Aug 22nd
/** * Openpixels example in Processing. * This simple example of how to get a sprite * from a sprite sheet. */ PImage bg; PImage sprite_sheet; PImage player; void setup() { // load images bg = loadImage("kitchen.png"); sprite_sheet = loadImage("guy.png"); /* The sprite size is 32x49. Look guy.png, the "stand position" is at (36,102). */ player = createImage(32, 49, ARGB); player.copy(sprite_sheet, 36, 102, 32, 49, 0, 0, 32, 49); // set screen size and background size(bg.width, bg.height); background(bg); frameRate(30); } void draw() { background(bg); image(player, 100, 50); }

Getting Openpixels
Aug 20th
Openpixels is a project of mine to create a free and open source artistic framework for game projects in any language or platform. It is going pretty well.
You can just download a zip or tar.gz of the latest version.
You may want fork it or get a git working copy of it to later make your own contributions to the project. In this case:
apt-get install git-core cd ~ git clone git://github.com/silveira/openpixels.git
You will see something like this:
Cloning into openpixels... remote: Counting objects: 129, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (126/126), done. remote: Total 129 (delta 17), reused 0 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (129/129), 784.52 KiB, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (17/17), done.
And now you have a repository clone at ~/openpixels and you can start hacking.
LG Optimus V 3G connection problem
Jul 11th
When I came back from my last travel my 3G connection stopped working and seems that a lot of people already had the same problem. It was after I reactivated my plan when I came back to the US. Apparently they forgot to activate my data plan I’m paying for.
How to solve
I tried different things but finally I tried to simply activate the phone again using the Activate application (probably the first application on the list). After a few tries It worked and I got my 3G connection back.
Improve your battery life
One interesting thing is that during my days without 3G my battery life was quite better. So when you want to save battery, in travels for example, you can manually activate/deactivate your data plan on the Setting -> Wireless & networks settings -> Mobile Networks -> Data Enabled option.
