I Can Has Cheezburger!

I decided to become part of the craze that is I Can has Cheezburger. They have a wonderful little tool, called lolcat builder. It allows you to be able able to select a picture (either a stock photo, or one you upload), then you can write anything on the picture. If you have a picture of an animal that is appropriate, then you can share the picture with everyone, and depending on how many lolz (laughs) people get, they can rate your image, and if it gets to be famous, it might go on their front page.

This one’s mine.

This one too 

Jury Duty Scam

There has been an increasing number of these occurances popping up, so I figured that I could take the time out to warn everyone. There is a group of people calling around. When the victim answers the phone, the people say that there is a warrant for your arrest for missing a court date. Naturally, the victim will say something along the lines of “Well, I didn’t get any notice saying I have to go on jury duty.” The person who called will then ask for some personal information (such as home address, birthday, social security number, or credit card number), and will then get off the phone with all of that information. This is a scam to get your personal information. Do not give into them, no matter how convincing they seem to be. If you don’t believe me, here is the link to the FBI’s article on the matter: http://www.fbi.gov/page2/june06/jury_scams060206.htm

Dynamic Radio (RPDR)

I don’t like posting things until I get at least halfway done, but I cannot help myself to post it. This is my most challenging (and largest) project I have attempted, and things are going really smooth (knock on wood). I have dubbed this project as “RPDR”(Richard Perkins’ Dynamic Radio).

“Okay, so what is this ’Dyanmic radio’ thing?” Well, it is a highly complex feature that I am using as the centerpeice for an
unnamed game. The game is slowly being built around it. Here’s a list of some of the current features, and a brief description.

Random Song Selection
Each radio station play songs at random, without being too random. By this, I
mean that there will be 4 last variables (last1, last2, …) that will record the last song and will record the song number, and it
will make the random song generator select another song if it chooses any numbers stored in the last variables. This will allow
the station to be random, without being too random.

Cause/Effect Functionality
Some radio stations (such as NEWS-FM) will change their functionality to suit the events going on in the game. So, if you
go on a rampage, killing off anyone and everyone, they will begin to stop talking about the normal stuff, and they will begin to
talk about you. There’s just one turndown to this one: way too many variables for me to mess with. I’m recording them all into a notebook, but there are a lot of them.

Weather Forcasts
Some stations will talk about the weather. The weather for each reigon will be stored in a “weather variable” and the forcasters can tell you the weather will be, based on a futureweather variable. This feature is one of the last functions designed to be part of the dynamic radio.

Addition of Songs
New songs will come out as time passes in the game, to add to the realism.

Infinity is Only a Theory (The Reasoning)

I’ve been asked countless times how “infinity is only a theory”. Well, it really is only a theory, because theoretically there is no end to the number system. Infinity cannot be proven, only disproven (by reaching the end), therefore it remains a theory.

That’s really all I have to say about that.

<nonsense>

They say that there are an infinite amount of parallel universes. For each universe, different events happen (for instance, in
one parallel universe, JFK wasn’t killed. In another, Hitler never led the Holocaust and became a very successful leader). Well, it is easy to see how there could be an infinite amount of parallel universes, but you would think that it would eventually stop somewhere. If we could compile a rather large list of all of these universes, we could  easily disprove infinity, unless we
never reach the end.

Basic HTML Tags

Here is a small list of the most used HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) tags. To use the tags, replace the stuff
in blue with anything and replace everything in red with a url. This should be enough to get you all started in coding in HTML.

New Tutorials!

All of my new tutorials can be found here: bgetutorials.wordpress.com

I have a GameGuide and some odd tutorials to go along with it. I will also be uploading some textures, sounds, music, python scripts, and .blend files! Be sure to comment and tell me how they’re working for you. Also, I will take requests. Email your requests and whatnot to: bgetutorials [at] live.com (replace the [at] with @, and take away all of the spaces)

GameBlender Tutorial #1 – Basic Character/Camera Movement

Hello and welcome to my first GameBlender tutorial. In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of game creation: moving your character around while having the camera follow behind. Do not pay attention to the graphics, as I am not showing how to make the graphics of a game, just merely showing you the basic concept.

GameBlender Tutorials

 

Yes. I have began to look into the GameBlender world, and I am thoroughly impressed. Blender has had this game engine built into it for a long while now, and it is only until now that I begin to look into it. I have learned much within this past week, and I plan on sharing the wealth of knowledge that I have obtained during that time. I have a total of 3 tutorials I am working on currently.

Hello world!

Hello everyone! I am Richard Perkins. A little about myself: I am 18, in college to become a computer engineer. Some of my personal hobbies include writing, drawing, 3-Dimensional modeling, programming, and a little web design. I also make motion picture special effects and I compose music mainly of the classical, ambient, and dance genres.

It’s almost here, are you ready?

The quantum computer had already been made for years now by IBM, and other companies. The main difference was that those quantum computers could only do one or two functions (such as solving a sudoku puzzle). This quantum computer will be fully functional, meaning that you will be able to put almost any problem into the computer and it will solve it.

Now, you may be still asking yourself, “What in the world are you talking about?!” Well, instead of trying to explain things, I’ll give you some links: Defining Quantum Computers and Wiki-Quantum Computers
