Would you like at that? It's April already! Time flies when you're having fun.
Quick head up to tell you guys I finished another episode of Fax-Me. This time it goes through the joy of burying mines and blowing your legs off as you figure out where you put them. It sounds dark when I put it like that, but actually, it was a fairly popular game in the early nineties. Things were different, ok? Check it out, it's in the article section!

I just finished writing another FAX-ME page. This one will walk you through the creation of an Ant Run/Pipe Mania/Pipe Dream kind of game. It's fresh out of the oven. In FAX, it's so hot and fresh I didn't even take the time to proofread it. That's how hot and fresh it is. Check it out, it's in the article section. It features several cool ant facts too. Ta ta!

If anyone's interested, another short listing has been added to the article section: "color space conversions." It contains a handful or routines to convert RGB to HSL, HSV, CMYK and back, as well as a couple of routines to convert hexadecimal notations (in 6, 3, 2, or 1-character notation.) I'm currently writing another FAX-ME to program a Pipe Mania/Pipe Dream/Ant Run kind of game. I swear it'll be up before the end of the year. And I mean "This" year. Probably maybe.

I just reformatted the compression article and included a little trick to optimize PCX files. That aside, I've been very busy at work, crafting macros in VBA for Microsoft Excel and I was pondering my orb in regard to VBA and how fun/desperate it would be to write about that. I mean, who would want to learn how to code Minesweeper in a spreadsheet? Or Battleship. Or Picross... Now that I think about it, there's plenty of other games that can fit in a spreadsheet. BRB, gotta work overtime. Oh, and a happy New Year too!
