November 1 update: Looks like it's been a month since I haven't updated this. I'm getting Photoshop&Flash CS4 on Tuesday (November 3), as well as AS3 Programming University. It's going to be awesome. After that, I'll resume working on my part, mainly because the effects and all the new functions will make a much better part.

I'll also be able to contribute the "Photoshop the ..." threads, which means... YEEEHAAAW!

October 1 update: Renamed all the symbols. Phew...

September 25 update (unrelated): School is going well for now, my class is a nice one, kinda boring but still good.

September 23 update (unrelated): Another "dammit". I looked up at the school's opening ceremony schedule again, and looks like 08:30 is the time we arrive at the school, and 09:00 is when the ceremony starts. My mom wants me to go 15 minutes earlier to "have more time meeting people", but... Anyway, apparently, at 09:00 we have to attend a dumb ceremony, which, before our national anthem, involves a little "celebration" of the first graders of the primary school while usually "Barbie Girl" plays in the background. I hope they found another song to play this year.

After that, we have a confrence from 09:40 to 10:40 usually involving the meeting with new teachers, then from 11:00 to 12:30, we all go to our classes and teachers come in our classes in a specific order to introduce what's going to be done the whole year. After that it's lunch time, from 12:30 to 13:30, which, last year, was a meatball and french fries sandwich which was really cool, I hope it will be the same this year. Then we finally leave.

I've been hearing rumors that classes aren't going to change from now on until we graduate from highschool. These rumors are probably due to some class types having only one class. (According to the Turkish education system, this includes social studies, Turkish&maths, science, and foreign languages. I chose Turkish&maths because I want to be a writer.) However, there are two classes in my type, so we might still get mixed up as the years progress, which, boy, is what I hope.

This post has basically become a diary for me... :)

September 23 update (unrelated): Dammit, I just went to school with a huge luggage of books in my hand, climbing up 3 storeys only to discover that they haven't hanged the lists yet. According to the principal, we'll only be able to see them tomorrow. Great. Apparently, I won't be able to sleep tonight because of the anxiety only knowing that I won't be able to find out who my classmates are until morning. Another thing that sucks is that it will be teachers who decide who will take which locker. Hell, I don't want to just have one of the bottom lockers which will require me to bend down on the ground everytime someone above me uses their locker...

At least I was able to check out the classes. They are for 14-15 people just like last year, nothing's much different, only the tables and chairs have changed.

September 23 update (unrelated): My school starts tomorrow. However, according to the new cool system, the first day of school is different. We will have no lessons in the first day, instead, we will have a meeting at the confrence hall and teachers will introduce us what we are going to do and we will meet new teachers if there are any. Now I'm going to go to school hoping they have a list of classes hanged up on the bulletin board, so I will manage to know who my classmates are. Boy, they better be good ones. I will update this post to tell if I liked my class or not.

Tomorrow the school starts at 9:40 and is dismissed at 13:30, after tomorrow it will be from 08:30 to 15:45 as usual.

September 22 update: Changed the design of the flowers.

September 22 update: The frog now moves his eyes to the fly while catching it.

September 22 update: Happy Madness Day. Haven't updated this post for a while, but this doesn't mean I'm not working on it.

September 10 update (unrelated): Some of you might know about my 100q Video Game Quiz. It won't be a simple quiz, it has 100 questions about any video game from Super Mario to Batman: Arkham Asylum, divided into 4 sections. At the end of each section, you will get a rank depending on how many sections you completed, and your score. As you progress through sections, the number of possible answers and the difficulty will increase. Check out this post for more info.

September 3 update: Here's the latest screenshot.

August 24 update: The frog now opens his mouth while catching the fly, and closes it when he does so. I'll also make him turn his eyes to the fly while catching it.

Here, I uploaded a picture of me and Kral as my profile picture.

August 23 update: I'm back. Most of the trip sucked, to be honest. We were staying in a village, so there were thousands of mosquitos there, they bit my legs from 5 DIFFERENT PLACES, they are still itching. It had WiFi but we couldn't connect it. The shower had a dripping problem which we couldn't fix, and the floor wasn't much clean.

As for the pros, the sea was really wavy, it was so much fun. The people were nice to us. We got to meet two dogs; a kangal (national dog breed of Turkey) called "Rocky", a german shepherd called "Kral" (Turkish for "king"), and a chihuahua called "Pinky".

Rocky was so named because he was told to be really strong, a waiter told us that he had caught 2 thieves, and standed on them until the employees arrived. He also has the ability to break his restraints. However, Rocky was told to be treated very badly. They didn't feed him properly, and kicked him out of every place they didn't want him to be. We feeded him with meatballs and lots of other stuff while we were having dinner.

Kral was so named because he was a "royal" dog, and he was also very silent and calm, unlike other german shepherds. He sit in our balcony both nights, we don't know why, maybe because the lights were on, maybe because he liked us. My brother called him "my bodyguard", because he seemed to have followed my brother every place he went. We took a lot of pictures of him with us, I'll soon post one as my profile picture. Unlike Rocky, he was well feeded and well treated, we also feeded him ourselves just like Rocky.

Pinky had gotten her name from her pink collar. She is a waiter's dog and she is well treated, although she constantly got punished for some reason. Her punishment was to stand on top of a wardrobe, she couldn't jump off probably because she was afraid.

August 21 update: I'm going to a vacation for the weekend.

August 15 update (unrelated): Well, happy clock day. A day when every shitty clock submission can get passed with ease...

August 13 update: The frog blinks now.

August 11 update: I just found a dinosaur encyclopedia, a children's pop-up book actually, my uncle had bought it for me when I was a kid. I wasn't interested in dinosaurs back then, but even though it's a children's book, it's a great resource because it's simply written.

August 10 update: I'm back. After a fun vacation (and the only one, sadly), I'm ready to get back to flash work.

August 8 update: I have a confirmed return date now, it's either August 10 or 11. I'm having a pretty good vacation, but I'm also looking forward to go back to my own house, my own room, my own bed, and own computer. Doing flash work, surfing on the internet properly, playing Left 4 Dead...

Yeah, I forgot to say, I'm a big L4D player, add me if you want, my nickname is almost always "raiden".

August 7 update: I'm still on vacation, and so far it's pretty cool, looks like I underestimated it. I'm using a friend's Macbook to write this, and I must say it's confusing for an all-time Windows user like me. I'll still be looking for getting back in Flash work when I'm back.

Since up to only 9 collaborators can be co-authored for some reason, only top contributors will be credited in this collab (like all collabs). I'm doing my best to top contribute, but it's so much fun to do Flash work and I'm always glad to help.

August 4 update: The preloader is done, it's just away from a few finishing touches.

I'll be going on a vacation tomorrow, for approximately 10 days, I might still post stuff, but I won't be working. I'll update this post when I'm back.

August 3 update: chubbthehippo is almost done with the preloader animation, I'll start coding it as soon as he sends it to me.

July 30 update (unrelated): Some of you might know my movie WoW: Vecahot Proof. The grandma mentioned in that movie, my grandma, died last night. She had bumped her head a few months ago, so I guess her brain had some physical trauma. She was also too old, she lived 85 years I guess.

I was sad when I heard about her death, but she lived a long and a good life, and died without suffering. In the end, that's all that matters.

It was the first time ever that I actually heard about one of my relatives' death, so I'm not really used to it.

Let WoW: Vecahot Proofbe in memory of her.

Her funeral is tomorrow, apparently we have to go early in the morning.

July 28 update: Made the sun a bit brighter, and the first dinosaur now blinks while walking. Also, a new screenshot is posted.

July 27 update: Me and chubbthehippo are working on the preloader of the collab.

July 26 update: Turned the frog's eyes to white, and made the mountains a little bigger.

July 25 update: The frog won't be deleted, click this link to learn why.

July 25 update: Made the red grasses orange instead, and changed the mountain shading a bit.

July 24 update: It seems like frogs didn't exist at that time, so I might remove it and replace it with a crocodile or something like that.

I'm a part of Archon68's Universe Collab as I mentioned before, and I'm doing the Animals&Dinosaurs part.

In this post, I'll post things like what is left to improve on and how I'm doing. I'll also keep changing the screenshot as I improve the movie.

Right now I'm doing good. I feel I'm getting better at Flash every minute I make this movie. I got to know that everyone can draw some good things if they take their time.

Things left to improve on at the moment:
1- Some details of a meat eating dinosaur.
2- Grasses.
3- Mountains.
4- A herbivore dinosaur, I think I'll redesign it.

If you have ideas about what should be improved, feel free to post it here.

In other news, I finally got promoted to scout, and I bought CS: Source off Steam, but I'm doing terribly right now compared to all the other experienced players. :)
