I'm canceling my gamedev.net premium membership soon, so if you want to follow my work, please follow my blog over at http://jlongster.com/blog. I still plan on working with Scheme and game programming, and I think it will continue to be really interesting stuff.

I am coming into the final stages of my iPhone game, Farmageddon. I made a video showing about 2 minutes of gameplay and posted it to youtube here:

my OpenGLES-based graphics framework. I was able to avoid it for long

I am in the final development stages of my Scheme game that will initially be released for the iPhone. It's been an incredible adventure to leave my job and pursue this full-time. I have learned so much and I really hope I can continue doing this.
This is one of a few posts I will be making in which…

This is definitely not an interesting post, but rather a request. Does anyone have 3ds Max that would be willing to convert a model from the .max format into something more standard? .obj would be the best, but .3ds is fine too.

I just launched http://jlongster.com/. I will be actively posting projects and blog entries related to 2d/3d graphics development, and hopefully game programming. I'm a Scheme programmer, so a lot of it will concerning Scheme. You might be interested in stuff there though.

Hey guys,
I'll be canceling my GDNet+ account soon. I'm moving my blog to smallnum.blogspot.com. I'm in the process of porting over my recent posts there.

Merry Christmas Eve!
There are three things I've been thinking a lot about recently: module systems, build systems, and type systems. These disparate technologies are related in funny ways: a build system inherently falls out of a module system, and type systems must be aware of module boundaries. …

Hi. My name is James. I'm an optimization junkie. I enjoy blazing across the bare metal of computers' circuitry, dangerously soaring through the lands of computational existence and virtualized memory. I once even saved a kernel from panicking.

I need your guys opinion on something.
I'm working on implementing a flexible vertex stream system. It should be easy to add different kinds of a data, and query for certain types of data (like normal, position, etc.).
It seems easy to create a VertexStreamList class that contains a list of VertexSt…

So I hear about this design pattern "factory." Basically if you want a core component of a system, you call
GetRenderSystem();
or maybe
BaseApp->GetRenderSystem();
Ok, I can see some benefits of that. But really, what's the point? I've decided that I like having a few globals. Simply pointers to…

Alrighty, I'm going to code again. It's just a little hard to have a programming job and still be motivated to code in my free time. But I'm interested in graphics enough to get back into it. That, and I like C++, and at work I do mostly shell/php/perl. I miss compiled languages.
