Position:Fixed – Keeping it on the screen

by Brandon on Dec 10th in XHTML / CSS

A neat little tool you may see some websites using now-a-days is a menu, toolbar or possible a footer that always seems to stay with the page no matter how aggressively you scroll up and down.

by Brandon on Nov 9th in VB.NET

The usage of regular expressions can be a powerful thing. With it you can prevent invalid input into your applications and ultimately prevent system crashes or prevent security threats. In VB.NET, it is a fairly simple process which I will go over right now.

Avoid It

by Brandon on Sep 11th in Flash / ActionScript, My Projects

Another little simple game that I put together in about twenty minutes. Its based of an old truing game I made once for a high school programming class. I may improve upon it later since its more interesting the the Break It game.

Break It

by Brandon on Sep 11th in Flash / ActionScript, My Projects

First little game in flash I have put together. Its a simple little block breaker type game which I creatively named Break It. I know its a little glitchy still like when the ball hits the paddle on the sides it often gets sucked into the paddle for a few seconds before releasing.
Controls – Left [...]

Here is the beginning to a future plat former. O yes, its another stick-man! Ha ha, so right now all you can do is run around and jump. Amazing right? Not really but this will be the first little game I plan to push out.

gotoAndPlay with frame labels

by Brandon on Aug 31st in Flash / ActionScript


Just another fun movement file. The only thing new here is that I have finally figured how to use gotoAndPlay() correctly with frame labels and object animations. As you can see, the blob moves correctly (most of the time) through its animation set while you move left or right, [...]
