I'm pretty damned tired today, so I figured I'd just point out that I did a bit of fiddling with the vertex buffers in Iodine.
Then I'll leave you with this comic.

Added a whole pile of stuff. Hooked up the Engine item, finally, so the engine recharges after jumping properly.
However, it appears that doing this busted the star map's distance calculation, so I'll go back and fix it.Consider that fixed.

Tonight I worked on GUI layout stuff in Iodine (starting to get pretty good), finishing HL2 Episode One (that was pretty quick) and a bit of planning for Novarunner over the next few weeks.
I suspect I'd better get busting on doing the Glow postmortem; it is in thirteen days!

I forgot to mention: on Saturday, after I made the entry, I got gambling all hooked up. It works pretty well, but the spinner control you use to enter your bet amount only goes up by one every time you click on it (and you can't hold down the mouse or type in a value).
So I'm going to fix that.

I spent a bit of time working on getting AABBs to work for the Geometry class in Iodine; the idea is that you'll be able to shove a bunch of polygons into the Geometry and have it provide the ability to frustum cull as well as render using an index buffer and vertex buffer.

So I implemented the bar because I clearly like to burn out my eyeballs and brain trying to figure out crappy arrangement math.

I got radio buttons working in Novarunner as a pre-run for the shop screen, which will use radio buttons to filter what items will be visible.While you can't see it in the screenshot, the active button does pulse, which makes it easier to see which option is active than the shot lets on.
What's next…

Really didn't get up to much today. I did work on drawing a vertex buffer using an index buffer, though, and that works.
I also thought more about writing a generic serializer; this is going to require me to think more about it before I can make a decent stab at it. I think it will be kind of cool, …

I believe I asked this during the initial release of this review, but... does anyone here speak Czech?
It looks like a mostly positive review. [smile]

Today will probably be rather light on personal coding, so instead I'm going to talk about Afterglow. But first, Mac fanboyism. Quiet, you. There's always a consequence to getting juicy information.

Woo woo. I guess I'm going to do another week full of daily entries. This is awesome.

So I implemented the data grid control. It was surprisingly easy once I figured out how I was going to emulate the data binding interface from WinForms; the key is obviously a common interface and then a few adapters for whatever arbitrary data I want to display.
It's pretty nice. Now to figure out …

Okay, so I got my work term report done last night, but I was too tired to get any game work done.
So I called the GM service centre to see what's up with my car (a 2001 Cavalier VLX sedan) as far as their last diagnosis about "preventative maintenance" on the head gasket.
These are the same techs wh…

I'm afraid updates will be scant this week; I am working on my work term report paper, due on Tuesday. Once that's out of the way, though, I will continue my maintenance and construction of the bar.

Anyway, so today I dedicated to fixing several small niggling issues in Novarunner that I had held off until later because they annoyed the hell out of me to fix.
This means that I've killed off the following bugs (at least):

I should probably save this for tomorrow, but SHilbert and I finally got the radar working properly when you're flying upside down and the like.

If someone can translate the content of the subject line for me, that would be ace, thanks. Being raised on the Queen's English, I don't quite understand your "icy hot gangsters" and other kinds of pseudo-American gaucheness.

So I started planning out all of the various panels of Novarunner's space station interface, as well as finishing off Bioshock this morning. I told you guys I'd finish it off and then bust ass on code. [wink]

Surprisingly, I actually got a bit of work done last night between all the Bioshock and sleeping. I'm surprised too.
I'm starting to work up at least a mock interface for the space station stuff; pretty soon* you'll actually be able to buy/sell stuff. But what's more important is that you picky bast…

As if my unproductivity weren't bad enough, Space Giraffe got released this mornin'. It's pretty awesome, go try it out. Play the tutorial level first, get the hang of scoring well, and then I'll see you on the leaderboards.

Three bugs off the rack:
- Energy is no longer taken from your pool to recharge your shield when it is already full,
- Achievements are now handed out at 100 kills (Dead-Eye)
- Particle systems are properly deleted
August 18, 2007
So I got particle systems working; they emit from a common point with a given spread and are affected by a "gravity" vector you define. I'm using it for explosions and "omg I was hit" sparks when your ship gets hit.
