Note that this is a replicate of my recent website post.
I just watched the second part of looking at XNA and am speechless. Deploying, running, and debugging an XNA game straight from Visual Studio, on an Xbox 360.... Wow.... I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on that Creator's Club …

Wow, it has been a while. I should really make it a routine to write something either on here, or the new website!
The old site was hacked together and I didn't really know how Drupal worked when I put it together. This new version uses Drupal 5.0 and actually uses it correctly and looks pretty cle…

Seeing that I had never made a breakout clone, I decided to throw one together, while still experimenting more with XNA.

After a bit of fooling around in XNA a bit, I (almost) made an XNA renderer for CeGuiSharp. There's still a bunch wrong with it and I'm not quite sure that I'll continue to hack at it. CeGuiSharp is such a mess and it's almost worth a complete rewrite from scratch with a new design. But you can …

As most of you know already, the XNA Framework beta was released so I thought I'd give it a try. It apparently requires Visual Studio 2005 C# Express (VS2005 Standard doesn't cut it), so I had to install that. Once that was installed, I loaded up XNA, ran one of the demos and kept on getting the …

I've made some progress on the 2D platform gaming goodness also known as Hazardous Hal:

A lot of things were redesigned, including a state system for the player. This means that it's much easier to manage whether they're falling, jumping, standing, etc. It's also very easy to add…

I have great, good and bad news. I'll start with the great news:Mono has setup a Mono VMware Image, which you can run SUSE ready packed with Mono through VMware Player. It's very nice because it lets you test our some of your .NET/Mono projects without having to reboot into a different operating s…

One of the first graphical video games was Pong, so I decided to implement it using Boo and BooGame:
BooPlayer Pong
The source is quite easy to understand if you take it one line at a time:

Sorry for disappearing and not being around as much as I would've liked. Work has called and I have to fill in the responsibilities of about two peoples' shifts, so it has been pretty intense. I'll be on and off and hopefully be able to keep the journal posts coming.

The Tile Studio Sint example is now implemented with BooGame. Again, thanks go to Scet for his brilliance (helped fix the flickering water). So far the Sint example is only available through SVN.

BooGame is now publically available through SourceForge. You can download it or check out the SVN.
What I need are testers and input. What does BooGame need? How is it lacking? Is anything not there that would really help you out? What other examples should be provided with the library? Would …

After hacking at it for about three hours, I finally got Tile Studio working quite nicely with BooGame. I used its code output feature to output script files which are then interpreted by BooGame during runtime. Here's a shot of BooGame's new ScrollDemo example:

Considering the lack of updates lately, I thought I'd just do a quick post saying what has been happening.

It's been quite halariously busy lately between school and family matters. Becoming a news editor on GameDev has also added a daily task that takes up even more time on my schedule. I always wanted to help out GameDev as much as I can, and I think I'm doing the right thing. It's been great to wo…

Krisc brought up a video about a Managed OS in which they talked about developing an operating system in C#. During the interview, they mentioned they were using Virtual PC for testing and this made me realize that Virtual PC would be an awesome way to test my own stuff in Linux.

My education program has gone on strike and this means that classes for the week were cancelled. Unfortunately we still need to do all assigned work, but it does mean that I've had a few more hours to work on Gsl. Today marks a special day, the first "good" test build of Gsl:

Two new releases are on the .NET front:
- SDL.NET 4.0.3-1 comes with a bunch of new stuff including some SurfaceControl fixes. I'm still not 100% confident with the SurfaceControl, but it is another step towards complete functionality. An example of using Tao.PhysFS for loading surfaces from zip fil…

The iPod is quite a fun toy, although I hate the fact that you're forced to use iTunes. I've subscribed to the Diggnation Video PodCast where the majority of the episodes are just about drinking beer and talking about stupid tech stuff off of digg.com.

Thanks to frostburn from #GameDev helping me realize that memory needs to be allocated before written into, Tao.PhysFs is now complete. I've uploaded it to the Tao Framework SVN and everything is good to go. Take a look at the source.

School classes are now in full speed now and my schedule is pretty leaniant when it comes to time. Consisting of only four days of classes, I should have enough time to decrease the number of items on my todo list.

First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I decided to renew my GDNet+ subscription as a Christmas present to myself. Rather thoughtful, I am. So welcome me back to the journals!

As some people's expiry for GDNet+ is coming up, I figured I'd make a journal post before my ability to add journal posts mysteriously disappears (GDNet-). Will I renew my membership? I don't know, I'll need to think it over. I've just been ntoo busy lately with work ad everything.

Some of you may have noticed I haven't been on in a while. This is due to the fact that I've been holding one full time shift at work as well as one part time. It's been pretty crazy, but I love the workplace and the people who I work with. I'm just getting more hours put on in this coming month…

I decided to re-vamp the scripting system that I was working on and give it support for C# scripting. The aftermath is GakScript, a scripting system that enables the ability to use C#, Visual Basic and JScript as scripting languages. It compiles the script via .NET's CodeDom and gets the in-memor…

I've implemented Crazy Eddie's GUI into the project with success. One problem though, it's really slow.....
It was such a pain in the ass to do as well. I had to cypher through Axiom (the C# port of Ogre) to find the C# port of Crazy Eddie's GUI and then get a working build of the CEGUI renderer f…
