So much for the daily journal entrys so far. Let me see if I can't improve that from here on out. I've been pretty busy at work lately and have found myself being a little tired once I get home, hence the lack of entries.

I had an otherwise long weekend. Nice to see a new four elements contest. I'll definately be entering. Work, work work, that's what I'm doing the most of. Well, got to get ready for work.

The battle system in C.F.L. is a little unconventional. For the text game, when I designed the system last year, the way the battles work is this.
1.An enemy is generated based on location and a pseudo-random generated number.
2. Number of turns for the battle is generated pseudo-randomly with a maxi…

Well, it's been a while sense my last entry. Unfortuantely for me, the current trend seems to be a lack of focus in the development portion of my life, which is where I would like my of my effort to be spent. I suppose other things in life occassionaly demand attention however. You can trade in you…

Not too much developement went on these past four days. I was lucky enough to get to spend that time with my son, as well as see Episode III which I have mixed feelings about. I'm just now sitting down to begin pinning over some code for an hour or so, at which point I'll have to go to work. It's f…

I spent about six hours reading yesterday. This is a good thing because I have about ten books that I recently bought that I have yet to read. The book I was reading was Visual C++ Goodies by various people from CodeGuru.com . Effectively the book is a collection of various articles from people on …

I sat down yesterday to start working on developing the central process station for my NPC objects for C.F.L. Up until this point the initial frame work for the system has been in place, but I have yet to make it functional. It had been a few months sense I had really looked at my code, and I came …

For one reason or another, probably because my sleeping patterns are always a bit obscure, I haven't been able to get more then four hours of sleep at a time. This is alright as it has allowed me to make some good use of my time. I guess that doesn't quite qualify as insomnia, but , heh,. what are …

Hum.., well I thought I would take a moment to update my journal. I didn't spend as much time developing this week thus far as I had initially planned, but I was able to get started on the frame work for rendering components for phoenix and myrrh, which is a step in the right direction. It's unfort…

Not really too much to report. I spent the better part of today doing some game related stuff, but it was for other people, which is cool, but not any progress on my projects to report.
I did however decide to take the route of developing my editor Myrrh, using MFC even though I've shied away from t…

Alright well, here is an attempt to resubmit the post that I was working on the other morning. Let's see if I can get this posted this time :)
Here is a summary of my current projects:

Well, I just wrote a hudge post about my two projects, and then my sister called with a family emergencey. I forgot to refresh my browser before posting, so it was erased, and now I have to go deal with a bunch of bs her boyfried is putting her through, and make sure he goes to jail for the night, …

It's hard to believe that April is already almost over. 2005 is well underway, Star Wars release is a mere 21 days away. I'm an avid Star Wars fan. I have been sense I was eight years old and my uncle showed me RTJ for the first time. I suppose this could be hinted at by my current avatar. I just h…

Music, it is a constant inspiration for me. While working, or durring liesure time, it seems music is always around. Recently, and for about the past year or so, while I'm working, I like to listen to game music. I have my own collection, but also find myself constantly listening to RPG Radio whic…

Ok, that's rather annoying, I hate it when you spend ample amount of time writing a rather long post, and then, when you go to post it, BAM.. your suddenly logged out, or it doesn't get processed for some reason. Such is the essence of the universe I suppose, impermanence.
At any rate, my previous a…

Well, I decided to sign up for a GDNet+ account today to help get some additional exposure for myself and a few of my associates. Hopefully it turns out for the best. I am a bit frustrated however as I have to leave in a few minutes and there are a few settings that aren't working, even though some…
