Yesterday I picked up a copy of Effective C++, 3rd Edition by Scott Meyers. So far it's pretty cool and loaded with stuff I had never thought of before. Reading it is kind of like having Washu tell you how to fix your design, only it doesn't make you feel bad :p

I don't have a speedometer on my bike, but my mom has one on hers, so I took her bike out today to see how fast I could go. With no wind, about a block and a half of running distance, and a slight (maybe 10 degrees) inclination I could get up to 25 mph. One would think that coming down the hill w…

So it dawned on me today that, if I have the internet, I'll just sit and get no work done whatsoever. Well, almost no work done. I'll write maybe 50 lines of code. Then erase it. Then write it back. Then go look for something to eat, but never actually get anything to eat because I'm too unins…

Xbox360, PS3, Nintendo Revolution, they all suck. I don't care how many trillion-billion triangles a second they can render, or how sexy their magical wireless controllers are, or how many war-glorifying WW2 FPS games are going to be out for it, they all suck. When they come out, I'm going to stick…

It was foolish, but I had to do it. I went to a stupid website today, thankfully I was punished with a stupid popup advertisement. This wasn't the first popup I've gotten in Firefox, but it's the first one that has made me feel like my heart was run through with a searing hot monkey-wrench.

Today is my half birthday. As such I decided to write a journal entry in my amazing GDNet developer journal. I'm too lazy to finish coding my game, even though everything is working perfectly so far. I'm too lazy to even play any games. I think I need more sleep.
In other news, I got a 30 on t…

My precious pong game feels lonely with only 6 downloads!
I made it last year and decided to release it. The good part is that it works, and looks alright, the bad part is that it's still just Pong. I don't know what to add to it to make it more interesting. Maybe some explosions would help? I b…

Fellow GDNet members, as I speak, my monitor's picture grows ever blurrier, and it ocassionally makes a zapping noise, goes blank, then comes back into focus. My monitor is dying. Soon it will be nothing but a screen, an electron gun, some other parts, and an incredibly dangerous capacitor. When…

Cruel fate, why must you deny me leave of this harsh reality? No, I don't want to kill myself, I just want to play FPS games. But I can't, because I get motion sick from them now. It all started with NOLF2, and I thought it was just the game. Then it happened with HL2, and I thought "Bah, low F…

Thinking about GUIs sucks. It's the worst part of everything. I don't know how to make one that's even semi-decent or nice to work with. The one I'm working on now will be sufficient but crappy none-the-less.
I've decided that maybe I should work on a simpler game, like a Galactica clone or som…

I order AI Game Programming Wisdom like 4 weeks ago and it STILL hasn't gotten here! The guy who I bought it from (bought it used off Amazon) said he shipped it on January 2. Ok, so the shipping service has taken three god-damned weeks and still hasn't gotten it to me.
Anyway, it's been months on…

If I were 8 and went up to my second grade teacher and said "WTF" I wonder what would happen...Same goes for "LMFAO!"

So std::ostringstream::clear() doesn't clear the STREAM, it clears all error flags. Yeah, took me a while to realize that one. Anyway, the world is now a better place since my font thingy works now. Well, it almost works. For some reason it still doesn't like to change its size. Oh well, that'…

If you're reading this, then I probably hate you. Why so much hatred, Samith? It's because my damn font thingy doesn't work, no one answered my post in the OpenGL forum, no one knows what's wrong with it in the IRC channel, the code is exactly the same as other code, which works, but my code does…

I just changed my desktop background to a jumble of leafy colors to fit the awesome October spirit. It looks really good, I think.
Anyway, yesterday I went to a national college fair. I didn't prepare for it at all or anything so I basically went around and picked up all the pamphlets with pretty …

There is no sad post icon, staff, could you add one for us?
Anyway, I'm sad because...I beat Tales of Symphonia. After nearly 60 hours of gameplay, I finally beat it, and now my life is completely empty.
Now, I have to buy Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, before my life withers away from lack …

Since this is a developers journal, and I have it, well, I might as well write in it. I don't know what to write though, so I'll tell you what I'm working on (I think that's good enough).
What I'm working on: A pirate game! That's right, I'm making a pirate game, it's going to be a turn based stra…
