I was going to put a sort of tutorial on the website to show how sprite sheets are put in, etc. That's really all that changes the video content, along with a few lines of code commented out or numbers changed due to the number of sprite sheets.
I'll start with 1 sheet at 12fps (so 12 seconds). It'll be a horrible dance by Vera. The render order is reversed still, but...easy to fix later...and that pesky advertise here sign that needs to be clicked...just looks unprofessional.
Then, add lights then ...lose Administrator privilege on my own computer!...Who the heck..? Anyway, it won't let me create the .apk file now. I'll find the link to the sprite sheet editor I used and add some tips how to use it, then fix up the project file with the models and put the action in there...then spell it out clearly that someone could send in their own sprite sheet, or multiple sheets and have an app sent back with the Starplayer name on it...like Starplayer-SelenaGomez or something. Then fix the other stuff some day soon.
Does anyone know what to do to protect a computer program in regards to having it stolen. Is it a copyright or patent? I remember hearing the intent needs to be shown, and I think that's clear, but it would also be nice make sure I don't get shut out of my own design. I'm sure Google is way ahead of the game on a lot of that stuff and the open-source stuff is a good idea as well, but I'm not getting any advice, so if someone could please help. I'm calming down after the initial joyride which a lot of times ends in a massive crash.

My website had some advertisements which I thought was from GoDaddy having fun, then called them up and got angry, only to realize it was something I downloaded. I'm getting the hang of feeling stupid and embarrassed, though, and it's really not that bad. Otherwise, still figuring it out as I go. Should end up with a decent portfolio at least...if the whole new way to display video in a stand alone app that could easily be streamed with 5-10 image files per minute to track rather than whatever buffering is doesn't pan out. Not to mention hooking a device up to a projector! And what else could those layers be used for? Images with tiny holes or something? Color filters? Switching views? Depth perception? I don't know, but would like to find out someday.

Well, I was hoping a few of you knew who I was. Or maybe you were being sarcastic? We'll never know!
Yea, I'm using a "key"name. Get it? Like a penname? No? Oh well. Thank you!
I remember someone saying "The only thing worse than getting noticed is not getting noticed", so I'll take what comes with monoboom.co. Been a long way just to put the site up in a few weeks, but hopefully it's a good resource. I'll stick to the Android forum, unless there's a topic I can be of assistance.

Wonder if a sprite sheet works similarly to pixel layout? As I recall there are only 3 colors that make up the 8 bars of colors on that TV station, but it's usually much more complex than that...and that'd be tertiary instead of a binary format to pick the mix of colors, but that's just another number, so streaming a 0,1 or 2 from left to right? Hmm? Don't know! What about compression that goes line by line, but with a loop so it compresses 1/12th of the line at a time? Could that be more efficient? Don't know how that stuff works, but I saw the finale of some computer show where that was the big deal...then it got real intense when it came to a 3D file! Ooh! What's that? Seriously now, I'm just not familiar with who uses 3D files and probably would actually welcome an explanation. I got stuck trying to animate a mesh with AMXtex, although rotating and translating was pretty (well simplified?) easy in the code (after it finally worked) for Pilot and Rooms, which, of course could still be converted to C++, but I don't use that much. Translating any VB6 code to Java and putting it on Android looks pretty impossible from what I was looking at...Plus, those things take a lot of time to do, so I'm hoping VB can still be made to implement DX8.1 because they just slammed the door after that with "managed mode" and some other stuff. I'm sure it's still viable in some places, as I noticed the video poker game at the restaurant was still running on XP. And can't they open up the Xbox 360 to tinker with? It's just a computer...that uses DirectX8.1, if I'm not mistaken.

See! you put the name right there for anyone to see. I don't like that!
Hi!

Hello! (?). I used to post as someone else, but finally realized I should leave my personal stuff aside, instead of using this forum...Like you guys were probably thinking he should go get his own forum or something, right, plus I would get a little, well, you know...and not being able to log in sealed the deal! Well, I might make a forum (booooring!) soon since I've got my website laid (is it layed?) out. I'd say go check it out but it doesn't seem to be up right now...so I'll wait!
Anyway, just checking in... Still want to add more stuff to the website, but, at some point, you need other people to get involved with it (maybe someone(s) here!), just to know it's as good as I think it is or could be I should say...Then a bunch of other stuff! But I like when there's time to think it over...I'm about out of time and patience pursuing other career options, so...whatever!
I'd like to thank the folks here (I'd say names, but afraid to leave someone out) for helping out with a whole lot of stuff before, but usually just the discussions helped...
Still have everything from before, and my app works on my Android so should be good to develop further. Hope Vera's doing okay.

Makes one feel kind of insignificant doesn't it?
Just remembering that scene in Meaning of Life, after Eric Idle did the universe song.
