Bunny Ganondorf!



Oh no, Yukari has invaded Hyrule! Sorry, my Touhou addiction no longer allows me to see the word 'gap' without thinking of what tomfoolery Yukari would be getting into. There may (or may not) be several more Zelda-related flashes over the next month or two, as I've decided to go and play through almost the whole series this summer. Because I can. Woo! Never mind the thirty other games I *haven't* beat before staring at me from the bookcase...

Anyway, it's a bit weird, but I'm starting to get used to the apparant proper way to make flashes. and I can do more stuff! As you see here. There's still a few oddball things (like objects randomly repositioning themselves and I can't get them back into the exact same spot so it jumps slightly on frame advance, etc.) But I think I'll either be able to hammer them out or learn a workaround with a bit more practice.

Rawr, two more days until June and the unoffical start of summer. Wish me luck~ -_-;

So, I'm making this post before the actual Flash is done, despite the fact that there's only like 2 people who know about this site, haha. I updated the look with some basic changes here and there yesterday, blue is much nicer than white, yes?

Today's flash was in response to me beating Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, which is probably the last available Zelda game I beat (that I care about. Screw you FS, FSA and AoL) I beat everyone, I collected everything, I went back after the game was done to collect the extra items that have no actual purpose! You know, standard Zelda fare. And then I found out I missed the Light Arrows. -_- It's not like they'd be useful, since I rarely use the bow anyway, it's just that nagging feeling Zelda games give you where you need just one more item... Also, why is finding the last piece of Heart *always* a pain in the arse?

Anyway, pausing updates for a little bit until I resolve 2 issues about this blog. First, and more importantly, my sister wasn't able to see the flash on her computer, which is very odd. I checked downstairs and it wouldn't load either. The second issue was with today's Flash. The frame with the thowing of the GBASP doesn't loop. Well, not that it's supposed to, but I'd like it if it went back to the beginning of the animation when you went back to the frame, now it just plays once and sits there regardless if you go back or not. We'll see...

EDIT: I think I figured out the problem with it not showing up on other computers. Just for kicks, I logged out of my Google account and reloaded the page, and sure enough, the flash stopped working for me. Weird. Well, I guess this means I need to find another host for these things >__>;

EDIT2: I fixededed it! Found a new host and everything seems to be working well now. Also inadvertantly found a display issue with my blog in lolIE that I fixed for all the backwards people that still use it. :3

EDIT3: Hooray! I'm retarded! =D Anyway, it turns out that I'm essentially making the flash completely wrong for what I'm trying to do, ironically it works almost exactly the same anyway. I'm not gonna bother remaking this entire flash for just the one little bit, so I'll just start using the new format with the next flash. It might be several days since it's learning everything over almost from the beginning, but I'll be able to do more cool stuff in the end! =3

Hooray!



Stuff, hooray! I don't know how often this'll end up being updated, though I'd wager at least a few times a week. I suppose it's somewhat of a goal to be able to put up a silly flash like the above 5 times a week by the time I head off to college at the end of August, without agonizing over each one for like 8 hours, lol.

This was my first foray into the world of Flash, and it's fun! Not as difficult as I expected, but as you can see by my suckyness, I've got 2.83 metric tons left to learn. Well, no hurry I suppose, I'll gradually figure out how to do things as I decide I want to know how to do them, and the art will hopefully improve naturally with time, though don't hold your breath. XD


I suppose I can use this for other random things too, like videos I find on JewTube or photos! Hmmm...photos...where's that camera I used to have anyway?
