Overview
I wanted to keep track of all the websites, artist blogs, articles, etc. that I frequent, but creating bookmarks tend to just fill up and collect space and digital dust as they are forgotten... Also, most of the current online bookmarking systems I find visually unappealing. So i created a wall that would be dynamically populated from a XML file of sites. The spacing is set/stretched dynamically and the colors can be set, gradient filled, or left as random. Now I can load just this 1 (one) page from anywhere and rollover the colors/shades to see the links and info and click to go to that website.
I was assigned to design and create a quiz game for the show The Big Bang Theory. Screenshots of the characters and the show logo were available to me, but the rest (textures, functionality, animation, etc) was created from scratch. The questions were to be loaded in through xml, so that they could be added in later by a Copy Writer (place-holder text is shown in this presentation).
The game was created in Flash AS3. Animations were mainly done in code, instead of timeline animations, to reduce layer complication and file size.
The quiz gameplay is setup so that the Player is prompted a reasonably hard question. The player can recieve help from the main cast members by clicking on which character they think knows the answer (i.e. Sheldon would know more questions regarding String Theory). The score is tabulated by many factors: speed of answering, how much help the Player used, choosing incorrect answers, etc.
