We celebrated my birthday on Saturday, and I must say, it was a happp birthday! I got some hand-made bunny pajamas from my great aunt. (I didn’t get the BB gun I wanted, though, because apparently I’d shoot my eye out.) I also got this blu-ray and these books. So, ’twas good. And the cake’s already gone.
I also finished playing the game Portal the other day. It’s a short game; only takes about 6-8 hours (though I’m sure one could get good at getting through the thing in less than an hour with some practice). It’s a puzzle/action game, and is very addicting. You basically use a “portal gun” (or whatever it’s called) and create portals in the walls that then connect to each other. For examples, you could create a portal right in front of you and one right behind you to create an infinite hallway. Or create one right above you and right below you to create a bottomless pit. To win the game, however, you must create portals to solve puzzles, getting yourself and boxes and weird energy balls from one place to another, over and around obstacles. And, at the end, it plays this really catchy song. I haven’t played the bonus levels yet.
I still haven’t done any more programming for my Android game, but I did compose another short 2-minute piece of music called “Clockwork.” It’s not really as bombastic as my other pieces; it’s kind of light-hearted background music.
