The Flying Dog Fish welcomes real and virtual visitors of all trademarks and species to his web exhibit at flyingdogfish.org. You can lean your spaceboard against the wall, you can park your spaceship around the corner, you can tie all your space-dwelling pets at the streetlamp, it doesn't really matter, they will surely wait for you while you take a look around.

This web exhibit provides space for its author to exhibit a small selection of his creations. These include photos taken with digital still cameras, 3D renderings, manipulated photos and other computer art, games and game related stuff, literary attempts and whatever other creations the author deems worthy of your attention. The selection of the exhibited creations is dynamic, it shall grow and shrink as the author reevalues their worthiness.

10 years of MultixII

Submitted by Marko on 25 February, 2009 - 00:28

MultixII: Revenge of the Squares has just celebrated it's 10th anniversary. I can hardly believe it's been ten years since the last version of one of my better games was made. Sometimes I miss those good old days of Turbo Pascal. Remarkably, this game still works with the help of DOSBox, not only in Windows, but also on Linux and Mac.

Hopefully it won't take another ten years for Multix3D: The Cube Continuum to come out. This project has started a couple of times already with several different technologies, first with DirectX and C++, and latest with Panda3D and Python, but unfortunately never got past a rotating camera and single falling cubes or a couple of unmoving cubes.

Thinking putty

I got some "Thinking Putty" for x-mas. Well, on the box it actually said "Misleči kit", but that's just some smart repacking in local language so it can be sold more expensively.

Anyway, I love this stuff. It bounces, it stretches, it tears, it shatters, it can glow in the dark, it can change color and it can attract magnets.

Another year is here

Submitted by Marko on 1 January, 2009 - 03:04

Happy New Year everyone!
But have you asked yourself what's so special about new year? Why is everyone celebrating it? What is everyone actually celebrating? The end of the previous year and the start of the next one you say? So why is this particular point in the Earth' path along the Sun so special? Because that's just what it is, an artificially decided, more or less fixed point in the Earth's orbit. It's impossible to decide where an ellipse starts.

Merry X-Mas

Submitted by Marko on 24 December, 2008 - 15:03

Yeah, it's that time of year again. Manic shoppers everywhere. Kitschy decorations everywhere. Red hats everywhere. Little lights on every house. Same old x-mas movies on tv again. Same old x-mas music everywhere.
Well, I hope at least your presents will be new .
Anyway, I wish a merry merry x-mas to everyone.

A Complete Redesign

Submitted by Marko on 10 December, 2008 - 22:35

It's finally here: the complete redesign of flyingdogfish.org using Drupal and Gallery2. The complex python scripts that generated php are gone now. This makes it possible for me to concentrate on the contents and forget about the details of implementation. It also allows me to more easily tweek the look of the site without influencing the contents.
