I've made a lot of progress since my last post, mainly in the renderer. I added High Dynamic Range Lighting, Cascade Shadow Mapping, FXAA, and the Cook-Torrance BRDF with roughness maps. The previous screenshots were an eye-sore, so it's a relief to have something that looks a little more modern. I'm still dinking around with the hacked-up level...

Posted 04 July 2012
So a lot of life-related stuff happened this Spring--most of it good, but all of it quite mentally taxing. Incidentally, I got sidetracked and took a break from working on my new project. Recently, however, my interest in it is back with a vengence. The truth is I can't stay away from game development for long, it's my life addiction, for better or...
Zach's Development Journal > C++ Port of Artemis Entity Component System Framework (In Progress)
Posted 18 January 2012
This month is officially "wrap my head around Entity/Component Systems" month. I stepped away from coding for a bit and spent time researching different designs for handling game objects. Most interestingly, my search brought me to the Artemis Entity System Framework. Written in Java, the system is the best overall design I have seen so far...

Posted 10 January 2012
Software Engineering as I understand it involves the concept of software design. Anyone can program, and I would even venture to say that programming is the easy part. Good software design is where things get hairy. I consider myself a seasoned programmer, but a somewhat fledgling Software Engineer--a state that I think is fairly commonplace among academic...
