About the Picture:
This picture doesn't get much of a lesson because you've seen it before. Where have you seen it before? You've seen bits and pieces here and there. A modified talking Jav head, a modified Rave Kiddie model, a simple new skin, and animation that you can't see in the pic went into this. What is lesson 7? Copy and paste. Sometimes it's tougher to copy and paste than it is to redo, but those times are far and few between. Copy and Paste, learn how to copy and paste better, make programs that copy and paste as their only function, copy and paste these programs into another program and do this until your 40 GB hard drive is full of these programs. Then you will have a correct model of the entire universe.
My day off started at 5:30 PM. =P
Errrm, what was I saying about having it done in no time last night? It's now 11:30 PM and Page 1 is done. Page 2 ought to take an hour or two. I'll do some work on it. So what happened between Midnight last night and now? Well, I drank a mug of caffinated black tea and I was rearing to go. And that's what I did. I built models like a man possessed, copied, pasted, used simple methods, complex methods, messed with the exporter and finally got a bunch of stuff by 4 AM. But it still wasn't enough. Looking back, Page 1 could've been done at 2 AM last night if I had focused on what was important for Page 1. Simply put, the Rave Kiddies were not seen at all in Page 1. ;_; (/me cries real tears). Not to say that they are excessive, but... If I wanted to and was smart enough, I could've pleased the few people that were actually looking for Scene 2. But that just means that I am reaping the rewards of my hard work a little later. I don't mind that too much. Yes, you get to see the Rave Kiddies in Scene 2, Page 2. Hopefully, you'll see them all over scenes 5-24. Oops, I just gave away the ending, didn't I? Well, I guess telling you that there will be approximately 24 scenes doesn't quite make a person not want to come back.
I told you that I'd have page 2 quick! Hehehe. It's 1:35 AM Saturday night (technically Sunday) and page 2 is done! Check the previous post for good stuff. Page 2 was pretty easy, just a bit of talking. It gives a bit of background on the situation. I say stable anarchy loosely. To me, stable means that it's continuing on currently and isn't rapidly decaying. For example, automobile owners have an unstable value for their gas prices. The WTO has unstable existance thanks to the protestors of Nov. 30, 1999 (w00t!). Citizens of the United States have unstable freedom due to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack. People who aren't enraged by the last one have an stable level of deniability.
Hmmm I guess I should explain JF in the context of our rapidly decaying Bill of Rights. First off, public defamation on the internet is a huge violation of First Amendment rights. If I were to say that Mayor of Seattle, Paul Schnell was a facist (which is true), he could sue me for the non-existent cash I have. He could take my non-existent car, non-existent house, and non-existent job away from me. Ya, well facist is the least that pos can be called. But his actions during the WTO as well as a dozen other events since I've been here in Seattle (two years since moving from Spokane, WA, USA) have been so destructive to the Constitution that he has zero right to be called a citizen of the US let alone a representative. I'd say if he were in JF's LA 2014, he'd get a hundred years of work at the local agridome (community food distribution plant). Or worse, he'd be sent back to his totalitarian UN-controlled LA. But I don't think Paul Schnell will last as mayor to 2003, let alone 2014, thank goodness.
