Help Hammy: an interactive composition

I just finished making an interactive composition in Flash for my Computing in Design class entitled “Help Hammy.” My concept was inspired by the Lucas Arts puzzle adventure games, in which a player explores and interacts with the environment in a spirit of playful discovery. “Help Hammy” was my first serious foray into Actionscript, which happily, has syntax very similar to Java. Learning how to animate in Flash was a bit trickier for me, and as you can see, artwork is not my specialty! However, I learned quite a bit in the process and hope you enjoy the result.

I never can tell…

I noticed this sidebar alongside the page of a reading I was assigned for my design seminar. Suddenly I feel extra motivated to finish my work for that class. No need to upset the professors…

My favorite in the 50 Strange Buildings collection is #30: Erwin Wurm: House Attack (Vienna, Austria). The name alone won me over, but the visual is priceless. What’s your pick of the bunch?
