I guess David, I'm not going to be able to finish any projects right now. So, I'm just going to tinker for now; small things like particle emitters and such, just to keep me in the game lol. I'll just show you guys what I finish rather than post what I'm going to be working on (which is really a be…

Ok, I'm putting DFT off for now because I really don't feel like dealing with that when I can't dedicate tons of time to it. So, for now I'm starting some small projects that I can finish in my free time.
Project Super Nova

Life just doesn't seem to want to let me go anymore. I'm either working or hanging out with friends. Also, I've met this amazing girl, so I'm spending a lot of time trying to pursue that.
Anyway, I don't know when the next time I'm going to update and I don't know how frequent I'm going to be updati…

So, I'm back. I haven't even really touched my computer much since my last update (no, I haven't been playing MapleStory :P.) I'm not going to bore you with a long story of what I HAVE been doing. Long story short: I met about 20 new people and made several of the worst decisions I've ever made and…

This, my friends, is McBlock; a wanted man. An ex secret agent that is now on the run from his previous employers. After years of service to the Block Assault Division he's discovered that they're corrupt and now they're after him. The only way to save himself is to gather all the evidence and deli…

I've read 5 books over the past few days and the only thing I've learned is bit-fields lol.
So, a new plan has been formulated. I'm going to build a very simple game interface through which I can make small games with; like I did with the quickie series. I work today (Tuesday), then I have two days …

I didn't say it before, but I appreciate the encouraging words ukdm and Dave! Also, I'll keep an eye on the new blog Dave.

I need to stop posting way early in the morning because I tend to word things wrong a lot (and here I am, posting at quarter after 4 in the morning lol.)
Pretty much on all accounts I meant "I don't know how to take advantage of x." As I know the difference between the data types and I know the diff…

So, I've come to realize that I'm a pretty crappy programmer as it stands. I could barely answer why the prefix operator is generally better than the postfix operator. I couldn't explain why you would want to use one number type over another in certain situations (I changed this because I had miswo…

Well, definitely not going to make it seeing as how I haven't worked on it in 2 days. I'm fairly certain I could, but every time I sit down to program I feel bored. I can't seem to focus on it. So, I'm going to take a little break; play some games, relax, have some fun, and then come back. We'll se…

Crouched in the corner, I sat; waiting. They were coming and I planned on being ready for them. The darkness made it hard to see...which is exactly why I shot the lights. The dampness was getting to me, but I would have sat there all week if I needed to. Luckily, I didn't need to; I heard footsteps…

My friends decided that they need to screw up my plans, so I figured I could post some stuff. The challenge is still on, I just have to take some time off to help my friends out (and play Halo 2 of course.)
Anyway, I switched from LMNOpc's bitmap fonts to AngelCode's bitmap fonts and I'm VERY happy.…

I've posed a challenge to myself, so no updates until Saturday. Until then, farewell and don't forget, Friday is national Kick A Puppy Day.

Get the object hierarchy done today. Any number of layers can be added to an object. For example:
Which is comprised of 7 layers coming from two textures:
Sword:
Just a quick example that I whipped up, but it shows how things will be done. Here's the code to set it up:

One of my friends said to me today, "You're never going to get to 3D games at this rate!"
Shame he doesn't realize that I'm not working my way towards 3D game. It might eventually happen, but I don't see why it would. I know I get frustrated a lot and say that I'm thinking about switching, but I get…

I wrote this up for someone on the forums and figured maybe someone could use it. It doesn't use templates or anything, so evidentially it's "not good enough and a complete waste of my time", but wtfever. I don't see the point in wasting my time to learn dialog resources in C++ when I don't plan on…

Just got done finishing up the basics of the TextBox class. I added most of the basics like word selection (only works with the keyboard, you can't drag select text with the mouse), copy, paste, and cut. Also, you can :
* Hold alt and press numbers to enter characters.
* Hold control and press left/r…

I didn't get any work done today, but I DID learn a little bit about Python. I'm going to be fooling around with it over the next few months, so expect to see some small stuff on that end.

I know, I missed my screenshot for the other day. To be honest, today is the first day I had free time to do any programming and I put it all into making a new site design for dft.

Of course I had to drop a couple designs because of things like stupid fucking IE not supporting the :before/:after and such. Still turned out decently IMHO.
Any input? Color changes? Layout improvements? I'm up for anything!
*I just made blockquote's italic and I think it looks better.*
And no, this …

I really, really dislike my website's design, but I can't find any free templates that I like even a tiny bit (big surprise, eh?) So, I'll probably take some time in the near future to destroy everything I've done and start completely from scratch. Guess it's time to put my knowledge of XHTML, &…
July 25, 2007
So, I'm going off course again. I agreed to do a project with one of my friends once he gets back from California. So, until then I'm going to be working on building a small code base to work on said project with. We haven't full decided on what the game will be other than it's going to be a 2D RPG…

Lol, everyone misunderstood what I meant by interface design. I wasn't talking about UIs (although I do love designing and developing user interfaces.) I was talking about interface class design; designing a class so that you can pretty much modify it completely without messing with it's interface.…

Ok, I've got the project that I'm going to be working on once the code base, Chompy, Blocks Gone Wild, and Spelunker are done. All I'm saying is that it's code-named Project Alchemy.
As requested, here's my list of classes: Class List. Will probably be modified over then next few days and once I get…

Got some work done today, but most of my time was wasted playing through Oblivion (had to beat the main quest line so I could move onto the Shivering Isles and then I had to beat that lol.) Anyway, I'm pretty much just getting started. I have about 90 classes to go (at the moment; more than likely …

Went and saw Transformers today; fucking awesome movie; you should go see it.
I haven't gotten any work done on DFT. Trying to get back into it, but I've been busy working and hanging out with my friend. I've got it practically all designed out though, and I think the design is going to work; I gues…

Well seeing as I can't fucking stick to one plan, I've made a slight change of plans. I'm going to hold off on writing the networking module until I get to Project Lockdown. I'm also adding a project, The Forge, which will come before Invasion. Then, I'm moving Project Lockdown up a slot; so it goe…
July 03, 2007
I'm starting over. Completely. I've archived both DFT and Invasion onto CD and deleted them. DFT was way too rushed to be useful or effective. Seriously, I don't even have audio features, my GUI system is half there, and my graphics system is hacked together. Plus the fact that I tried making it to…

Haven't worked on Spelunker much today; about an hour combined. Most of my time has gone into updating the console system; adding support for more colors, ignoring the background color when printing text, and adding mouse input.
Spelunker wise, I've got most of the basic systems done. Keys, blocks, …
