Announcements: Art I still owe people, upcoming projects
13 years ago
General
Ok, two announcements:
1) Debts drive me crazy, especially ones I put off to the side and forget about. I know there are a few people out there that I owe art. I know I owe Teufel art. If I get some time this weekend I am going to rectify this, get it done, bring it to the next meet and then everything will be on the even for me.
2) I have a final project coming up for my Visual Basic class. There are a couple of ways I can go about this.
a) Design a game of some sort
b) Design a program for a mock company
c) Design a miscellaneous program (something along the lines of engineering and mathematics) that would be used to do research (it could possibly even tie into my undergrad research [pending I get it].)
If I did one of the first two, I would probably find some way to incorporate other people into them. I have a few ideas hashed out lightly already.
1) If I design a game it would probably be a platformer or a logic game. I was thinking of maybe writing a musical track of two for it. If I do decide to go this route, I want to commission themes for friends. I have written songs in the past, just not on a huge scale back when I was considering a music major. One or two people could have a song made for them as a gift and included in this final project. As far as a story goes, I actually have a couple rough drafts of ideas I've kept stored too over the years.
2) If I design a program for a mock company, it might be web-based along the lines of ASP.net. As it would be a web site with a database, I might try to make it like it was for a fursuit-building company. Maybe I could film a few people in suit and would give credit in the acknowledgements for the site.
3) For miscellaneous programs I really don't have too many ideas yet, just scientific stuff like measuring intelligence. I remember reading about psychological programs like the one that was created at MIT in the 1960's. It was sort of a reflective therapy. A patient would type in something like:
"I have issues dealing with large groups of people."
The program would then find a way to form a question to probe the issue further by reaaranging the sentence into a question:
"What issues do you specifically have dealing with large groups of people?"
Granted back then AI was only imagination, but the program worked well from what I understand.
Anyways, I have my ideas, but I wanted some outside input. Anyone have any advice?
