Holy cow! Watching a debate is... enjoyable? Well, that was how I felt just now. More on that later.

Here's what I did today:

I went to MPBJ Library to help out with the State Level Malay Debate Competition ala Parliament Style.

All I did was direct some schools to the respective places. No biggie. And I also helped with the time keeping once. And that was the time I enjoyed the most, despite having such a boring job.

When the Timbalan Perdana Menteri talked, I was like OMG!!! She's really great at public speaking. She speaks with ... emotion... and elegance! When she talked, I was like, "Yes, this team will definitely win". Really, government won, and the best speaker was her, according to the judges. I really enjoyed her speech.

Well, the day wasn't as bad as I expected. There's one more day left. Tomorrow's the semi finals and the final round. Can't wait man! So "kan cheong"!!

Sigh... skipping school...

For the next 2 days I won't be in school. Instead, I'll be at a public library, helping out with the state level debate competition. The best thing out of this, though, is that I'll get 5 points for Koko! Yeah!!

I'll be missing quite a lot of drama rehearsals leh, I mean for the BM interclass drama competition. I need to memorise my lines!!

Anyway, for Mr Ball, the Maze Editor is coming along great! Here's a screencap of it in action:




So far, the editor only supports floor plan editing. You can't add any objects yet. That's gonna be one hard thing to do. Well, let's see what I can do.

Omg, I can't believe it!

Here's Don't Forget from Demi Lovato


I don't know why, but I'm a little touched by the song. It's just so beautiful. At first, I hated this song, because it's not the rock-ish Demi song that I used to listen, but after listening to it for a while, I got attached to it, and now, I'm stuck to it. I don't know why, something about this song just makes me feel sad, but at the same time, it relieves my stress. Maybe, it's meant to be that way.

Either way, I'm currently a big fan of Demi Lovato. Okok, I'm actually a fan of quite a lot of Disney stars. Hehehe.

Neural Networks, wth?

I'm delving into the world of artificial neural networks, one of the main tools to create artificial intelligence. I dunno why, but I'm fascinated by the math behind it, even though it's very hard to understand and all. So far, after like 5 to 6 tutorials on the net, I can only briefly understand how does the neural network works, but I still don't know how am I supposed to use it. Hmm... hopefully, I can learn everything by the end of this week.

Oh, and I have just started planning for the map editor. It won't be easy, but I'll try.

Maze system finished!

Ok, so now the First Person maze is finished
I don't know why, but I can get motion sickness from my maze. Maybe because I'm just to susceptible to it. So, right now, the player (who is the eyes and ears of Mr Ball) will be running around the dungeon and solving puzzles along the way. He won't be able to use his water gun in the maze for some reason, because of that, there won't be monsters, but there will be things that can hurt Mr Ball in the maze. And dying in the maze will be a straight game over, even if you have a lot of lives. Mr Ball can't really die yet in the maze.

Currently, I'm starting a "side" project. It's a Map Editor for the mazes, supposed to be fully customizable to incorporate whatever in the game that can be edited through the map editor.

Well, it'll take me a week to finish the map editor.

Whole day of fun and entertainment

I had a party yesterday in my house. A "Left 4 Dead + Resident Evil 4 + Fatal Frame 3" party! Yea, I invited Hong Sheng, Gavin, Jeffrey Teh, Shan Min and Jun Ray to come to my house. Sadly, Gavin couldn't come.

Well, anyway, we all had fun, and ate pizza for tea! Haha. The Pizza Hut jingle is still stuck in my head. 1 3 hundred 8 8 2 5 2 5, pizza hut special delivery!

Later, I'm going to play Squash for the first time in my life, with Hon Son! Yeah! I have no idea to play it, but it's just hitting the ball to the wall and hoping it bounces to the correct place. Hmm.. can't wait!

Yeah, first boss finished!

Here's a demo of the full boss fight!!



Actually, the first time I tested this boss fight, he was too powerful. I died like 3 times! Lol! Some more, my computer lagged. So, it means, the game drew too many stuff. I must cut down a bit on the number of ice spikes. I mean come on, 2 GB of RAM and it still lags? It won't look good for those with very little RAM.


Now, let's talk about school!

Today, I went for my first ever debate competition, well, it's an interclass competition for English Week. I never knew debating was so much fun! Even though 4BR, my class, lost to 4C by only like 20 points, it's actually the experience that counts. I have to admit, I went for debate just to look for fun. Hey, who says arguing can never be fun? I want some more man! So, I suggested to David and Hon Son so we can like create a group, where we can debate among ourselves. Whee!!
