I still find this excerpt from the Wap 1.5 page kind of funny. "MIDI music in particular tends to hog a lot of processor capacity."As usual, technology marches on.
Yeah, Homestar Runner was the best thing about the 00s internet. Shame the creators moved onto bigger and better things around 2009 and just kind of left the site to rot.
Pretty soon Flash will be totally obsolete and the cartoons won't even be watchable anymore.
I'm kind of surprised they never ran ads on that site. Guess they made enough money from merchandise to keep it running without them.
That's awesome. Yeah, Homestar Runner was the best thing about the 00s internet. Shame the creators moved onto bigger and better things around 2009 and just kind of left the site to rot. Pretty soon Flash will be totally obsolete and the cartoons won't even be watchable anymore.
I have to say, I would most definitely use that H*R startup game. Make sure it includes Strong Bad spewing out a bunch of randomized lines!
(Though I have to disagree that it's a unique look - the Vectrex did it in 1982, after all. )
I'm going to guess that the ship is drawn as a LineLoop? Looks really nice, and it's great to see more and more people get some mileage out of the Galileo classes. @Flying Jester would be proud because I nicked the idea for them straight from TurboSphere. On an unrelated note, seeing things like this in action does make me think I should add an "auto" resolution option that makes the window resizable and also to use the OS native resolution in fullscreen mode...
