I have been riding the following single speed bike.

I have been working on redeveloping Bill Kendrick’s Madbomber game so that it runs on Android. Bill originally wrote Madbomber back in 1999 in SDL1. When I bought the Android Nexus 7 tablet, I thought that it would be a good platform for running madbomber as it has become a popular game platform. SDL2 now supports Android, so I have been rewriting it for SDL2. I also made the source so that it uses autoconf, so that it will check for proper libraries. I haven’t done a full release of the Android version of the game, but once I do the release of the Android game, I will publish the source for the Android. It’s actually the same source, put you just have to put into the Android build framework. Check out Madbomber2 sources.

I updated the Raffle application so that the winner can choose his prize. I need to get this on Git. In the meantime, check the source here. It still has it so that you can pick a prize and then a random winner.

Willow Schlanger and I participated in the Cereal Hack this last weekend. We built a Raffle application. We both worked in parallel. Willow built a version in PHP and I did mine in Java. Willow’s app was the most functional in the time for our 3 minute presentation. We didn’t win any awards, but our presentation went well. I continued to work on my Java version. You can download my Java version at the following link:

raffle08.zip is the version at the time of this writing.

I hope to put a link to Willow’s code soon.

In order to comment, you have to be registered now. I thought the re-Captcha would cut out spam comments, but either there are good re-Captcha crackers out there, or a lot of people looking for trackback links. I am assuming trackback is the correct term. I am also not sure if WordPress is protecting against cross site scripting attacks as it seems to allow all html characters.

I have still been hacking a lot of Java EE stuff and I hope to post more.

We shall see if this turns to code.

I just ran into a great post for integrating the Flex SDK with Eclipse. Adobe makes a free software version of the Flex SDK. When you look around for getting started with Flex Builder, just about everything points to Flex Builder, which isn’t available for GNU/Linux anymore. It is built on top of Eclipse, so I don’t know why adobe did this, but it is just one more reason to use free software tools that some vendor can’t jerk you in their direction. Springsource has some great projects working with the Flex SDK.
