Welcome back!
In this week's post I'll be talking about the Box2D physics engine, why I've used it and how I've used it. I'm not going to go into the specifics of how to set it up and use it, though. This isn't a tutorial. For that I recommend you check out the Box2D manual.

[color=#7D7D7B]Due to the recent influx of school work that Ben and I have had to attend to, we haven't actually been able to work on Station 6 this week. I'm still going to do a blog post though! This week I've decided to talk about where the idea of the game ca…

[color="#7D7D7B"]Hello again, welcome back to the Station 6 development blog! This week is going to be a short one as I'm not feeling too great at the moment. I've decided to show you the level editing system I've set up.[/color]

Hi again!
This week I'd like to give you a look at some of the technical details of Station 6. I'll be making numerous posts on how the game works as it develops, to give you an insight into the inner workings of the game and to show you my thought process when it comes to code. I'm using C++, with …

[color="#7D7D7B"]I'm excited to say that we've decided on the art style for the game, as well as the design for the astronaut. Earlier this week, I asked Ben to draw up a picture of what he imagined the in-game art to be like, similar to the one he produced las…

Hello again,
I've decided to pause development of Vegetables at War for now. I've been developing another project along side this one, in collaboration with another person doing the art, both graphically and musically. It's started to gain momentum and I thought it would be best if I chose just one …

This week's a short one. Looking back on this week's commits it seems I only worked on the level editor UI a bit more
Oh well, screenshot time:

Hi again!
This week I've been mainly working on the level editor. So, without further ado, it's time for the customary screenshot!
Let's get all of the small features out of the way first. I've added hitbox rendering, which can be toggled with toggle_hitbox_rendering. When hitbox rendering is enabled…

Same story, busy weekend, lots of homework, not much done, blah blah blah. This entry is going to be pretty short.
Screenie!
This week I've been doing a bit more on collision detection. I created a program that allows you to open up a model in either Wavefront OBJ or my own 3D file forma…

Welcome back!
Once again, I haven't had a great deal of time to work on VaW, as I came back from a trip to France on Sunday and started school the following day. But I've got a few bits and pieces done.
Customary screenshot:
As you can see, I'm playing as a tomato. What's great about the Asset-Player …

Hi again!
So, what have I been up to this week? Well, I was a little bit busy with other things not related to programming, and I also spent a day creating a C wrapper and corresponding Pascal DLL loader for my game library, which I mentioned a couple weeks ago as something I should do.
So it's time …

Hi again!
So, Vegetables of War has now been in development for one week. So before I start getting into the details, let's have a look at a screenshot!
Yay, programmer art!
Well, it's better than a bunch of grey blocks
It may not look particularly exciting, but there's a lot going on behind the scene…

Welcome to my journal! Every Wednesday, I'll be posting updates to the development of my next game, Vegetables at War (yes, it's Sunday today, but I want to get this introduction out the way ).
So what is Vegetables at War? Well, in the late Spring of 2007, when I was 13, I came up with an idea for …
