Perhaps I should work on smaller projects... hmmm. In any case, spent some time taking a look into python on Android, tried the pyweek challenge, and NAILED THE HELL out of SATs... not the school education kind.

[DEVELOPMENT: Hell]
Hmmm... Archetype needs to take a little break (not that I haven't already put...]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2011 19:22:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249777-android-pyweek-and-seperate-axis-theorem/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249674-4x-development-and-holding-on-archetype/ [BLURB:] Working on a 4X game, and the Archetype Engine is on hold thanks to the flipping camera! Also, my job goes from part time to full time and I've been exhausted!

[DEVELOPMENT: Galaxy vs Archetype]
It's a bit of a bad habit of mine. I'll work on a project for about a month or two, then I want to try...]]> Sun, 20 Mar 2011 22:02:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249674-4x-development-and-holding-on-archetype/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249518-textures-and-blenders/ [BLURB:] Ummm... Yup. I have textures and I export from Blenders


[DEVELOPMENT: Archetype Engine]

Ok, so I haven't been saying very much this month. I had a bout where I REEEALLY wanted to play a good space based 4x game, but failed to find one that fit my desire. After that, I tried X2: The Threat on Linux. Fun game, but a...]]> Fri, 25 Feb 2011 02:05:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249518-textures-and-blenders/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249412-gah-almost-two-weeks/ [BLURB:] Not dead yet!

[PERSONAL:]

Ok, I haven't worked on Archetype for almost a week because my favorite RPG table top group suddenly finds itself GMless and I decided to try giving the job a go. Not that I've actually started GMing. It's an online group that used a virtual table top (VTT) and I've been...]]> Wed, 09 Feb 2011 21:49:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249412-gah-almost-two-weeks/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249314-possible-vbo-victory/ [BLURB:] I think I may have successfully discovered how to integrate VBOs into my library!

[DEVELOPMENT: Archetype Engine]

Having gone round and round and round the google merry-go-round in regards to VBOs with pyopengl, I FINALLY figured out how to get my hands on glGenBuffers and why my tests for always failed! Ok, it...]]> Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:25:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249314-possible-vbo-victory/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249295-ati-hate-me-i-think/ [BLURB:] A choice made 5 years ago is not effecting my 3D ENGINE!!! Grrrrr.... Have to put VBO development on hold! Grrrrr.... Vertex Array Object works like a charm... YAY!

[DEVELOPMENT: Archetype Engine]

Ok, I busted my mental hump trying to figure out VBOs. For PyOpenGL, most documentation on the subject is...]]> Fri, 28 Jan 2011 02:02:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249295-ati-hate-me-i-think/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249278-working-the-view/ [BLURB]: Studying VBOs and trying to determine the best method for rendering.

[DEVELOPMENT: Archetype Engine]

Yes, to be perfectly honest, I've been a little lazy the last few nights. Not that I haven't done any work, but it's been light; reordering classes and files, mostly.
That said, some of the reason I've...]]> Wed, 26 Jan 2011 03:30:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249278-working-the-view/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249249-bug-fixes-and-a-screenshot-part-duex/ [BLURB]: GOT YA! My camera works, finally! I fixed the rendering of the camera too, so it LOOKS like a camera. Nailed an interesting bug in my vector classes, and all is right with the world... oh yeah, another boring screen shot!

The blurb basically sums up the massive part of my work....]]> Sat, 22 Jan 2011 03:53:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249249-bug-fixes-and-a-screenshot-part-duex/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249234-bug-fixes-and-a-screenshot/

[DEVELOPMENT: Archetype Engine]

Still a number of bugs to clean, but I fixed enough of them to get something drawn on the screen now, and it's easier to see the two viewports. Camera's still a LOT funky, though, so a bit of work needs to be done. I DO have a...]]> Thu, 20 Jan 2011 02:40:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249234-bug-fixes-and-a-screenshot/ http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249213-technically-a-demo-is-written-errr/ [BLURB]: Viewports and camera and demos... OH MY! Ummm... but demo doesn't work yet... lol!

[DEVELOPMENT: Archetype Engine]

Nothing major to talk about this blog, but I felt I should keep anyone who's still watching this journal apprised... I not have a "viewport" class that handles viewport setup for...]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 04:03:00 +0000 http://www.gamedev.net/blog/831/entry-2249213-technically-a-demo-is-written-errr/
