  • Facebook connecting Android App

    Well since Random coding didn’t happen, I decided to move to another hobby project which was creating an Android activity that would connect to Facebook, get me an identity so that I could use it to handle Authentication for Conflicademia. I don’t personally care about managing accounts and I was thinking of some other distraction…

  • Random Coding 3 didn’t happen… yet!

    Well, I was diligently playing with Nuget packaging and hoping to make a video where I create a Nuget package that hosts the VSIX that I created in random coding two. However, it seems as though Nuget doesn’t support installing a VSIX, item templates or project templates. I then sat back and thought “Unpossibleh!!!” I’m…

  • OAuth hath defeated me

    Well to set the story straight, OAuth in conjunction with WebAPI. I’m trying to build the backend services for Conflicademia now and I figured that it’d be a great time to learn OAuth, Asp.Net Mvc Web API, Mongo and all that integration with Mono and Unity. Building a basic Asp.Mvc site with Facebook OAuth integration…

  • I’m still alive!

    Well, there have been some big changes in my career recently and so the game as well as the coding YouTube videos have been put on hold. Things are finally starting to settle down and I’ll be able to put some weekend time again on these and hopefully the one or two web crawlers that…

  • Confuzzled…

    So I was preparing materials for my “Random Coding 3” video episode and this time the subject was relating to Conflicademia in regards to the loading performance of Android and how to optimize your build in Unity so that the game has reasonable loading performance. However, as I was prepping my material and generating the relevant…

  • Tutorial level is almost complete!

    Oh man, I’m so sleepy it almost hurts. Every heart beat seems to be jolting my chest. Regardless, I really wanted to make some serious progress on the game tonight. The tutorial level is mostly complete, the left over tasks for the tutorial is to show how to transform, show a visual progress indicator of…

  • Finally fixed the web build

    So after I suppose a month or so of the “New Game” button not working, I finally fixed it so that the web player is functioning again. Apparently the automated build script doesn’t suck the scene information from the Unity IDE build screen and I totally forgot about the string array in the wonky command…

  • Unity script .meta files

    First of, a little announcement – not only is this my first post on Ninjacrab but it is also my first ever blog post. Cue fanfare and digital equivalent of confetti (twitter posts?). Will try to keep posting here as we progress on the project, mostly for the externalization of memory as my internal memory…

  • Honey bunches of Changes!

    So I made a bunch of changes tonight. Optimized a bunch of things here and there, fixed a number of bugs but the most exciting change is finally building some logic to extend past just one level. Intelligently moving from one scene to another, I definitely side skirted some aesthetics, but I was definitely in…

  • Unity is not subversion friendly

    File location refactoring isn’t actually handled from the Unity IDE for some bizarre reason I performed it in there. I do realize that Unity auto generates the project and solution files from the actual file systems, so I could have actually moved them in Visual studio instead which actually would tell Subversion that the file…
