Hello Newgrounds!
I'm here to shamelessly plug my new project, Engauge once more!
Here's a screenshot of your faithful main hero, MainBot getting ready to punch a Hopper, along with several debug systems in my debug playground. If only you could hear the beautiful sound effects and tears that went into making this, I'm sure you too would Engauge your genitals.
You can follow us at our blog and at our twitter.
BTW, you will definitely get more posts on your blog if you don't make people sign in. I know you can get spam, but my wordpress blog came with an amazing spam blocker and it's never been a problem for me. I'm sure Blogger probably has something similar.
Anyway, here's what I was gonna post there:
Haha, this was great! Really, though, platforming can be one of the more difficult things to learn for a new programmer, so don't beat yourself up. It makes for comedic videos of robots jumping in mid air, but it isn't a space shooter - you actually have to figure out a bit of physics. I really had no idea what Sin Cos or Tan were really used for until I started programming, sooo....
But yeah, I feel your pain. I'm trying to move my game engine over to stage3D for mobile stuff, and learning about shaders and vertex buffers can make a guy feel like that BBT video. Especially when google refuses to give a good tutorial. I know there's Starling, but damn it, I want to be a real programmer! XD
Ohoho, a spirited one indeed! It should be noted that the programming post on our Blog was made by our chief designer who is not a programmer. That would be my job!

I already did that today. :3
The characters look cool but the background is so boring! Spice it up with some computer terminals or something. :D

Ah, we are working very hard in spicing up the aesthetics. And by us I mean Jason. Art is for nerds
