Ok,<strong> most<\/strong> of the time. The game was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/minild-40\/?action=preview&amp;uid=5268\">originally developed<\/a> for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/02\/13\/an-announcement-for-minild-40\/\">MiniLD#40 competition<\/a>, themed: <strong>The Real World<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/jorjon.com\/minild40\/\">Play this game in my site<\/a>\u00a0(or in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/minild-40\/?action=preview&amp;uid=5268\">Ludum Dare site<\/a>)<\/h3>\n<h1>What the hell is this about?<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jorjongames.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/2013-03-01_020550.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-157 alignleft\" alt=\"Avoid the World\" src=\"http:\/\/jorjongames.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/2013-03-01_020550.png\" width=\"115\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>Avoid the world is about defending yourself against media information (or misinformation). You fight with your only weapon while watching TV: your\u00a0<strong>remote control<\/strong>. Your goal is to push away all the words that the TV screen <strong>vomits<\/strong> upon you. If they reach you, your <strong>brain damage<\/strong> will increment, and when 100%,\u00a0<strong>you lose<\/strong>. Note that <strong>you can&#8217;t win<\/strong> against the TV, you will always lose at the end.<\/p>\n<h1>Can I get Brain Damage playing this?<\/h1>\n<p>Good question. <strong>Yes you do<\/strong>, so please play carefully.<\/p>\n<h1>Where are the words coming from anyway?<\/h1>\n<p>The words are automatically read online using advanced alien technology, found in a cave by honorable scientist <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giorgio_A._Tsoukalos\">Giorgio A. Tsoukalos<\/a>. In the modern world, this is known as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/RSS\">RSS<\/a>, a format which most newspapers have.<\/p>\n<h1>Did you find any trouble while doing this?<\/h1>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad you asked.

I had many problems with the implementation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\"><strong>Twitter API is horrible<\/strong> for these kind of stuff. It limits the public search to about 150 queries at a day, or else it requires authorization. No good.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Generating a random <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tetromino\">Tetromino<\/a>\u00a0with <strong>variable-length blocks<\/strong> was really hard. I devised an algorithm\u00a0but it had many flaws. which made the game unplayable.<\/li>\n<li>Besides of the difficulty, having a piece in a weird way was making the word very hard to read, thus making the Twitter API reading thing totally useless.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I don&#8217;t like <\/strong>Tetris\u00a9.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The old good Jenga<\/h2>\n<p>Then, my head was telling me to do something with <strong>physics<\/strong>, which I wanted to discard because I had no experience with physics in AS3 before. But I decided to do a <strong>Jenga<\/strong> game anyways, with words coming from Twitter.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I discarded the Tetromino algorithm in favor to simple horizontal pieces.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/napephys.com\">Nape<\/a>\u00a0physics<\/strong> wasn&#8217;t handling correctly many blocks stacked one above other.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Jenga is <strong>boring<\/strong> single-player.<\/li>\n<li>I started to think about an alternative to Twitter, like Google News or <strong>RSS<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So I had to discard the <strong>tower of blocks<\/strong>, because of technical difficulties. I had pieces falling from the top to the bottom, and that was it.<\/p>\n<h2>And then you killed yourself?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jorjon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2013-03-01_0205501.png\"><img class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Avoid the World\" src=\"http:\/\/jorjon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/2013-03-01_0205501.png\" width=\"115\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a>No, you silly; that&#8217;s<strong> when<\/strong>\u00a0I started to connect dots. <strong>Reading news<\/strong> online, <strong>pieces falling<\/strong> from the top&#8230; <strong>Oh yeah!<\/strong> I will make a game where you have to <strong>gather words<\/strong> being read online and <strong>put them<\/strong> in a box! But anyways, I remembered <strong>my hate of newspapers<\/strong> and decided than instead of collecting them, it would be better to throw them away. Even better, <strong>defend yourself<\/strong> from those nasty words. And that&#8217;s how <strong>I become millionaire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h1>Why didn&#8217;t you make a more interesting gameplay?<\/h1>\n<p>I wanted to! But time was running short.

That&#8217;s one of the reasons why many people use external assets instead of embedding, which is cool, but there are some cases where you can&#8217;t have external assets; for example uploading your game to sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\">Kongregate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With this tool, your embedding problems are in the past!<\/p>\n<p>Resmaker will generate for you a file named Resources.as, where all your assets are embedded.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Supports <strong>*.png<\/strong>, <strong>*.bmp<\/strong>, <strong>*.wav<\/strong>, you name it!<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Supports <strong>*.ttf<\/strong> fonts, with optional\u00a0<em>embedAsCFF<\/em>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Supports <strong>*.xml<\/strong>, with\u00a0<em>mimeType<\/em> set to <em>application\/octet-stream<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Generated file is indented for easy reading.<\/li>\n<li>You can specify multiple data folders, and even use subfolders!<\/li>\n<li>Open-source so you can add what you need.<\/li>\n<li>Supports Windows, Linux and Mac.*<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Usage<\/h2>\n<p>You can run <strong>resmaker -h<\/strong> to get the available list of parameters, but it\u2019s really simple: you specify a bunch of folders where your assets resides (separated by comma), and where the <strong>Resources.as<\/strong> file should be generated, and it will recursively iterate the folders. Remember to use always <strong>absolute paths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, something like:<\/p>\n<pre>resmaker c:\\projects\\mygame\\assets -o c:\\projects\\mygame\\src\\Resources.as<\/pre>\n<p>Will generate:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/2012-01-16_140217.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"Resmaker Example\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/2012-01-16_140217.png\" width=\"825\" height=\"670\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Pro Tip #1<\/h3>\n<p>If you call this tool in a <strong>pre-build step<\/strong>, you won&#8217;t even have to run resmaker: the compiler will do it for you everytime you compile. Talk about automation!<\/p>\n<h3>Pro Tip #2<\/h3>\n<p>You can use the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/b\/oldnewthing\/archive\/2005\/01\/28\/362565.aspx\">%CD%<\/a> variable to avoid manually specifying the absolute path.<\/p>\n<pre>resmaker <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>%cd%\\<\/strong><\/span>assets -o <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>%cd%\\<\/strong><\/span>src\\Resources.as<\/pre>\n<p>That will suppose you store your assets in an\u00a0<strong>assets<\/strong> folder.
