Scoopin' with Shino ~ game

/)eathKiller · 08-13-2004, 12:33 AM

Hi all, I know I haven't posted in a while, but since there's a new sig group starting up I've decided to lend my support heh. Thats getting off topic though. For those who didn't know, these last few weeks have been a time of celebration in Japan. It's called "Summerfest" and its a holiday to sort of bid a farewell to summer through celebration. It's also a common thing in areas of Europe. Anyway, traditional type activities in Japan were created as activities to participate in during summerfest. One of these activities is using a thin peice of paper attatched to a plastic hoop to scoop goldfish out of a pond and place them in a bowl as a prize. of course the water can soften the paper, + the fish can also be too heavy for the paper to hold while wet. Square-Enix took this traditional holiday game and made it a little international in Final Fantasy XI. Anyway, for those of you who are interested, I made a little simulator of this goldfish scooping sport, as it's played in FFXI with screenshots from FFXI and lots and lots of lazy lazy programming. Without furthr adeu the game is here: http://www.freewebs.com/bladeofages/...nwithshino.htm It's not about to become the latest addictive time-consumer, but hey, I'm consuming enough time as it is... probably... anyway, enjoy and happy summerfest hehe.

Nice to have you back Dk, I was wondering where you've been. Thanks for still hosting my sig by the way.

I can't get the game to work, apparently the security on my computer is set too high.

For some reason freewebs is a restricted site to some people >_> it shouldn't be though, it's a great service for hosting stuff and things and things and stuff [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And sorry for never getting to hold a descent conversation with you, RevRuby. I'm so close to getting my dragoon in fully purple armor i can taste it. Once that's done I can go about the rest of my life hehe.
