Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 37)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos is a bit old school, with a bunch of faces (or hands) we've all come to know and love.

• The first video in this volume is "Doodle Music" from viheart.
• Next, we get to discover what happens if you give Felicia Day a chainsaw. (You knew the answer was awesomeness, right?) Also maybe that it's best to stand well back when she sees baby animals.
• Next, John Green pretends to be Charlie McDonnell while getting things done (like signing a contract for the TFiOS movie).
• Next, Ze Frank (and I hope you didn't think that one wall to wall volume of him was all we were going to get) puts up a new video about a new song.
• And, finally Watsky raps "Energy". 

Project 4: Snake Version 0.3.1 - now with a little less crashing.

Version 0.3.1 of the snake game fixes a problem where pressing the 't' key to give yourself points before the game starts caused the game to crash. All the cheat keys (and the control swap key) now only work while the game is playing.

All the other features introduced in version 0.3.0 remain unchanged.

You can download it here:

Project 4: Snake Version 0.3.0 (Almost Undetectably New!)

The Snake game has still been holding my attention, so I've put together the newest update. This new version however is primarily changes to the design and organization of the game.

Does this mean you won't be able to tell the difference from version 0.2.0? Not entirely. The new structure has made it easier for me to switch things in and out and make things a little easier.

The biggest change is that now the controls are modelled after those implemented in Nibbles. This means that when you're heading in any direction you can now only turn to the side rather than back on yourself. However if you liked the original controls, all you have to do is press 'k' to switch between the two controls.

Furthermore if you want to make things easier or harder on yourself there are some cheats available:

• Press 't' to add a point to your score, this moves the target and is just like you hit the target on your own.
• Press 'y' to add a level. This levels you up, speeding up the game.
• Press 'u' to turn off collisions, so you can go on forever without worrying about running into yourself. Press 'u' again to turn them back on again.

That's pretty much the update for this time. Lots of changes that mean more to me than you, but it should make it a lot easier to do the things I'm thinking for the future. Speaking of which Version 0.4.0 will be along in a little while and should bring a GUI and different kinds of worlds to play.

But for now you can download Version 0.3.0 below:

Edit: See the Patched Version 0.3.1

• The Windows Versions (32-bit, and 64-bit)
• The Mac OS X Version Edit: There seems to be a problem with the Mac OS X app. I will investigate as soon as I can.
• The Linux Versions (32-bit and 64-bit)

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 36) - ZeFrank Special

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos is a bit special, first of all it marks the point in time where ZeFrank had just started doing a show. This is special in and of itself, and caused me to have several of his videos in my favourites in a row, but somehow I managed not to favourite "An Invocation for Beginnings" which is possibly my favourite ZeFrank video of all time. So I decided to slip that one in and add in one extra to give us a totally ZeFrank focused volume.

I'm going to let each of these stand alone.

• "An Invocation for Beginnings"
• "Thinks Like Me"
• "Make. Beleive."
• "TMMTO :: Comfort"
• "2601 People Wrote This Song"
