An animation tile sheet is an image containing the complete set of frames necessary to achieve a specific animation using the blitting method.

For example, this one:


Few days ago I stumbled upon a great script for Photoshop to generate automatically tile sheets like this.

RA Animation Exporter 1.2
Download it and put the JSX in your Photoshop script folder.

The whole process is very simple, you just proceed like you wanted to create an animated GIF in Photoshop.


Then you will be able to launch the script going to Menu-File-Scripts-RA Animation Exporter v1.2, if it is not there, just click on browser and look for your JSX file. It will generate a single PNG containing each frame of the animation.

Just remember before to proceed create a backup copy of your work.

The script is not perfect, I tried to contact the author to try to fix it together but he never answered to my email.
Anyway, if you find a way to fix it please let me know.

Lately I have been attracted by some advertising banners on Google Ads.
They all had one thing in common... boobs!

Funny thing is that they are not at all considered sexy ads, infact they all advertise video games.

The Evony ads are the ones with the most interesting evolution, they passed from a knight to boobs like it was a normal thing to do. Studing their evolution is clear that they gained benefits from it, otherwise why misslead people to something totally different from what you are advertising?

Attracting people with sexual images is not as new as somebody can think.
Walt Disney has done it many times, using either boobs and phallic symbols.

In very old advertising it is funny to search for this subliminal messages.

Subliminal messages are not directly understandable, but at a subconcious level our brain decodes those images as something interesting.

I have collected few game advertising, all images taken from Google Ads, so of course none of those advertise any kind of sexual contents.[...] Click here to read more...

Lately we have seen so much buzz around the new Apple developer agreement.
To resume that, they basically said applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript to be accepted on the AppStore.



This of course keeps our beloved Flash CS5 iPhone packager out of the party.
Now, more than a war against Adobe seems to be a marketing strategy, they are not stupid, they know that with the new Flash tool they will see thousands of apps overcrowding the AppStore, and biggest problem, developer will be able to make cross platform version of the same game for any other marketplace, choosing different prices.

That for them must have been like a nightmare, imagine an Android with the same games of an iPhone but at a lower price!!! AAAAAAAAAAH!!! VADE RETRO SATANA![...] Click here to read more...
