Work

7:33pm JST Thursday 26 May 2011 (day 15037)

Been busy busy with work work work; it's nice to have an interesting project that I pretty much am getting to design myself. We're making an Android application, and though it's got specs (or does it??), I get to decide how to implement the details.

I wiped out some AsyncTasks that I thought I needed to kick off some audio, but turns out I don't need them, and today I implemented the pageElement duration design that I sketched out last night. That took about 4 hours, and then I was trying to get sounds to fade between elements, but I couldn't do that without fading *all* the sounds, so there goes the concept of letting some audio streams last for multiple page elements. But it's still good that I got that most implemented; last night, the sounds were being culled before they got to play at all. *Now* they know if they're allowed to keep playing by virtue of when they were created.

Tomorrow I've got to refine the elements a bit, allowing the first part of the element to fade into view, and *then* kick off the next part. (visual fades in and then audio starts)
