Does anyone know any good books on HLSL? I'm wanting something more recent, but covers some of the older PS versions aswell.
The books I'm thinking about buying right now are:
The COMPLETE Effect and HLSL Guide by Sebastien St-Laurent,

I spent this weekend doing some stuff in MDX.
I first finished a template project I can work off of so I can get my experiments going without having to worry much about the Windows BS.

Well, I spent a few hours today trying to get some sort of map rendering going and I think it turned out pretty well. This was the first time I ever wrote a map renderer, so I'm not sure if I did it "properly." I decided to go with the MAP format since most versions of the VHE(Valve Hammer Editor) …

You ever have one those days where you're tired yet you still continue typing away at some code..then you return the next day and you're like "What the hell was I thinking?"

Hmm...I'm up late way past a reasonable hour of sleeping, and yet I still feel like I need to write something whether it be code or this blog entry. Tomorrow's going to suck.

I think some really obese people live above me, I can hear the floor creaking very loudly when they walk across the room. I usually drown out the noise with some loud D&B music.
I've had several other upstairs neighbors before, but none of them have made this much noise.

Wow, damn? Time flys by so fast now. I haven't really noticed it, but now it's getting to me. It seemed like yesterday that I was a freshman in high school, now I'm a senior :\.

A few days ago my MDX book arrived. Managed DirectX 9 Graphics and Game Programming.
I've been reading it thoroughly. I was really surprised how easy shader implementation is. I probably need to write a shader manager etc, but I've just been playing around with them in Kill Shit. I still haven't fou…

Basically this is a list of stuff I'd like to do throughout this summer, short term or long term(in no particular order).
- Install Ubuntu, and reinstall Windows. Backup, delete my current partition, create 3 new ones (125GB), (123GB), (2GB). The last one is for the Linux swap.
- Work on some Project RiL…

Naming conventions, a crucial part of your code. At their core, naming conventions are there to help in code readability, and depending on what convention you use it may help identify specific variable properties.
So what are the right naming conventions? How do you make sure your code is keeping up…

I'm officially off of the Project RiL Team. I understand why I'm removed, but I just wish I could of been confronted earlier so it didn't have to turn out like this.

Sometimes I just wish my parent's wouldn't of forced me into getting a job, it really destroys possible coding time.
I believe Cade's been busy with a few personal assignments himself, but I'm not quite sure on what. Progress on Project RiL has slowed a bit. I've been having issues with the SVN serv…

I was recently browsing some source code to some open-source projects, and I noticed that most of the developers prefer different brace alignments and use them quite consistently, but I've always wondered why THAT brace alignment why not THIS one?

Woops, it's been over a month since I've updated my journal. Cades been b.. nevermind.
Yea, well we've been smashing away at this project.

Nah, we didn't die...in fact we are quite far from it.
Sorry for the short post, but Cade has done so much that only a video could describe it all.

Well, Friday I forgot to mention that I received a box of goodies from my teacher that contains Visual Studio 2005 Standard, SQL Server 2005, and BizTalk Server 2006. I doubt I'll use the later two though.
I'd like to thank my Computer Science teacher for this.

Wow, well I haven't written in a while. I've decided to write a lengthy more content worthy journal.

His drive is unstoppable. Cade keeps cranking this stuff out.
He asked me to make a video of the Archvile walking around...Instead I put some music on and made him dance..among other things.

I was rummaging through some of my projects the other day, and I had completely forgotten about a Sudoku solver I had written in Java back in March.
It wasn't completed due to other projects that took higher priorities, but I feel like I should share it.

Progress seems to be moving along nicely on RiL, and thats where I've been focusing most of my time on.

Woot, so I talked to CadeF a bit today and he's done quite a bit since we last talked.
He's fully implemented shaders, and did more stuff with the GUI - mainly effects and such.
We do have some other team members. I forgot to mention RBurn last time, but he's been busy with work and playing games. :/…

I've been working on two main projects lately, my engine(Digerati), and a game I'm working on with Cade - Code named: Project RiL(Rhapsody in Laser) a Multi-player FPS.
I'll talk about Project RiL first, you may find it more interesting.
Cade is the lead coder and a brilliant one at that. He's alread…

Not much to say for today, other then sound playback works.
All music MUST be an MP3, and all other sounds must be .WAV.
