Something to Play With...

Put cool games/gadgets that you made on your own in this thread... I recently found the above - I wrote it over two years ago - so I removed the dust, made it work for Firefox and now it's ready for use... as the name suggests it let you draw on the screen, using only client side code.
more details would come further on, you're welcome to play around with the page and post here cool things you've
made yourself.

I made something, hit save, put in an overwrite password, but now I cannot view it? Was I supposed to make a screenshot? or is it stored on your server. There is not image download function.

Cool program though - good call on the overwrite protection password!

the image is being saved on the server for now... load is available but not yet public - don't remember the original reason though. just hit "shadow" in the keyboard and the load button will appear. note that you will be able to view any image by anyone - the password is only for overwriting the image i.e. anyone can view any image but not change it. glad you like it, I'm working on the next step that would be adding color... each line or circle would be available in more than one color. and the final step is indeed storing the whole thing as image although it may get complicated.

edit: load is done in pop up window, you'll have to allow the pop up...

I made a cat! What did you use to create this app? Pretty cool - i bet it too a while to work out the kinks! very nice though!

lol nice cat... as you can see it's all made in javascript. ASP is used only to save the data. yeah, it wasn't easy or short I did it long time ago when I still had time. can't rememer why though...
so, what about you medianox? what did you do with your free time to experiment with code?

Free time? Oh geez... well back when I was doing alot of C++, I wrote a program that generated poems. You would input 2 themes (two nouns) and it would build a poem (lines of your choosing) based upon those two themes. At the time, my buddies and I decided to juice it up and expand the textfiles of words it could draw from.

We finally got it to the point where we generated a poem to turn into an English class. It got honest critique from the teacher, who said - "I like this new direction you are moving into - explore it more". We had a laugh and I won a Michigan Prize Programs award for it. Lets see - that was like 6 years ago... what have I done in the meantime. I write alot of custom Content Management Applications. I do a bit of osCommerce customization, too. Right now I'm heavy into adserving software. I've got a company starting up soon (gotta finish the code) you can check it out here:
ManagedAds.com.

I don't really have anything fun, most of my work has been busienss related :/

that's quite impressing - so you're doing all the programming stuff in MA? cool.
I once did code (web page) that generates random image using pixels in different colors, but I fear it has been lost when my computer crashed. I will try to find it...

Yeah - I did alot of the design, too. I used to do graphic design and st*ff prior to PHP and st*ff. It makes stickign to a templating system an exercise like playing chess against yourself. Goodthin smarty is my friend. Are there any templating engines for ASP?

I don't work with templates very much so I don't know of any such engines. but as far as I've seen here and in other places, PHP beats ASP to the dust when it comes to templates.

Yeah - when I was doing ASP at my last job we had all the damn Vbscript intermingled with all the damn HTML.... looking back it was really frustrating.... I live by smarty templates now
