Links

No real blog update at this moment, but I wanted to bring your attention to a new section to the right of the blog. I've added a spot reserved for links to other sites that are of interest to me. The first is a link to My Media House, a site that's just getting revved up. Right now there's a nice batch of FREE stock files including a few photos and Flash files. Expect this site to grow in content in the near future! I plan to be contributing to this site often.

Also added is a link to Oxygen Education, my current place of employment. For those interested in how Flash is applicable to an educational setting, take a look! Or take a look if you just like really nifty-looking interactive programs based in Flash.

Well that's it for the moment!

Wahoolazuma!

Big version here.

I'd heavily recommend downloading the .swf and running it from your local machine, but through a web browser is fine, too.

First off, let me say this game was inspired by Larry Marder's Beanworld. If you've not checked it out, it's definitely a fun read! Equal parts quirk, wonderment, and charm, it makes a great gift for just about anybody!

In Beanworld, the behaviors and lifestyle of the native beans are explored. Though it seems to be a pretty contained system that makes some sense, the nature of the beans is a simple one, often left to the imagination. In other words, a wonderful source of inspiration for fun little mini-games!

In case you're wondering the story behind the above game...well...go read Beanworld yourself!

By the way, this is a simple, rough version. If I were to create a game for anything other than my own personal learning experience, there are a few things I'd change. Any suggestions? I just might touch something up if you demand it!

EDIT: So it seems you can't score any points UNTIL you get a multiplier. I'll fix that up...soonish.
