I have recreated my Star Wars game using the Phaser Game Engine. I thought it turned out pretty good, it uses Firebase to keep track of the high scores. After 500 points the play changes a little bit, I will eventually add more elements to keep making it harder. For now, the only real challenge …

It has been a long time, but I am back and have almost finished a game.
I am currently in a coding boot camp and in the midst of researching game engines, I ended up almost finishing a game by myself. Our team decided we were going to create a game like the classic arcade game 1942:
We decided to …

I am giving up on the Triple Booting and Mac altogether (for now). One of the only reasons I was trying to triple boot was to get a Hackintosh working so that I could create iPhone Apps. Then I was going to buy a Mac to do it, but don't really feel like spending the money.

Later today, I will attempt to re-install Snow Leopard with a new bootloader. If I can not get it to Triple Boot, I will be buying a Mac Mini.
I currently have a Triple Monitor setup with my PC. Is there any KVM switch that would allow a Triple Monitor setup with both the Mac Mini and a PC? Or …

I had Ubuntu 9.10, Windows 7, and Snow Leopard working on my system. I couldn't get the Grub2 Bootloader to show Snow Leopard. I changed a couple of files and fucked everything up.
I reinstalled everything, but was still getting a Grub error (couldn't find HD), so I zeroed out all of my HD's (took…

I connected a new 150GB Velociraptor (only HD connected) and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Worked perfectly. Then I added a 1TB HD using a separate SATA cable and the system wouldn't start up. I switched the SATA cables and nothing. Then I removed the extra HD and started again. Windows starte…

I almost forgot that I sent in two 150GB Raptors back to Western Digital due to failure. Well, they are sending me back two 150GB Velociraptors :P
I am thinking I should put Windows 7 on one and use one of the Terrabyte hard drives as storage for it, and Snow Leopard on the other two. Then I will …

Well I have two 1TB HD's coming on Friday from NewEgg. I also ordered the Retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate from Amazon which will be here on Friday as well.
I was going to order the Snow Leopard disc from Amazon, but it was only $26??? Is this only an upgrade or the full version? I couldn't f…

I never really partition my hard drives. Is it smarter to reserve a smaller partition to install the OS on and have a separate partition for data? I usually do one full partition and just install the OS and go.

Well, I made it through the interviews this week and I have been offered the Quality Engineering position. It is more of a lateral move, but I have nowhere else to go in my position now.
I now have an actual career path to follow opposed to a "job".

I am in the process of changing careers. I just had an interview yesterday, which I thought went OK. Now I have another interview tomorrow (2nd round) that I need to make go better.
I am a little rusty at interviewing, I haven't done it for over 10 years. I didn't need an interview for my current…

I started the book: Beginning Silverlight 2: From Novice to Professional last night. Going slow since I only have about an hour to 2 hours a night (I wish I could devote more time to it). Did the first two chapters last night.
I can't wait to delve deeper into it :)

Well, I didn't receive any response on which book would be a good book to learn Silverlight with, so I bought all of them on my list. I will probably start with the most basic one. For now, I have been reading some online tutorials. I also bought Microsoft Expressions Studio as it was on sale fo…

Hopefully, learning Silverlight won't be too hard. I figured since I dabble in web development and I am trying to learn C#, I thought I could learn Silverlight and kill two birds with one stone.
Does anyone have any recommended Silverlight books to learn with? I was thinking of one of these:

I want to add a third monitor to my setup, but I am not sure how. I currently have an 8800 Ultra with dual monitors. Would I just add any video card for the third monitor? I assume if I add another 8800 Ultra and do SLI, I would only be able to do 2 monitors, or would I be able to do up to four …

My neighbor came over the other night with his laptop and invited me to join his Gang in Facebook. That was a mistake. Now I have 8 tabs open with:

Dragon Wars
Prison Lockdown
Pirates
Heroes vs Villains
Bad, bad, bad. Now I spend hours rotating through them …

Now that college is done, I am back into the programming game :) I am planning on doing the XNA workshop coming in April (end of March) so I figured that would be enough time to run through the C# workshop beforehand.
There is also an XNA group here in town that meets once a month and an IGDA group…

So, when does it all come together and just click?
I have made a few text type games, I understand the loops. I need some practice with pointers and polymorphing, etc. But when does it click? Is it after you learn the Graphical API's?
Maybe I know the answer and I just want clarification. I belie…

Why do I keep stopping and starting? I finished school in March. I could have started up programming again, but I convinced myself that I am too old to be a game programmer. I am too old because I have too many responsibilities now.
The problem is that I am bored with my current job and whenever …

There was this software that was being worked on a year or two ago that integrated all images found on the internet to make perfect images of things such as the Eiffel Tower or Golden Gate Bridge. It made a perfect 3D view of it that could be zoomed in all the way to a bolt.
