Gog Game Website

Gog is a video game retailer website that sells classic pc games for an affordable price. Although they do sell classic games there is something unique about this website and that is when they give games away for free. Sometimes the games they give away are simple RPG’s (Role Playing Games) from around the past era much like Ultima VI or Dragonsphere. But sometimes, once in a blue moon you can get the old Fallout series for free. That’s right, a couple of weeks prior to this recording they had the classic Fallout series going for free. The reason it was being given away for free was because of the expiration of Interplay’s rights to the fallout series. Sometimes expiration can be a good thing.

Programming with Python- def tags

Today we are going to be covering one of my favorite tags in python, the def tag. The best way to think of this tag is being able to give a single word a defined function. Unlike giving a variable a meaning, defining a word as a function gives you the option of giving two set variables equations. This may seem confusing at first, but let’s look at the code and see if I can explain it better.

Programming with Python- If's Elif's Else's

In todays video we go over the basic principle of the If, elif, and else function in python. The best way to explain this in summary is to say that if one action happens, then this action happens. Elif (Or else that doesn’t end.) this action will happen; else (which is the ending statement) this action happens. Every if has to have an else. With out else the function will not work properly. There is no easy way to explain all this in code unless I show you what it means in code. For example:

Programming with Python: Strings and Functions cont

In today’s video, we are going to be going over strings and variable again, just to make sure that you have the general idea down. I would like to remind those who watch these videos to type as I type and not to copy and paste everything in the videos. I am not a professional, but I find it easy to learn with a more hands on experience rather than a you see what you get. I would also like to remind you that if you have any further interest in learning python ahead of the videos, then please go check this great online book so that you can read ahead. That book again, is called Learning python the hard way: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ Thanks for watching this series, and I hope you found it helpful in some kind of way.  

Photoshop Tutorial: Animating

Now it has been a while since I last did a tutorial video for Photoshop, and today I come back with something a bit more useful when it comes to making an animated logo. In the video I demonstrate how to animate using a sprite sheet, but the concept is quite simple to understand altogether. All you have to do is animate frame-by-frame, or in this case layer by layer. There isn’t a whole lot I can really show you through this article that I did in the video. But I will try my best to recapture this moment for you in text form for those who don’t like watching an eight minute video. So without further distractions, let’s get started.
