Rear-ended at a stop light :(. Not the best way to end Thanksgiving weekend.

Oh right, now I remember why it takes me so long to finish games.

So I've been looking a bit through the GameDev journals here and got kinda depressed. You guys are making some really great stuff, way beyond anything I'm doing. Keep it up! No, that's ok, don't worry about me.
Then I went looking through my own journal, and got REALLY depressed. I'll try to kee…

Dear The Register,
Stop using the word "boffin" in all your tech articles. It's annoying and there are less stupid words out there.
Thank you,
Rixter

It is the end of days for the dinosaurs. Thousands of meteors rip through the
atmosphere towards the chaos below, echoing off the distant mountains as
they collide into the earth with absolute destruction. All the dinosaurs, in a
state of panicked fright, come together in hopes of salvation, as imp…

Fortunately each of those terminals (including the ones on the other desktops) is running on a different computer. I love the summer, lots of spare cpu cycles around :).

This is probably going to be a long post.
So today I finished my last recitation I will ever do, after I finish grading the last assignment, I will no longer be a GTA. I'm not sure what all to say about it, I was pretty scared to do it at first, but in the last two years I think it has been really …

So I've had this urge to make little tile-based games lately. And I mean little, basically my old text adventures with graphics so you can see what "A small stupid room" really means.
I added a small amount of functionality to Scarlet, basically you can turn on and off Ortho2D mode now, which actua…

So since the 27th of last month I've been at school on averge 12-14 hours a day. Including weekends. That's two and a half weeks straight. Last night I finished it up with a good 20 hour day finishing a paper for a class. So now my classes are done for the semester, my projects are turned in, a…

So Thanksgiving break is pretty much over, I did nothing, and now I'm sure to fail out of grad school. Nothing I'm working on is working at the moment, I couldn't get out of bed today, and Captain Morgan's Tattoo rum is pretty good.
I mean, this is a development journal. TOday I thought about some…

So I've set myself up a new side project, because between Squarediana (which I never work on), SnakeEngine (which I never work on), and Grad School (which I always work on), I don't have enough things to do. This project is another ray tracer, this time in Java.
Why?

OMG! I actually won something off ebay!!!!
I've been bidding on crap all week and been getting out bid at the very last second on everything, and usually higher than I want to go anyway (I've been watching, and watch myself get sniped, and do nothing because most people on ebay are retarded and wil…

ZOMG so I didn't fix all the memory leaks like I thought.
I did get rid of all of them in Scarlet...sort of, but it turns out I had some strange stuff going on in my Glober (my huffman compressed file archiver) stuff, which Scarlet uses so I can load sprites and textures from Glob files as well as n…

So if you read my previous entry I was having some painfully hard to find memory leak problem. Then, if you were to read the comments, I had some sort of mutant vortex of impossibility appear inside my computer and make all kinds of impossible things happen, as mutant vortex of impossiblity's are …

Ah yes, gamedev journals, I remember this. Not that I've ever been ultra consistent or anything about it.
Anyway, I will post some random stuff now, with pictures!
First of all, I've began a new hobby: photography.

Well, school's been giving me a serious headache lately. This, for whatever reason, feels like the most tedious semester I've ever had. Grading homeworks makes me want to throw up, math isn't fun, and graphics has been interesting, but a bit slow. Sigh, only 3 or 4 more weeks (probably means 5).…
March 17, 2006
So it's been spring break this week, and I've been working on my own stuff for a change, instead of doing some very necessary school stuff. But anyway, I made a few additions to the Ringneck version of the SnakeEngine and also a few to my Samus Sprite Engine :).

So my raytracer was done, right? Well, it turns out enough of the class didn't get enough of it done, so we got a 1 week extension. So that means I got another week to work on my scene, right? Well, sort of. Not only did I have other stuff to work on, I was actually pretty happy with my scene, …

Well, after working on my raytracer all evening (and really, day), and listening to rad 80's music, this is what I have to show for it:
(sorry for file size)
The file is called desert, but I'm not sure where they are exactly, as I've never seen a desert that shiny before. Then again, I've never seen…

Put in a good day today on my raytracer, and here are the results:
Rather than bore you with all the images I made throughout making this thing, here are a couple of the better ones:

So I haven't been able to work on it for a bit, but today I did, and seem to have refraction working:
And also triangles, which is pretty cool.
If I have time I may take the code from my old graphics course where I made a loader for Milkshape models, and see if I can get something cool in it, right n…

So I've been working a bit on my ray tracer, so far it only works with spheres, but I did get diffuse lighting and shadows working:
And then just today:
I have everything being loaded from a file, that is the spheres, lights, render resolution, camera position, fov, and also the level of recursion fo…

So I'm currently taking CS510: Image Computation (formerly Computer Graphics) where the first assignment is to build a ray-tracer. Now I have a friend who has already taken the class, who's ray-tracer worked, but apparently not very well. So he challenged me to see who could build the better ray-…

So now that schools about to start up again of course I finally started work on my own projects again, that way I can just be getting into them as I have no time anymore.
A couple of my friends came over yesterday and we had a little programming party, which are usually really fun. It's a great way…
