start the preloader

addChild(new Preloader());

}

<span class="spnMessageText" id="msg"> And now add a new class to the project and call it Preloader.as and make it extend Sprite. Before we write the code for the preloader we need to setup flash develop so that it compiles our game into the second frame of the Flash Movie, this way our preloader can sit on the first frame and monitor the loading progress of the second frame.

To do this we need to change add some additional compiler options to the flex compile line. To do this right click the project in the project explorer and select properties then go to the compiler options tab and enter "-frame two Main" in the Additional Compiler Options box:

![](../../../../../flash/GameJacketTutorial/04.png)

Now our preloader should be loaded by flash first and then the game second.

Next we just have to flesh out the preloader, i have omitted the code here but you can view all the code in the source provided in this turorial.

And thats all there is to it, you can now test out your game, if you do test it locally you probablly wont see any loading progress as it loads too fast, but if you upload it to the web somewhere you will see the loading percent tick up and then finally you will be presented with a start button to start the game!

![](../../../../../flash/GameJacketTutorial/05.png)

**!!DONT FORGET!!** Dont forget to remove the "securityOK(null);" in the GJCheck constructor before you try to upload to GameJacket or else you will pass the security check every time when you are supposed to fail.

Well here is my next flash based offering...

Its called blast out and the idea is its a modern day version of Break Out. You have to bounce the ball around (which you may recognise from Blast Wave ;)) and destroy the terrain to release the particles. You can collect the particles by holding the left mouse to attract them down to your paddle.



This is actually a much smaller version than the "full" game that i wrote. I originally intended to allow users to make thier own levels in-game which they could then share with others. Unfortunately however flash doesnt allow cross-domain file sharing so i had to cut all that beautiful WORKING code out at the last minute :(

Oh well, i think whats left is still pretty good, hope you enjoy it too!

Well i have now found a new job at a company called Dubit in Leeds, it looks to be an excellent company, looking forward to working there.



But it also means that i have to go flat hunting again and I have to leave this excellent flat behind :( To help Michelle out with finding a replacement for me i have decided to <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">resurrect </span>this video to show others.

So if you are interested in this flat smack bang in the centre of Mancheter then send either me ([mike.cann@gmail.com](https://mike.cann@gmail.com)) or Michelle ([m_blenkharn@hotmail.com](mailto:m_blenkharn@hotmail.com)) an email.

While i have been thinking about what im going to work on for my next flash game i have decided to look abit into whether doing destructible landscapes is now feasible with the new (ish) bitmap abilities.

Because of my earlier work on destructible landscapes on [LieroXNA ](https://www.mikecann.blog/?p=208)i know where the potential performance bottlenecks lie.

One of these is the reading of the pixel data to perform collision checks. This has to be quick as all the objects must check each frame to see if they collide with the terrain and potentially more than one "lookup" must happen to do this (pixel perfect collisions).



So before i dive into this potentially hazardous project i have decided to do a little performance checking to see which method would be the best.

My reasoning is i can either:

A - check the pixel data of a BitmapData object using getPixel or getPixel32

B - store the collision data in an Array which may allow for faster reading.

C - instead of using an array use a ByteArray which may be even quicker

So to test which of these methods is quicker i wrote this quick thing in FlashDevelop:

```
public class Main extends Sprite

             {

              public function Main():void

              {



               // Vars

               var i : int;

               var j : int;

               var x : int;

               var y : int;

               var w : int = 500;

               var h : int = 500;

               var reps : int = 50;

               var n : int = w * h;

               var tmp : int;

               var tmp2 : uint;

               var t : cTimer = new cTimer();

               var ba : ByteArray = new ByteArray();

               var a : Array = new Array();

               var bm : BitmapData = new BitmapData(w, h, false);

               var tbm : BitmapData = new BitmapData(w, h, true);







               trace("");

               trace("");

               trace("----- WRITE TESTS -----");



               // Write byte array test

               t.start();

               for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { ba.writeByte(cMath.rndRange(0, 255)); }

               t.update();

               trace("BYTE ARRAY: " + t._time);



               // Write array test

               t.start();

               for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { a[i] = cMath.rndRange(0, 255); }

               t.update();

               trace("ARRAY: " + t._time);







               trace("");

               trace("");

               trace("----- READ TESTS -----");





               // Read byte array test

               t.start();

               for (i = 0; i < reps; i++)

               {

                for (y = 0; y < h; y++)

                {

                 for (x = 0; x < h; x++)

                 {

                  tmp = ba[(y * w) + x];

                 }

                }

               }



               t.update();

               trace("BYTE ARRAY: " + t._time);





               // Read array test

               t.start();

               for (i = 0; i < reps; i++)

               {

                for (y = 0; y < h; y++)

                {

                 for (x = 0; x < h; x++)

                 {

                  tmp = a[(y*w)+x];

                 }

                }

               }

               t.update();

               trace("ARRAY: " + t._time);







               // Read bitmap test

               t.start();

               for (i = 0; i < reps; i++)

               {

                for (y = 0; y < h; y++)

                {

                 for (x = 0; x < h; x++)

                 {

                  tmp2 = bm.getPixel(x, y);

                 }

                }

               }

               t.update();

               trace("BITMAP: " + t._time);









               // Read bitmap test

               t.start();

               for (i = 0; i < reps; i++)

               {

                for (y = 0; y < h; y++)

                {

                 for (x = 0; x < h; x++)

                 {

                  tmp2 = tbm.getPixel32(x, y);

                 }

                }

               }

               t.update();

               trace("TRANSPARRENT BITMAP: " + t._time);





              }

             }
```

And it kicks out these values:

````
----- WRITE TESTS -----

BYTE ARRAY: 219

ARRAY: 165

----- READ TESTS -----

BYTE ARRAY: 1337

ARRAY: 1331

BITMAP: 1747

TRANSPARRENT BITMAP: 1779
```

So as you can see it looks like the ByteArray and the Array are about as fast as each other as is the Bitmap read and Transparrent Bitmap read.

Heres my latest flash based creation, Blast Wave.

This one was a blast to make, no pun intended, and only took 2 weeks. Hope you all enjoy!

Well i have made a decision, instead of starting 10000 projects and never finishing i have decided instead to do some quick projects and shoot them out the door. So the best way to do this i figure is to make flash games.

So here is my first flash game of a few. Its basically a port of a game i did in the first year of uni in DarkBASIC but with some modifications.



Hope you all enjoy it :)

Well, i have had another one of my site-moves around, hope you like it :D


Well thats it for my time at Rockpool Games.

Since friday the 28th of March Eidos (owners of Rockpool Games) are making thier mobile department redundant.



Its not all doom and gloom however as we all have 90 days remaining fully paid and redundency payments ontop of that, so as today is the first day since the news broke on friday we have been doing very little. I have even had time to build myself a little fort and declare myself the ruler of of this part of the office.

Recently I have been working on some small tools for the lads at work to aid them in designing mobile phone games.

One project I have been working on for a while (in my spare time at work and in the evenings at home) is a new version of PlaceEd. PlaceEd is a small app used by people at work who need to design levels with objects and paths in them.



The reason for making this new version was because the original was starting to show its age and after several modifications to customise it to certain projects it has become unreliable. A second version (PlaceEd2) was half coded by one of the other employees at rockpool though they ran out of time and didn&rsquo;t complete it.

So that&rsquo;s where I come in, and I wrote from scratch a new app and called it PlaceEd 3 (even though there wasn&rsquo;t really a fully released version of PlaceEd 2).

![](/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/placeed3out01.png)

PlaceEd3 lets the user create a new project. This project can have levels added to it. Each level can have a certain number of layers. Layers can be either one large image or a tileset and tileset data. The user can then create objects and give them variables that can either be static (global to all objects of that type) or they can be local which means each object has its own value for that variable. Objects can then be placed on the level and moved and dragged about. Paths can also be placed on the level, this is useful for games that need to script specific movement sequences.

Once a level has been designed it can then be exported as a single binary file that is easily compressed and a java source file that gives a demonstration of how to load the binary data file.

The whole app is written in C# using WeifenLuo docking panels. For the rendering of the level I have integrated an XNA 2.0 panel for speed it gives.

Well i was just thinking in work today that it may be possible to detect the bounds of the the particle "clusters" and then line drawing the boundry and then you wouldnt notice the compression that the particles tend to suffer from.



When i got home i tested out my theroy and the results can be seen below. Its pretty obvious that its not perfect but as i say it was just me messing.

Oh BTW grant kot has been working on his polluted planet some more, and its starting to look quite impressive now its over in XNA: [link1](https://kotsoft.googlepages.com/multifluidvideo1.html), [link2](https://kotsoft.googlepages.com/)

Okay well i have been playing around with my particles **AGAIN **:P



I started this time from some work done by the [CUDA](https://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get_samples.html) team over at NVidia. As im running windows Vista i couldnt get CUDA to work so i read through the source and adapted it to my needs.

As you can see from the video below its better than my last attempt but still not perfect, it also still runs on  the CPU on a single core and has had no optomisations applied to it.

Hopefully tho i can build on this to make it better.

Well after seeing what [Polluted Planet](https://www.mikecann.blog/?p=226) did with large numbers of interactive particles in java, it got me interested.

So i have decided to have a go at implementing it myself in XNA.



So here it is, my first attempt at it. Currently the algorithm is very rough as you can see from the video there are still some problems that cause the particle to behave a little... umm.. erratic ;)

Hopefully with abit more time and effort ill get it sorted. At the moment there are 5000 interacting particle on one CPU, hopefully i will beable to push that figue up soon and take advantage of my quad-core system :)

I stumbled accross this yesterday and thought it was too good not to comment on it.

You know me how i love particles, and this is just particle crazy!

And the amasing thing is it was written in java!
