Overall, dipping my toe into the Android waters has been a unique experience in comparison to anything I have ever done on the PC. Considering that I favor C++, and to that effect have been coding for microchips as of late. It took no time to get back into a JAVA frame of mind.
For what it is worth,…

Two posts in a day? Wow... I can't even remember when I posted twice in a day ....
Anyway, I spent the majority of the day trying to finish up all of the graphics for Critter Smash. Usually, I'll code up to a certain point, then take a break and create whatever graphics are necessary. At least for m…

It's been a about a week and a few days since I've started learning my way around the Android SDK. Early on,it is somewhat obvious that if you truly want to be able to troubleshoot your game, a solid foundation of the Android platform (non gaming code) is essential.
From what I've seen in the way …

So how did I go from IOS to Android in less than two weeks? Well, I could really go on a rant about how the Cocos2dx documentation is limiting, and by attempting to circumvent Objective-C, I would be limited (knowledge-wise) to mainly programming games only. However, that is not the real reason why…

As much money as I've spent on education, books, and software. Now you tell me that for[font=calibri] $99[/font] I can be considered a [font=calibri]"Developer"[/font]? .... I have to wait 24 hrs. But hey...money well spent right?
LOL...If it were only that simple
So yesterday, I spent a lot of time…

Amazing how much time flies.
So let's see, I've been busy with school full time - two semesters away from senior status. The current day job (full time) is constantly brutal as always. Hmmmm what else .... let's see....my 3rd daughter Savannah was born to me back in July of this year. I guess I c…

Well sort of...I've really been thinking about not limiting myself to just Windows and keeping my options open for developing towards multiple platforms such a Linux and Mac OS. Tonight I spent sometime actually trying to setup a development environment using Cygwin & TextPad Pro. It is just am…

*Knock on wood* I may be finally adjusted to working fulltime and taking classes...the last month plus has been a a$ kicker... Not in regards to subject matter but time management and a increased pace... I think I'm adjusted *lies*

If you came here looking for an educated breakdown of how to create a 2D platform level then let me apologize now because you wont find it here. Yet this is where I find myself. How could something that looks so easy be so complex?
I have to admit that I figured creating one platform level Ala Ma…

My main goal for the weekend is to get the only level for P60 in the can by at least 90%. The toughest part thus far has been coming up with the artwork for the game. In any other situation I would have made everything in 3D instead of drawing, scanning, pixeling etc...why? Well because I suck s…

I always seem to spot a few post on motivation and enjoy reading what other developers attempt to do in order to rekindle that fire that got them started in the first place. Well I'll share with you what I do during those moments when motivation seems 100 miles away.

Over the weekend I was thinking about including joystiq support for Project 60. Considering that the universe of NYKO Air~Flo EX controller owners, of which I own is most likely very small, I figured why not at least support an XBOX 360 controller?...even though I dont own an XBOX
Anyway there I …

So here I am picking up the proverbial pieces after my devastating data loss . No success after switching out the enclosure, now I am left with the option of paying north of $130 to attempt the use of a data recovery service (To be continued...)

[font="Calibri"][size="3"]The nice thing about a hard and fast date is that it cannot be moved, no matter what, the date is coming so deal with it. [size="3"]Midway into week one I find myself still tweaking my attack plan here and there but the end date remains the same. [/font] [font="Calibri"] …

[size="4"]Project 60 (Conceptual idea phase) ~ A one level 2D platformer with possible End Boss (time permitting).
I've decided to push myself a little further than I have in the past, this will be my first attempt at a 2D platformer. With only 8 weeks to pull this off from scratch, no source co…

[font=Verdana]It's been a year since I've seriously kept a journal here. Life get's in the way sometimes and no matter how hard you try, you can't stop it. [/font]
