| My Top-Secret Project | | Posted by AquaDoctorBob on August 17, 2005 @ 9:13 PM EST | For the past few weeks, I've been programming things for the site, such as the Code Checker -- but only now can I tell you about the top-secret project I've been working on!
The AXA Texture system is being completely redesigned. No more need to download templates and fill in pixels with Microsoft Paint (apologies to TheLivingRobot). You'll soon be able to draw your textures online using a handy Javascript interface I wrote from scratch (except for the flood fill code). I'm very proud of it, as you can tell. :)
You'll be able to save your textures to the texture database for everyone to see. Browsing the list will be a breeze, allowing you to sort by author or title, or search the whole database.
Clicking on a texture in the list will bring you to the texture viewer, which dynamically renders your texture using the GD library. If you want to print your texture or are having a bit of trouble telling one color from the next, don't panic -- just click the printer icon to see your texture in grid form.
Some of us in the AXA IRC channel have known about this for a while, and we've been hard at work converting every texture from the old database to the new one--yes, by hand. There are a couple more features I'd like to add before I launch the system, but stay tuned.
I apologize for the long post, but I've been dying to blab about all this for quite a while now. Get ready for an interactive AXA! |
| Camp Hyrule Update | | Posted by Jess on August 17, 2005 @ 4:23 PM EST | For those of you wondering what's been going on at Camp Hyrule (at least, AC DS-wise) you haven't been missing very much. Thus far, the camp is pretty much centered around the forthcoming Zelda title and games like the soon-to-be-released Nintendogs. The only word on AC DS thus far has been in chat. NOA staff only confirmed that the game is planned for Q4 2005.
Well, there's still hopes that events later this week will feature some Animal Crossing tidbit. There are mysterious animal prints showing up all over the campsite, so cross your fingers and hope for more updates! |
| AC DS voice interactive? | | Posted by Jess on August 17, 2005 @ 1:22 PM EST | | Various sites and messageboards have been speculating about the presence of the headset/microphone icon with the ACDS listing in the German Nintendo Catalogue issued for the Games Convention. While this may simply mean that the game has features similar to Warioware (in which there were mini-games that utilized the microphone) others have wondered if Wi-Fi will allow them to chat with other users. If you have more information about the use of the microphone feature, email me at jess@megadoomer.com. Watch this space for more updates. |
| The Diary of a DS-Addicted Turtle | | Posted by Jess on August 16, 2005 @ 10:01 PM EST | | If I may direct you to the right hand column of the site you'll notice that one of our new features is now online. This is just a preview of Anjou's diary to tide you over until Animal Crossing comes out later in the year. Expect to hear more from her in the future. Until then, enjoy the sample! |

Translation from Turtlese: As of August 21st, Nintendo is dropping the price of the DS system to 129.99 USD. This is good news for those who have been saving up for the system, especially since local retailers may offer an additional discount on new and used systems. A pretty good deal if you can find a Walmart that still stocks the cobalt blue version packaged with Super Mario 64, no?
Turtle out! |
| Wi-Fi Guide Up | | Posted by Jess on August 16, 2005 @ 4:13 PM EST | | Well, Totey's been at it again and he's produced a Wi-Fi guide for all the AXAers who've been wondering how it's going to work. Check out the link in the DS section! |
| The Forums Return! | | Posted by Nickolis on August 15, 2005 @ 2:53 PM EST | After a horribly long downtime during which I was not always sitting at my computer working on the forums, but constantly thinking about it, the forums are fixed. I also took the time to update some of the code, hoping for faster and more secure forums.
If you aren't a member of our forums yet, just click on the top blue image on your right, and REGISTER! |
| Camp Hyrule Starts Today! | | Posted by Jess on August 15, 2005 @ 1:04 PM EST | Disappointed to find that the forums are down? Well, if you registered for Camp Hyrule 2005, come on down to the campgrounds and join the various AXAers participating in today's opening activities. For those of you who didn't sign up for camp this year--no worries! We'll be posting any Animal Crossing information that we find out.
Happy Camping! |
| New Totakeke MP3s Up! | | Posted by Mr.Cool on August 15, 2005 @ 3:48 AM EST | | As promised five new Totakeke MP3s are up on the MP3 page! In addition, the MP3s are now tagged to properly display the song information in your media player. Our bad for not having that taken care of on the first wave. |
| Forum Outage | | Posted by Nickolis on August 12, 2005 @ 12:08 PM EST | | The last few days the forums have been tossing out a lot of errors, but I hadn't yet pinpointed the problem. I believe I have now pinpointed the problem, but it will require the forums to be down for an extended time (Friday through part of Monday, I imagine.) This should allow me time to fix them without worry of corrupting the database further. |
