I've been pretty sick these last few days, which definitely makes going to classes a bit more painfull. I always feel like an ass sitting in the back of the class coughing ever two minutes. At least I have nyquil, and thanks to it lots and lots of sleep.
I haven't really had much energy to get work …

Well, I just got my ass handed to me in caps. First game 11-1, second 11-5. Basically, that means I've drank ~11 beers in ~2 hours. A winner is me!
Also, I realize this is about my third journal entry in about 24 hours. Hooray journal whoring! If you want anything meaningfull, read my previous two e…

Well, my camera took a bit longer than expected, but I'm pretty happy with it. Its an FPS style camera, where the mouse looks around and W, A, S, and D move you parrallel and perpendicular to the cameras view direction. This was implemented using spherical/polar coordinates, which worked quite well…

After making my D3D renderer look a bit more like reasonable C++ code, I decided I should actualy use it to show something on the screen (fancy that). After a few hours of work today, I have height mapping! Yay!

So we finally got internet back at our house. Had to go to comcast and buy a new modem. I hate comcast.
I've been working on a renderer for my unnamed SRPG combat engine, largely based on the one in Ultimate Game Programming with DirectX. I got the basics working, but it really doesn't seem to be th…

I've been (conspicuously?) absent the past week or so because my roommate failed to pay our comcast bill, which means no internet for me. I would have just gone to school and used it there, but due to snow and MLK Day, I've had the last 5 days off (which would have been awsome, had I had TV or inte…

Well, I had a nice little window wrapper class based on Oluseyi's article done and working over break, but I forgot to put it on my flash drive and bring it back with me. Shouldn't be a big deal, I'll just make another one. Easy since I've done it once right?
Wrong.

Back on the west coast. Flying across the country sucks.
Now that I'm back, its time to start looking for summer internships. I plan on going to GDC later this year and seeing what I can find there, but if I could have a job nailed down before that it would be fantastic.
So, basically, if anyone out …

Just got back from jury duty. It was pretty mind-numbing, but at least I got a lot of reading done.
Some progress on my unnamed SRPG prototype has been made, I'll write about it later.

Well, I haven't done a damn thing in the past week or so.
Okay, not exactly true; I've been getting together with all my of old friends I haven't seen in a while since I'm home for the holidays, but developement-wise, not a damn thing.
For the past year or so, I've had an itch to make a strategy RPG …

So, I'm at home for the holidays, and since my dev machine is a desktop, I am without a suitable developement platform. This, combined with the fact that I can't drink heavily whilst at the parents house, has made me really bored.

Well, after 8 months of killing my productivity, I figured its about time to give something back to GameDev.
