today i ran into a problem where we used UNSIGNED int. When you subtract two UNSIGNED int’s you used to get a SIGNED result, they changed it so now you get an UNSIGNED results which causes problems if your results is negative.

A Solution that you can take to solve the problem is CAST your UNSIGNED int to a SIGNED int.

example: SELECT CAST(shelf AS SIGNED) ……

another solution is to change the sql mode:

we noticed today at work that in v3 of tinyMCE they killed

tinyMCE.getContent(”my_id”);

and they replaced it with

tinyMCE.get(”my_id”).getContent();

Here is what we have so far, we plugged in the artwork for the background and have starting working on the monsters and towers attacking things. Next we are working on making the monsters work to the keep (follow the path, and not walk over things).

Here is what we think the background is going to look like for the game, will try to stick the images into the game and put up a video later.

here is some basic game play, keep in mind that this is a very early addition. None of the images are file currently they are just place holders.

Here is the first draft from our artist for the main character, this Is not final just a first look.

Below is a video of basic functionality of tower hero, right now the images are only stand in images until my artiest finishes.

Today i’m showing off the placing tower feature.

Tower Hero Placing Towers

I will keep you posted as updates are made.

Something that i have been very interested in is Face Detection / tracking.

I found a entry in a blog that talks about a way of doing it in OpenCV and JAVA.

I have started playing with it, and have had ok results, all that is next is to then reconize the face that it finds in the image.
