PHP Form For week 7 inclass assignment

I did my php scripted form for the in class assignment. I used the existing mail form and modified it to support the new form. Andy Zickler showed me how to mix PHP and HTML for the response page, and make it so that it links back if you go directly to the destination page.

Client site

Andy and I got the two pages for the new site done. It's looking pretty good so far. We also have our doc, but other than bringing it to class on Monday we're not sure where to turn it in.

We finished up yesterday afternoon.

Nav Networks

My AI professor told me that I was not allowed to use SM3.0 specific commands in my second AI project. So all those walk maps I generated? Useless. Had to start over from scratch.



So I have. Now I have a A* navigation network that is procedurally generated from level geometry I create in a 3d modeling package.

Midterm project

I finished up my midterm project this morning. I think it turned out ok. It's a tongue-in-cheek site about my current housing. The testamonials are clearly made up to create content, I don't think that really matters.

Andy and I are cranking on that design document for the website redesign. With any luck, we'll be done with that after class tommorrow.

Visual Studio is Microsoft's greatest product

I just used the refactoring tools for the first time in VS2005Pro. It was a minor change: I wanted to change the property

public ScreenManager ScreenManager

to

public ScreenManager Host


in my Artificial Intelligence project.

VS was able to make the change and then update ALL references. Took 30 seconds, despite the fact that the property was referenced in a couple dozen different places across about a half dozen different class files.

Things are starting to come together. The following image is a walk map, that is a map of areas that are legal to walk on in blue and illegal in white.
