Cool, I got FTP to work and got rid of that annoyning file that I couldn't previously delete.

October, 15th 2000
I've created one hell of a menu object. All of my own work:- the CMenu object, located in the Flik Spherescript library. See the misc section on the info page for details of using it. Syntax:- var menu = new CMenu(x,y,w,h,windowed); Man I'm pleased with this. :) I thought of it to help May-chan though. Maybe I'll add a dragable menu via the mouse. But for that "windowed" would have to be true. =)

I got a screenshot from Khadgar, check it out, :)

October, 14th 2000
Updated 1st tutorial, with Part Six, A. And I renamed the 3rd tutorial to the 2nd, and I'm now going to start a 3rd. Confused? I'm sorry.

October, 14th 2000
Whooa, late night/morning... New screenshot though, check it out.

October, 13th 2000
Btw, drunk on ideals. ;)

October, 12th 2000
Hi, just letting you know that there will be no update torromow. I'm going into town to buy lots of neat stuff and get real drunk, ;P And I wish not to update on Friday the 13th, but hey I'll try and update torromow but send me stuff meanwhile. Btw, Aegis had the idea of having pictures of the sphere community on my webpage, although if you can send anime art, that would be better. So pictures of yourself == no, but drawings == yes.

October, 11th 2000
Tee hee, May-chan has made a pretty good looking demo. Hey, it got my vote for an award. Hey and I updated my SphereScript library file, which should help people do many things. Check my info, misc section, page for details. Oh and you'll have to copy and paste the functions you want to use into your script file as... Aegis' Link(scriptname) function doesn't seem to work, but that should be sorted by the next release of sphere. I'm gonna upload a zip format of sphere for the next release as Aegis puts it in tar.bz2 format which some people find difficult to unzip. Now all we need is a website that offers sphere in rar format. ^_^

October, 10th 2000
I've been playing around with making a counter, e.g. the server side include TOTAL_HITS variable. :) I hope it works, but I don't care if it doesn't because I can tell nobody every visits my site by the amount of e-mails I get about it. 0 not including Aegis. So its kinda lame. e-mail me if you want a specific tutorial written. Hey, that's why I'm here, here to help.

October, 9th 2000
On the files page I've got an updated 1st tutorial which now goes onto part five which covers layers and making a simple menu. I've actually uploaded the game that it is actually making, although Aegis uses it as a test subject so it might be weird in places. ^_* That game being legend-of-now if you weren't paying attention. :)

October, 8th 2000
Whooa, being online for that much is bound to be bad for your health. Oh well, I uploaded sphere version 0.85 It's not the very latest version of sphere, becuase I messed up. Sorry. But for those of you who can't get your head round tarball files, this zip is perfect.

October, 6th 2000
I did some general cleaning up of my directory on redrival, who knows, that might of made the whole server faster. Anyhow, it wouldn't let me delete one of my files, but no matter. Yeah, I updated the 1st tutorial so it's kind of in date.

October, 1st 2000
I had to do 8 hours work today with a really big hangover. So you'll be able to forgive me when I say that the only update is about one line long. Btw, more sphere community members, ^_~

September, 28th 2000
I've been experimenting with a new webpage design. Yes, I know that not like what I normally do. I normally change it all at once suddendly. But I want to get a small search database going. So that'll take some time. Btw, more sphere community members. ^_^

September, 20th 2000
I've been making a Pacman game for sphere. It needs one or two things that Aegis is making now-ish. So by the next release of sphere, Pacman will be available for download. But I've actually updated as in... Fenix is on the members list, Fenix's games' Pong and Clockwork Fantasy have been added to the games list. I'll also add Pacman there, when it's available, but till then, have a look at the non-fully functional version of pacman on the images page. But you may have noticed that I've integrated images or the sphere artwork gallery into the overall design of this website. Therefore, I need help to make it a worthy visit so every so-often, say if you update something in your game or make a new game prototype send me a new picture of it.

September, 19th 2000
I've make some basic cometic changes to the site. But I haven't had many pictures of people wanting to have their face online for all to see. I wonder why? Anyway, I think it's better not to know, what people online look like. That way you can just base the image of them, that is in your head, on what they act like. I won't write much here today. But only because my cat is annoyning me, sorry.

September, 18th 2000
I uploaded a cool little bmp to rfn (the sphere font format) from Nilton Castillo. Thanks. It's on the files page. Also, Aegis gave me the idea of having pictures of the people in the sphere community on my website. If you think that's a good idea, and you've got a update to date picture of yourself. Send it to me...

September, 17th 2000
I've added Fenix's website to my links page; I should of added it a while back but I must of forgotten. Sorry. But check out Fenix's pong game for sphere. I played it against myself and won, good for me...

September, 15th 2000
I fixed a couple of mistakes in the 3rd tutorial, that you'll find on the files page.

September, 15th 2000
I said to AK, that I'd make some tutorials for sphere. I kind of made one. SphereScript, is the hardest thing for newbies to sphere to understand. So I did that. Remember though, input from you will help me make better tutorials. Look in files / tutorials / 3rd tutorial.

September, 14th 2000
I thought I'd give this website a bit of a lift. I was bored, basically.

September, 10th 2000
I changed the links. RPGmaker.net now has the sphere forum, please try to use it. ;p

September, 7th 2000
This is more of a spelling mistake fix than an update. I'm sorry. No wait, Sphere has JPEG support.

September, 3rd 2000
Fantasy Realms is definatly a sphere game now. Yea.

August, 31st 2000
Neat, another update within 24 hours. I've added a new sphere member. I hope to help people find sphere games, where-ever that game is hosted. So please give me your links.

I've been working all summer, but now it's time to let the money make money itself. Why should I be the one who has to work, hey. You see, if I have £1000, the bank gives me £50 - £75 a year for free. If I get enough money, I'll never have to work again. Then I get todo nothing but concentrate on the things that matter; sphere, life, music, sleep. Anyhow, a new sphere is out! Yea:- Sphere version 0.85Remember, sphere is still in its alpha stages, so it might not work. Anyhow, it's looking pretty cool at the moment. And the QueueCommand function and person entities are starting to look pretty kewl. I've rearranged the links section to be slighty more informative. Btw, I haven't updated in a long time because of me being lazy, but don't worry, Sixth Form College starts soon so I'll have much more free time. "Do you hear that Mr Andersson, that is the sound of inevitability." "My name is Neo." - The Matrix. Finally, layer visibilities have been added to sphere, wgt, Aegis and Darklich, good work.

August, 1st 2000
Ages ago, I said I would like the occasional e-mail about my website here. Well guess what... I finally got an e-mail from someone other than Aegis. 0_o This really makes my day, thanks Adi. Anyhow, I've completely scrapped the design for this website and gone back to basics. Basics as in, extremely text extensive. Weird. Not a single image in the days of dynamic webpages, rather than static. Although, this page will be static for a while longer... Btw, I added Darklich's website to the links...

July, 24th 2000
You know, I'd like to add more content to this site, even if it mean't non-sphere related material. Just things... Anyhow, I was thinking about becoming a web-design company and got carried away with thinking about it from the customers point-of-view. So because of that, I now offer a web-design service for free. How much? Zero. Yep, the best customer service and quality at the best price. But why?! Well it's like a hobbie, not a career. Maybe I'll be able to get a job someday thanks to it. Check the new design page. 0_o

July 20th 2000
Sorry about the lack of updates... I got obsessed with working and using javascript, 0_o Oh well, gotta go to sleep... It's like my body has been using the back-up generator for *too* long; the primary generator must of broke, and I'm not qualified to fix it, someday... Oh and I was thinking about making a "index.wml" page, so that you could check the lastest update from your mobile phone? You know, WAP: wireless application protocol. Kind of like HTML, but without the color. But other than a bit of a bother, I can't see how WML/WAP would be actually useful. "As I'm not trying to sell anything"™

July, 3rd 2000
I've purchased myself a book or two about programming... C/C++ for Linux in 21 days... I'm on the second day at the moment which must be bad as I've been reading for three days.

June, 14th 2000
Well I've been in Linux quite a bit this weekend and I've become pretty good with this thing called the GNU image manipulation program. I would call it the GIMP but I don't wanna say I'm a good GIMP user. The way I see it is Linux is a cheap way for people like me to get a good image program. An expensive way is to buy Photoshop for windows. The down side to my plan there is that I have to keep switching between Win9x and Linux because I have a WinModem, meaning the old modem only works in Win9x. The Linux community is basically an online one... and I can't be part of it because I use Windows to get online.

Hey hey. Netscape and Internet explorer both work fine on this website now. However the way netscape works is *so* annoyning it drives me insane somtimes! IE excepts table background cell colors but Netscape doesn't; Netscape re-uses the body background in the tables I create and font size 2 changes from about 2 to 4 as Netscape pleases. Dispite that, the site is cool now. It looks kind of proffesional and I don't know about working in Linux but Netscape is close enough to Linux so there. A cross platform, browser, website. Very proffesional. Now all I have to do is get a job doing PC stuff, programming, web developing; that kind of thing. Otherwise it seems like I'll be moving warehouse boxes all my life.

June, 14th 2000
Ah, my border gradient looks nice. Now I'm happy with the site design. Notice how I don't close this site during reconstruction? Well that's just me. But what have I been doing this month? It hasn't exactly been spent updating the website. This half of the month has gone fast. What with work, exams and soccer I have no time whatsoever. LOL, but I'll be working on river-of-time during summer. Hopefully I *won't* be able to get a summer job, that way I could get most of the game done.

June, 13th 2000
I still exist here people. I'll start working on tutorials as soon as a newer version of sphere comes out. Cya then. P.S. Notice my table border? I'll make it better later, but its basically there now.

June, 1st 2000
Hey, hey, I've been making my battlesystem better... watch this space! Btw, if you need help with sphere just e-mail me...

May, 28th 2000
I've started making a battlesystem, the ultimate goal being a fully working final fantasy style battlesystem for others to implement in their sphere games. So how is my battlesystem going? Well all it is at the moment is attack power and evade percentage. Meaning it's not very like final fantasy yet, but it's started. I'll add some user input, some spells and get it working in the map engine and release it as soon as possible.

May, 25th 2000
Sphere artwork page opened * Flik cuts the red ribbon -> sphere artwork gallery. Get your own art work in the sphere gallery. Send it to me... Also, the BlitSurface function was added to my ssl.

May, 24th 2000
I haven't really bothered with this site recently have I? Well all that's going to change. I mean I know I don't have a hit counter but I don't really get any e-mail about the site so I can just about guess that the only person that will read this is me and Aegis. Hello Aegis, :) So what can I do to make this site more popular and thus get the occasional e-mail to make it all worth while. Don't get me wrong, I don't just have a website to try and get one or two e-mails but it would be nice. You know that feeling, going on line... checking your e-mail and getting some. It just makes your day. Well it does for me. I also added Overlord's web address to the links.

May 20th 2000
What is it with this site? I mean why don't I get many visiters? I mean I know I don't have a hit counter but I don't really get any e-mail about the site so I can just about guess that the only person that will read this is me and Aegis. Hello Aegis, :) So what can I do to make this site more popular and thus get the occasional e-mail to make it all worth while.
