  New city, new portfolio | 
Posted - 3/14/2009 10:27:02 AM | I have succesfully moved to Helsinki, though the apartment is of course still a mess. While organizing the apartment, I also decided to reorganize my Portfolio page. Please check it out, all kinds of comments are very welcome!
I should be hearing about the job next week.

| Sampling some C++ | |
Posted - 3/9/2009 2:18:46 PM | Since I have the job interview on Thursday, I decided to brush up my rusty C++ skills and make a quick work sample while at it, as I haven't really worked with the language since about 2004. The position I'm applying for is UI programmer, so I made a simple but relatively flexible "game style" menu system. At first, I had to look up lots of things in documentation, but at least I knew what to look for, and overall it went surprisingly smoothly. I spent about two evenings on it, so don't expect anything polished.
If you want to check out the demo and some old stuff of mine, see http://www.brainfold.org/portfolio/. I'm releasing the code in public domain, but check copyright.txt for the font copyright. Apart from the demo, my time has been spent preparing for the move to Helsinki on Wednesday, so again, don't expect any real updates for at least a week or two.

| Moving on | |
Posted - 3/4/2009 5:31:06 AM | I haven’t updated for a while again. Let’s get gamedev news out of the way first. I haven’t worked on Artillery Brawl for a couple of weeks; instead, I have tried to get the card game ready for testing. I made some prototype cards by putting pieces of paper in sleeves that are opaque on one side. This has the advantage that I don’t have to go through the trouble of making the back sides of the cards look identical, so it’s much easier to make changes. Unfortunately, while the rules are basically ready for testing, I ran out of card sleeves, and when I bought some more I accidentally bought a different size… Now I’ll have to wait until next week to buy some more, sigh.
Anyway, about next week… I have a job interview at a game company (wish me luck!) and I’ll be moving back to Helsinki where I used to live four years ago before I moved here to Tampere. I also have a couple of deadlines looming for university courses, so I’ll be quite busy for the next week or two! At least I already have internet connection at the new apartment, so my connection to civilization won’t be severed.  See you in a couple of weeks!
