The Cinematography of "The Incredibles" Part 2
See Part 1 here.Continuing with my case study of the shot compositions from Pixar's film "The Incredibles". All images used here are ©Disney/Pixar (unless otherwise stated). Composition in film includes many different aspects; color, shape, line, contrast, positioning, cropping, viewpoint, rhythm, perspective, proportion, geometry, and many more. The dinner table sequence is a nice one that showcases how well you can move the camera around depending on which character(s) you want to make as the focus of the shot. With 5 characters all facing inwards, turning their heads left an right according to which other person they are talking to, you create scenario that can have a million different ways you can shoot this scene from. A 2 shot. Warm colors, warm lighting, all conveying a comfortable family environment. Characters are never blending into the background too much, color tones and shape (silhouettes) are always clear to make the image fast and easy to read. Rule of Thirds is everywhere.

On the 30th July 2014 the site got updated, restrutured and redesigned… however the update is still not finished and thus this new Indie Resources overview page is partly incomplete. In case you are missing something you can still check out the outdated old Indie Resources page until the update is complete. Thank you for your understanding.

So Here Are My Ideas
Edge Scrolling
Edge scrolling is used in many of the real time strategy games where the layout is usually big. This is a feature in which the user can scroll through the layout with very little effort, just by moving the mouse cursor to the edges of the viewport. This feature can be reproduce in Construct 2 by making use of the mouse object, a few system expressions and optionally a global variable to customize the scrolling speed. You can see a demo of the edge scrolling here.You may download the Construct 2 project file here. Basic edge scrolling To begin with, the mouse object should be added to the project using the insert new object dialog. and the Mouse expressionsMouse.AbsoluteX, Mouse.AbsoluteY will be used. And the following set of events is all that is needed to have a basic edge scrolling feature: Note: If the outcome of the above events looks obvious to you, you may want to skip and move on to the next page to see how this can be further optimized. Similarly for the other 3 sides it would be:

Random Dungeon Generator
A Brief History I began working on my dungeon generator sometime around 1999. It was originally hosted on the demonweb (my personal home page), moved to the Dire Press website in May 2006, and then to the donjon website in Sept 2009. How it Works A dungeon is constructed on a grid, with columns and rows numbered starting with 0. In code, the dungeon is represented by a two-dimensional matrix of integers. Rooms Of the several room layout options, scattered is the simplest. Placing Rooms The relationship beteen room, perimeter, and entrance. To place a room, the generator randomly determines dimensions and location. Next, the generator calculates a reasonable number of entrances based on the room size, then attempts to place that number of entrances in the room boundary. Other Layouts The sparse layout is similar to the scattered layout, but attempts to place a much smaller number of rooms. The complex layout is, obviously, the most complex.

On Screen Touch Controls For Button Games
If your a newbie to C2 then this will probably be a hard task for you until you read around or post a thread asking about it. How To Do It:Basically what you have to do is use the press of something to simulate control of an object. To do this you can maybe add arrows keys on the screen of your game then add a touch event for "is touch" to the image file. If you don't like arrow keys you can create see through png files position it on the screen then simulate a control when it is pressed. In the picture below i have created two see through png files in Photoshop. Here is the event sheet for it:
Mars Colony Online Simulation
Mars Colony is first most a simulation, secondly entertainment, and thirdly bound by the laws of the game engine, 3D rendering technology and the capabilities of the designer and artist. As such, there have been a lot of interesting discussions lately around artwork. Namely the juxtaposition of object artwork in a imaginary facility on Mars, that closely tracks the mechanical requirements of the simulation, and meets the bar of quality and realism set by the game’s designer. As such, then objects that are interacted with, must meet certain criteria – but especially the nebulous “It must look right.” Fortunately there is public information on visionary ideas of what colonization of a planet like Mars might be, but a strong lack of DETAIL. Beyond DETAIL, there are the mid-ground elements, like duct work, clutter and graphics on the habitation unit panels. Then comes the background. To that end, we know, somewhat what the surface of Mars looks like.
Velo Towers Design Project (+ VIDEO)
An unusual Velo Towers design project by Asymptote Architecture promises to become a significant architectural landmark of Yongsan Park, South Korea. The structure is composed of dynamic arrangement of stacked and rotated volumes from formal to conventional extrusion of mass. Velo Towers feature unconventional design due to skilful fusion of the typical tower architecture into horizontal and vertical configuration.
