Well, the game I was working on is finally out and I can now rest. It was a long project, but it was so much fun. I truly grew as an engineer and am now a lot better than I used to be, even though I used to think I was pretty good. It was amazing working on a team with scuh talented and smart engin…

Man.... lots of work lately, but it's getting there. We're racing towards the finish line, and although it's still a few weeks away, it feels like it's almost upon us. This explains why I haven't updated this thing in a while... and why this is such a short entry, gotta get back to work.
I'm tired. …

Not a very good day today. I pretty much think that everything that could have gone wrong did. Not coding wise really, just stuff. A good friend was let go today, they didn't tell us why. This morning he made us waffles, by noon he was gone. So yea, I'm upset.
Other than that... because of the long …

Slow day today...
Capt. Dale Dye stopped by today, I happened to be in the room where they were going to show him some parts of the game so I stayed to hang out. He's a nice man, he sure has a lot of stories and his insight and advice is really interesting. Last time I saw him was well over a year …

Just signed up for the World of Warcraft stress test. I didn't get into the beta back when it started, and not being a real MMORPG fan I wasn't devastated. But from what I've heard, this one will be worth picking up, so I'm happy I get to play it in a couple of days, or whenever they open it for te…

The past couple of days have not been as bad. Though progress has been somewhat slow, the progress I have made is good solid stuff. Just a few more things and I'll be able to switch gears from getting stuff working to just fixing bugs as they come up.
Quick tip:

Man, it's 12:09 am... I shouldn't need to be here. I hate it when they ask for so much stuff in such short notice. This blows. I want to go home and sleep. Oh well, I'll be able to post a link to show what I've been slaving over once this is done... in the meantime, I think my build is done, so I'm…

Didn't write anything yesterday, it was quite a day, I was refactoring a bunch of script. My first idea didn't quite work as planned. But I was mentioning the problem to a friend and he suggested I try a point to line distance solution. Turns out that gave me a very nice, elegant and reliable solut…

I was just reading about LaMothe's new creation, the XGameStation. Here's what it says:

Infinite loops result in some truly unpredicatble behavior. Especially when the infinite loops exists in a script rather than in code.
Basically I had a function (I'll call it FunctionA) that worked something like this...
while ( conditionA is false )
pause execution here
if we got here, then call…

Just got back from having dinner at the cafeteria, had a turkey sandwhich with swiss cheese and what felt like three pounds of icecream. Today is one of those days, I've been working most of the day on the same thing and yet at the end of the day I feel like I have accomplished nothing. I'm probabl…

So here I am at work, I just signed up for GDNet+, like many others my main motivation to sign up was to support GameDev which through the years has been a great source of information.
Not many people here know me, in fact, probably no one does. I've never been the kind of guy that spends a lot of t…
