Make sure you close the Geocities ads so the page will display properly.

This page is rarely gets updated becasue I only get 15mb of webspace. I cant even upload all of my OLD games with 15mb! Since I am not a web programmer, I dont update the page very much...also having such a small amount of space and a tiny badnwidth limit keeps me from touching this website. Also, the annoying add on the side of teh page can ruin the format. Anyway, this page was made in MSpaint and notepad. I keep it simple since thats all this page needs. If you know of a cool web server that gives me more than 15mb for free, let me know.

Long time no see! I am now doing some XNA coding. I need some more web space, so I can upload my other old stuff, and more current projects I have done...like my ports to my gp2x and my soon to be XNA games. I also put up a recent copy of my resume in the about me section, so you guys can see what I've been doing for the past few years.

2/8/07

I added a KaBlammyman FAQ in the "About me" section...check it out!

1/5/07

almost a whole year before an update? Meh I have been programming stuff, but it never makes it to the web. Why? becasue geocities sux...I dont have very much webspace. Anyway, what have I done? Well, I graduated from college. and ummm...I movedf back to San Francisco. Oh yeah, I got a job...i got it soon after my last update. I work here I'm a programmer. (big surprise)

Since I program for a living now, I dont make many games on my own anymore. Truth be told, I will make games for the company one day...but before that can happen, I have other non-gaming things to work on. (booooriiiiiiing)

On the gaming side of things, I made a psudo 3d race game for my senior project using digial graphics. (think of Sega's Outrun or Square's Rad racer but with digital camera graphics of my 1987 acura integra) The game play is not terrible, but theres much to be desired. It got me a good grade for my senior project though!

I also made 2 ports to a game system called GP2X

I ported Newdunkfest (which was updated for this port...you can get the windwos version in the misc games section)

super grand prix 2

Its a lot of work to port games to the system even though it allows me to use allegro. It the fact I have to resize or redo graphics or how they are handled. Its a PITA. The 2 games I ported didnt need a graphics overhaul since dunkfest is already at 320x200 and I was able to make the viewable screen smaller for sgp2. Its harder to play sgp2, but its worth it.

I'm thinking about porting freeway madness too...shouldnt be too hard. Maybe even tetris.

I have been improving many of my older games, seeing if I want to take the plunge and port them to my gp2x...but meh. I havemade some utilities to make the job easier, but, the graphic resizer has too many bugs...and it uses allegro's dat prgram which also sux. This is why only 2 games have been ported. 2/2/06

I have been programming again...and a lot. I'm done with school now, so I'm bored. I have been finishing the "updates" I started on various projects and games. Stay tuned! I woner where I can host them? I'm out of webspace...

This is my game programming page. I FINIALLY UPDATED IT!! I did it all on my own too. I learned a small bit of Java script and a bit of CSS, but no thanx to the person who was supposed to help me! Oh well. Oh yeah, I made this page entirely in MS Paint and MS Notepad¡Klike a man should. I think the page looks kinda cool. Not bad for someone who never stepped foot in an art or web design class, huh? BTW, Dream waver, FrontPage and anything the like is fo' suckas! Yeah, that's right...I went there.

Anyway, on this page, you will find only SOME of the games I have made. Geocities won't let me have more than 15mb of space, so what can I do? I will list all the games I made and the ones that I attempted to make, but I gave up on. If you want something that isn't download-able, drop me a line and I'll send it to you.

You may have the source to my games, just ask me. I don't want to just GIVE the source away without permission since I worked hard on it. I know that I got help to make this source, but I did lot of work on my own also.

These are the action type games I made. Future wars is probably my most popular games¡Kpopular enough for people to tell me¡Kyeah, I know its cool.

Future Wars

I just bought 2 controllers for my PC during X-mas break of 2001, and wanted to make a game to utilize them. I remember the first night I started coding this game, I was up till 5 am, but it was cool since it was X-mas break.This game is one of my favorites becasue of the 2 player action. The 1 player mode has crappy AI. This game is probably my most popular game according to my friedns and emails that I have read.(2001)

Future Wars 2 (N/A for Download)

A sequel to future wars. It had scrolling, 4 Titans (the little guys on the screen are called titans),differnt weapons and a better game engine. I never finished it becaue I was too busy for such a complex game. It was almost done (the game engine anyway) so I might pick it up again.(2002)

Arcade type games

Blocks

A Breakout clone I made for my GF (of the time) my Freshman year in college.(2000-2001)

Java Blasters

A game I made becasue I was tired of my Java programming class and teacher. Of course it was made in C++. I still dont like Java. Its just an asteriods clone, but with java words instead of asteriods. I originally planned to make this game customizable, so you can add pics/words of things YOU hate...but I got bored and never implimented that feature. (2003)

Freeway Madness

A game I made for my little brothers as an X-mas gift. I made this game in less than a week. Its a fun game to play when you have a few mins. Try to beat my high score of 7665. (2003)

Updated 6/21/05...ready for download. Slightly enhanced game play and is displayed in a window¡Kwhy? I dunno. Now you have to worry about your gas, and you cant cheat to get a high score. Its more difficult, but a better game over all.

Old Pong (N/A for Download)

My VERY first game! Made in c with DJGPP and my own low level functions. (i copied them from this GREAT tutorial) I remember how hard it was for me to set the video mode to 13h before that tutorial and DJGPP. Now look how far I've come. Memories...(1999)

New Pong (N/A for Download)

A new version of Pong that was to practice my TCP/IP game programming. I never finihsed it. blah(2003)

Savage Fighters (N/A for Download)

My attempt at a Stret Fighter clone. It was almost a complete 2D fighting enigne, but I couldnt get it good enough to keep me intrested. I tried to implament complex joystick motions that all 2D fighting games have (quater circle back, half circle foward, etc), but I never got that right either. ah well (2002)

Side Scrollers

KaBlammyman!!

My first game made with Allegro. I was still in high school when I made this too. I never finished it, therefore, it never became the game I envisioned. (1999-2000)

I have since made it better using things I learned from Stickman and Super Grand Prix. I didn't make it the game I envisioned, but just improved the game that I made back in High school. There is now 8 (?) levels¡KI think. The physics are better, and the animation is better. I basically polished it a bit in my free time. There are still LOTS of bugs, but the bad guys are a bit smarter.

Stickman

I made this game to teach myself a lot of stuff. That's it. Run, jump, and spin-attack through 8 levels to get to the ¡§exit house.¡¨ Avoid beavers and wood peckers while jamming to the sound track of Megaman 1. I used that sound track cuz it felt that it fit. (2001)

Racing Games

Super Grand Prix

My first racing game. It was cool making this. I had no other code to learn off of like I could with other games, so its totally from scratch! I was proud of it at the time! I made a game with split screen action! I look at the code now and I want to throw up. (2002)

Super Grand Prix 2

***UPDATE*** The game has been improved to add 2 players, various options, bug fuxes, and new features.

A sequeal to Super grand Prix. It is a SUPERIOR version to part 1. There were so many enhancements and new features, not to mention bug fixes that its not even funny. Way to many to list. The only draw back is that its only 1 player, but it was coded to be versitle enough to have a split screen liek the old one. Alas, the arcade direction I too this game with didnt allow for a 2 player game. I always planned on making a TCP/IP version, but I never did.(2002)

Misc games I made

Dunkfest

the game has been updated! for the new year (auctually it was updated in sept of 2006...just uploaded on jan of 07)

easier to dunk and control

more accurate collision detection

the shoot out allows you to move for differnt shots

there are 1,2 and 3 pointers in the shootout

high scores are saved

slightly differnt title screen!!!!!!!!

I started to code this game while in HS, but never finished it. I later finished it in college. I got the idea from a TI-83 calculator game and added a shoot out. Its a fun little game, but its evident that I cant draw. Its really simple, and addictive, too bad I didn't know how to make a high score table back then, otherwise the replay value would have been higher. I should re-do it¡Kmake the animation smooth and add that high score table. (2002))

Jus Chattin'

My first TCP/IP program. Man it tooka long time to get this right, but once I did, it felt great!(2002)

Connect 4

Another attemp to pratice my TCP/IP game programming. Basketball season came aonlg, and well, you kow how that goes... The game engine is done, and there is a crude form of AI, but the TCP/IP never got implemented, and the game is VERY unpolished.(2003)

Bacteria! a screen saver(N/A for Download)

AI made a screen saver¡Kbut it didn't come out as intended. I wanted to have ¡§bacteria¡¨ multiply, and eat food (pixels). If they didn't eat enough, they would shrink. Soon, if they didn't eat at all, they would die. However, if they eat a lot, they would divide. It was a simple looking game. Circles were the bacteria, and pixels were the food. The bacteria bounced across the screen, and if they hit one another they would ¡§fight.¡¨ The smaller one would probably die, but the bigger one would take damage, and shrink. It never worked right because I didn't use my normal classes¡Kah well. (2003)

Time screensaver (N/A for Download)

I never knew the time when my screen saver came on, so I made one that showed the time with a parallax star field. The time and date would zoom in and out and was pretty annoying after a while. Just like with bacteria, I used some screen saver code that didn't stop multiple instances from coming up, nor did it allow my computer to sleep.(2003)

Dance Generator (N/A for Download)

I was still fresh to popping and locking, so I needed help with creativity. This program used a link list that was generated from a text file. The text file had a bunch of ¡§dance moves¡¨ in it and it would randomly show them at some interval. I would then have to do what it said, no matter what I was doing before. It did help me be creative with my popping and locking and to stop me form being repetitive. However, the program could have been much better. Its still unfinished, but functional. I planned to make a simple drum beat to dance too, but I never did since I would just turn on my music, and set the program speed to the music speed manually.

New Dunk Fest (N/A for Download)

The same as Dunk fest, but with digital graphics of yours truly. It didn't work since I sux with photo shop. Many animation frames were different sizes, and the ball it self had different sizes. That's the last time I listen to an artist who claims that "it will be fine, we can change it in Photoshop later.¡¨ Yeah right. After we took the pictures, I got no help to do what was needed to be done artistically. Wow, artist sux!

The programmer

I'm from San Francisco CA, went to highschool at Saint Ignatius College Prep. but I went to college in SoCal at the University of La Verne. I'm an ex college basketball player who tried his hand at some ABA basketball.

I drive a bad ass 1987 Acura Integra which is my daily driver and AutoX monster! Shes a turbo charged beauty! I rebuilt teh engine myself, welded up a turbo manifold, tune the ecu ( the cars computer) and daily drive her. She has her share of problems (most of which are casued by me LOL) but I wouldnt trade ehr for the world!

I am also into popping and locking...I'm not bad, but I have a lot of improving to do. I dont practice anymore...but everynow and then you will see me pop or lock if the mood feels right. The way I dance causes people to circle around me and clap!

Anyway, I'm a very out going person who is easy to talk to; people seem to open up to me easily. I like to joke around and have a good time. I like to dance, play basketball, bowl a little bit, play videogames, and work out. I also like working on my car and driving it at SCCA auto -crosses

Here is a FAQ about KaBlammyman and "what it means." I will add more when there is a need for more information from the KaBalmmyman fever.

Q: How do you prenounce KaBlammyman?

A: "Ka-Blam-me-man"

Q: Who is KaBlammyman?

A: KaBlammyman is a comic book character I made in 7th grade. It all started with a flip book of a simple drawing of a "guy" who went on a lil adventure to get to work. He then went on to star in a series of flip books...each one better than the previous.

Q: Are you KaBlammyman?

A: Sure, why not.

Q: Why is that your "inernet thingy" name?

A: Because I use that name on AIM, yahoo messenger, message boards, xbox live, and my webpage. I like to be consistent!

Q: What else has KaBlammyman been in?

A: I made a videogame about him, which can be downloaded from the side scroller section.

Q: Is KaBlammyman cool?

A: Yes, and he's also bad ass.

Q: Does he have a history?

A: In 8th grade, I wanted to make KaBlammyman more of a "normal" action/comic book hero, so the game I pictured and designed reflected that. (In reality, it was just a combo of the games I liked at the time, like Megaman(X), sonic the hedgehog, super mario, etc) Anyway, I learned how to program in C/C++ while in HS, so I made a "demo game." Honestly, the demo game suxed. I later re-did the demo game, but its nothing like the game I envisioned...and it still sux! I don't have the time or the art mastery to do it the way I want to, so just like in the flip books, he's a crude lil drawing.

Q: So, this "crude little drawing" is cool?

A: No, it sux. I drew pictures of "the real KaBlammyman" but they are on paper at my house in San Francisco. I'm no artist, but they aren't bad IMO.

Q: Is there a KaBlammyman fan club?

A: Yes

Q: What are your plans for KaBlammyman?

A: A real cool videogame, movies, shoe deals, and maybe even a line of colognes and body sprays. It should be called something like "KaBlam!" or something like that. One squirt and the ladies will be all over you.

Q: Can he be my hero too?

A: He's the people's hero! BTW, he's a black male (Under his super suit) lost in a world he never knew! His super suit happens to be white...

Q: How did you come up with the name?

A: In the flip books, he would crash into things, and would get hurt a lot. So that name just popped into my head after I finished the first flip book. The name just stuck after all these years. Now it's a symbol of his power of explosion and his ability to bounce off walls (not crash into them.) Because of all these "changes," I have a great story line that includes his true past, the explanations, and things that will happen in the future.

Q: You are a dork

A: That's not a question, genius

Q: Okay, fine, are you a dork?

A: If you are asking if I'm a whales penis, then the answer is no, I am not a dork. However, I have nerd tendencies.
