flash games - pendulumeca & Grow Island

September 17th, 2007 | 6 Comments | Posted in flash games

Today I am going to introduce two flash games that I enjoy. The first one is Pendulumeca. This is not a new flash game but I like it a lot. It does not requires any thinking, just some reflex (not too much) and accuracy (not much too). Recently, there is a new game of this type (gravity spiderman genre) called Double Wires. Same mechanics, but I still like the handling for pendulumeca.

I managed to embed pendulumeca here. Basically, you shoot out your “web sling” and propel the little robot forward. My record is 823m. So tough, but addictive.


Grow Island

The second one is Grow Island. This is the newest of the Grow series, created by Eyezmaze. The objective of the grow series has always been to choose an action each turn. The world will then “grow” or evolve based on your action order. Once you max out the different evolutions, you will have the final ending. Sometimes, there are hidden, alternative endings too.

The animation are always pretty and whimsical. Even the storyline of your failed attempts are nice. I would say this is the best of the series, closely followed by Grow RPG.

If you are frustrated at not getting to the final ending, you can read the walkthrough at JayisGames.

weekends Wordpress Themes

September 16th, 2007 | 7 Comments | Posted in Wordpress Plugin, Wordpress themes

Being inactive for the past two weeks, now is the time again for some free Wordpress Themes for you. I didn’t have a lot this time round, but these below are quite unique.

  1. WP Journal - A very unique Wordpress theme that runs four columns horizontally. There are even featured post function at the top. With so much on a single page, yet I don’t feel it is cluttered at all. Good spacing. For another theme by the same author, check out 2001. Inspired by the Kubrick movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
  2. World of Warcraft Wordpress Theme - If you want to start a blog chronicling your exploits in WoW, this will be a perfect theme for you. I especially like the sidebar below (the bottom bar?).
  3. fu Punk - Punk inspired theme with good mix of colors pink, red and shades of black. The fonts used make the site looks vibrant.
  4. Smashing Freefont and Wordpress-Theme - What a way to celebrate your site first anniversary. Smashing Magazine ask Jos Buivenga (designer of the Delicious font - one of my favorite font) to design a font for them and Elena Gafita from the DesignDisease team to design a brand new theme. What’s more, there are giving them out for free. Good deal.

Other Wordpress Resources

  1. 77 Resources to Simplify Your Life as a Web Designer - Excellent list of tools and resources for budding web designers.
  2. Wordpress Plugin Generator - In the same vein of WordPress theme generator, there is now a plugin generator. This is not as easy to use as a theme generator. You got to know your basic plugin API, though the template code will make you life much easier.

The music suits the performance very well. Truly entertaining and humorous. It even inspired me to try out some of the finger play myself. Hope my fingers can take the strain. Be entertained.


GREAT Shadow Puppetry - These bloopers are hilarious
