As some of you might have noticed. I'm not really into completing projects. I've spent my last 3 weeks playing WoW and doing some minor "test" applications, such as an isometric pyramid thingy with lights, which I didn't get to work. Anyways, I have to blame my non-existant sense of planning for th…

I'm also doing a PHP thing for my WoW guild. It's basicaly a system that let's you link to items within the foru…

The world is so small...
Who would have guessed that a man who works on the shop across the street from my home has a son who has taken a Masters in both CS and Math?

I'm back! With Pictars!
So, I was talking to HopeDagger the oher day, and after some talk about OpenGL/SDL and his magnificent project, Skirmish Online, he came to the conclusion that "you have to update your journal, too".
And he's right.

So here I'am. And a friend of mine and I have started a project in BlitzMAX. It's goi…

Do I smell money?
Good news!

If I learn MySQL and PHP properly i'm being offered a contract! I guess I'll let my SDLFramework lay low for awhile while I brush up my skills in webprogramming. This is going to be so much fun!

Yohoo! [smile]

PHP

PHP

My friend has been using PHP for his website for some time, and I wanted to learn it, so I gave it a go. I thought it would be quite different from C++, but really, it's kinda like the same language!

All I got was a form though...A form in index.html that submits some info to process.php. process.ph…

Allright, game progress is going slow...
...apart from the fact that I have written two new classes: "GenericPlayer" being the abstract base class for the "Player" class(and the "NPC" class later on).

I have some problems with animation though, right now the player sprite doesn't move more than 20 px/buttonpress, and if I hold the button d…

Yay! SDL is morale boosting!
So before my head hits the pillow, I want to show you guys the progress of my current game(which I intend to finish, really), it's programmed in C++ with SDL(which is much better than what I anticipated).

What I'm so proud of is that I have created a framework for future SDL projects as well as the …

"Gullstikka" Norwegian game awards 2005
"Gullstikka" is an annual norwegian awards ceremony for games. Directly translated it means "The golden joystick". It's a place where industry tops here in norway come together and drink beer[grin]. I watched it via VG NET and I must say it was the most boring thing EV4R!!11 With no good humour(exc…

"NERD"
This is a rant

I'm now officially called a nerd at school.

Thats the simple part of it.

First I didn't care as much about it. As long as I had my friends it went OK. But then they started doing the same.
Isolating me.
Now I'm out. No friends. No supporters.
Why? Because I do what I love. Programming. I…

AH! DirectX and me == (L)
Ladies and gentlemen!

I would like to present my newest program! Deliberately named:



This means so much to me, so I would like to thank anybody who helped me out with DirectX and the tedious process( I believe) to set it up! GameDev.net is the best place on the net, but It wouldn't be heavenly good w…

Our OS who art in memory
I didn't do much coding today. But I translated a cool Norwegian joke. Hope it isn't offensive to anyone:


Our OS who art in memory
hallowed be Thy screen
Thy keyboard come
Thy will be done
On screen,
As it is in memory
Give us today our daily menu
and forgive us our errors,
as we forgive your errors(LOL).

Mathematics
I have recently discovered a great interest in math. And since we're just learning about Pythagoras at school, I thought it would be cool if I wrote a program for one of his theorems:


l^2 + l^2 = h^2




So I made a program for it. Here it is. If you find some design flaws or places where things could ha…

I started working on a TXT RPG yesterday
I skimmed trough my directories last night and figured that I have never really completed the "real" projects I have worked on. So I decided that this had to change.

So yesterday evening I started working on a TXT RPG. And to be honest with you, I think it goes by very well.

I don't want to compile t…

ARG, MAC SUCKS
Hello all(if anybody reads this at all, wouldn't surprise me if you didn't)

I just decided to do OpenGL first and then pass on to DirectX in a few years time. I'm also experiencing difficulties with taking screenshots of my OpenGL programs in Xcode and MAC OS X.

Hopefully, i'll be able to supply you …
