I really should update this more often than I do, but with school taking up most of my time its hard to even update my Facebook. I did want to show you a model I had to work on for class. I made a zombie bunker in Google Sketchup.
Google Sketchup is a great resource for making 3d models and simple 3D drafting. I have used it before for other project, including ones that eventually we made. It works based on drawing lines that connect to other line and so on. basically draw a floor plan and then you can just pull the floor plan up in to walls. I would suggest it to anyone that wants to give 3D drawing a try.
I have also been learning a lot of new things in Java. That class is really turning into something fun. Now I wont be writing anything real complex as of yet but very soon I will hold the power to create useful applications in java, and who knows one day I may create the next hit success like Minecraft. If you have not tried Minecraft yet i suggest you go out and purchase it right now, unless you like seeing real sunlight, then i suggest you ignore everything I am about to say. Minecraft has become and overnight success, and the game has not even left its alpha stage. The game starts you out on an island with nothing, no manual, no help, your alone that is till night falls. Suddenly zombies, skeletons, spiders, skeletons riding spiders and an exploding creature called a creeper and they are all out to kill you. Your goal before the end of the first day is to hole up somewhere safe before night falls. Then you mine, mine and mine some more all the while lighting your tunnels so the creatures from the surface don’t spawn from within. Eventually you will make a sword and some armor and kill these creatures, a few days down the road. The creatures on the surface will catch on fire in the morning and the day will be safe for you to go explore again. Now this may not seem all that fun, but the real fun comes when you start to build you empire block by pixelated block. Nothing feels quite as good as looking down from the castle you built and sniping the roaming zombies with you hand crafted bow and arrows.
