Theme of Payon is one of my favourite songs in Ragnarok. It brings back such good memories of when I played RO with my friends (not as much as theme of Prontera though, since I spent hours and hours vending in Prontera and that song is like, more familiar to me than the windows XP startup sound).

MintJam, one of my favourite bands, did an awesome piano arrangement for Theme of Payon in their 2004 Ragnarok Online Arrange album. Awesome band + nice song = even nicer song.

Since this song is so good and is all in piano, I decided to transcribe it so I, as well as other people interested, would be able to play it on the piano.

Here’s link to the sheet:

And the mp3 (generated from my sheet, the original sounds way better):

I made some inserts for pen modding for those penspinners out there that are also Touhou fans. The sizes are for RSVP, but you can probably crop it a bit to fit other pens. Sorry for the lack of color on some of them — I made them with my printer’s ink in mind.

Thanks to the creators of these images, and also konachan.com for allowing me to find them easily.

We haven’t updated Fobcraft for like, half a year, so it was pretty much dead. Typingmania was down because of x10hosting’s policy of suspending accounts if they’re not accessed for 2 weeks…

However, I’ve been working on a game programmed in Java. It’s a defense game based on the Korean mmorpg Ragnarok Online, and inspired by Twilight Frontier’s Patchcon. I’ve actually been working on this project since two years ago, in the process taking months-long breaks and never got much done. But I’ve decided to finish soon. In fact, it’s already playable, just that there are many bugs to fix and things to add. The sprites and effects are made by Shuvora, and he’s lazy so a lot of stuff are missing sprites which I used an Alice sprite from Patchcon.

I uploaded the game on http://fobcraft.uuuq.com/rts/ Take a look if you’re interested (it’s an Applet, runs in your browser).

So I decided to resurrect Fobcraft as a place to keep track of my progress on the game.

In other news, Shuvora uploaded Typingmania on a new host:
http://gonorrhea.l4rge.com/Typingmania/index.html

I know, the address sounds pretty inappropriate, I laughed at it when he first told me… Please give him a lesson on how to make normal-sounding domain names…

Fixed some things on Clicky:
-Fixed inaccurate interval (it’s still around 10~30ms off right now though)
-Fixed preference saving

Recently I was playing some browser-based game, which required a lot of clicking on almost the same spot. So I decided to fight wrist diseases by making an autoclicker to lessen the stress on my hands.

I actually made the autoclicker a while back, probably when I was playing some other game where clicking became too boring. But yesterday I decided to make something useful for once and share it with people, so I gave Clicky an interface (kinda) and made it more user friendly (hopefully), and uploaded it for people to use.

For those of you that are interested, I used Purebasic to program this. If you use Purebasic and are interested I can upload the source code too.

Leave suggestions on features that I can add or bugs that I can fix. I would appreciate it, probably.

I changed the address of the FobCraft Typingmania game to http://www.fobcraft.elementfx.com/

Here’s a game we made for our programming class.

http://www.fobcraft.elementfx.com/transform

It’s a puzzle game, the goal is to get the grid to match the goal grid with the transformations.

This blog is like, almost dead…

To prevent it from dying, I’m gonna add a new songs to Typingmania, Rival by MintJam, and some time ago Shuvora also added Tsukihana from Jigoku Shoujo

New Songs:
Japanese:

Rival (short version) – MintJam
Tsukihana (TV size) – Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae

Nobody posted for quite a while ever since school started. Nothing new happened… Well, actually, a lot of new things happened, but they’re just not exciting enough to write about.

Well, aside from these unexciting new things. I hosted Typingmania, a typing game where it’s like karaoke, except you type the songs. With Shuvora’s help, we added some songs to it, mainly anime songs.

http://fobcraft.elementfx.com/ << The one i hosted on 10x hosting

http://gonorrhea.l4rge.com/Typingmania/index.html << the one Shuvora hosted somewhere. (Sorry about the address that sounds like a porn site, blame Shuvora for that)

I have included English instructions at the bottom of the page (The game is Japanese, although you don’t need to know Japanese to play, even the Japanese songs).

Leave comment if you wish to see a song added. If I like the song and can find the lyrics, I’ll add it.

Online summer course started! More sitting in front of my computer, yay.

Guess I didn’t mention that I took a law course online this summer, along with shuvora. Just yesterday, we went to an orientation teaching us how to do the course online, such as how to use their website and stuff.

Basically, our teacher posts the lessons and stuff on this website, we log into the website, read the boring stuff and answer questions. There’s also a discussion board where we discuss about stupid issues and stuff. You won’t believe it, but it’s actually fun reading what people write on the discussion board. There’s these two kids in my class that are very… passionate… about our course, and after a while, they started typing out page long essays on the discussion board about the Canadian justice system, with citations and all that (except some of the citations are actually wrong…). After a while, they started bringing on the internet slangs… I’ll look forward to seeing how things turn out later.

There’s also stuff like live chat with a drawing board that lags like crazy, and calculators on the front page. I was surprised that they put Wikipedia as a part of student resources, since teachers usually seem like they’re afraid that Wikipedia will take away their job, so they accused Wikipedia as a “not trusted” source of information.

An excerpt of our lesson 2 activity:

You and your friends set out exploring, became lost, and did not hear the train return. It pulled out without you. Your group decided to wait for the next day’s train by sheltering under the picnic tables. During the night a terrible storm occurred, washing out the trestle, and causing an enormous rock slide, blocking off the entire north end of the canyon. You are wet, cold, hungry, and entrapped. See what happens when you skip school?

“See what happens when you skip school?” – I lol’d at that.
