JonnyBoy Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 any recommendations of good web pages that are cool and you drool over (steady! I want to create an e-portfolio and e-cv. I want to create a really cool site but need some inspiration. I'm doing product design so it needs to reflect my degree! As most of you guys are in computing, can anyone recommend any good web page creation programs? i dont know much html coding so visual is better....free is best too (#### cheapskate students) anyone have any good templates? or even wanna do one for me..kidding TIA Jonny Quote
ricdiggle Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 Dream weaver is also very very expensive. Flash is fantastic and very hard to use and very expensive also. Part of my site : www.diggle.fsnet.co.uk/ uses flash and has very annoying music. 30 day trails of both can be found on Magazine cover discs very often and if you don't mind breaking the law - cracks or hacks can easily be found on the internet to enable them to fully work - but that is of course, stealing. Check out the www.yamaha.co.uk or .com websites - they are both very good. www.thehun.com is also very good but for very different reasons. A resource for flash that is fantastic can be found at: www.flashkit.com basically, you nick the work that someone else has done and modify it to suit you needs. It is all freeware. Hope that is of some help Quote
westy Posted August 26, 2002 Posted August 26, 2002 cracks or hacks can easily be found on the internet to enable them to fully work - but that is of course, stealing. Yep ricdiggle is right even if you go to www.download.com, then download kazaa media desktop, signup and down load it using that its still classed as stealing. Quote
ricdiggle Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 Always virus check anything that comes via Kazaa too. It is riddled with them! Quote
catflap Posted August 27, 2002 Posted August 27, 2002 www.teambarcode.btinternet.co.uk Not westy related, but I made this in flash, its to do with paintball I am a bit of a flash programmer, and am making a westy page in flash, something totally different, with a keen eye on design. Have already designed the interface, and im just working on the program for a westy game, where you can race or hill clime, all basic stuff though. I am thinking about using a westy as the pointer device where you have to drive to the bits of the site and park where you want to see. Quote
JonnyBoy Posted August 28, 2002 Author Posted August 28, 2002 nice, the spinning coloured tiles are great! thx for the replies. I have dreamweaver MX. the next thing i guess is to learn to use it. thx again Quote
ricdiggle Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Catflap, A flash westy site? Already been done mate - and I doubt you could improve significantly on my fantastic design! And it sounds to me like you are ripping off my on-line track day idea too! Now I know you couldn't improve on that!! I often wear a skid lid when I play it as the realism is almost overwhelming!! Be original - make your site in something other than Flash. What about origami - now that would be original! As H. Simpson once said, "Oh, and if you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic!" Quote
catflap Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 hahah Mate ive seen your flash site, hahahahah i have only recently stopped laughing kidding Seriously though im working on something a little different, the track thing will be a full game where you can race around a number of tracks Check out my above link to see the sort of thing im on about its going to be totally original, a little bit arty farty but thats what us design gurus do p.s the racing game you mate is tops can you make it so you have to press A and L as fast as you can to make them race across the screen (like that old athletics game) heheh thers an idea for you hours of fun with a simple bit of action script code (ill make it for you if you want one on your site) Quote
ricdiggle Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Hehehe, The westy racing game on my site is just an adaptation of one of the lessons on flash 5. I think it had aliens or something at first. I just changed the picture of the alien head. (which took me about 6 hours) and added the text and the big red button ( about 3 days to do this! ) Needless to say, I have no idea how to use flash at all. The instructions were so boring and long! and I only had 30 days to use it. P.S. I can no longer update my site as my software has failed miserably and will not re-load. The games you mentioned were Track and Field and Hyper-Olympics. I have both on MAME. I rubbed away the sleaves of many a jumper on the running buttons when I was just a lad. It was better to rub the palm of your hand (clenched fist) over the buttons than tap them with your fingers. Hence the rubbed off jumper sleaves - it was too painful with bare skin. Quote
catflap Posted August 29, 2002 Posted August 29, 2002 LOL they dont make games like that anymore...... THANK GAWD Ill make one for the site then race against other cars Quote
