I am starting to work on a new game, a hacking simulator. I have wanted to do this for a while and was going to attempt this as my first game. I am glad that I waited. I learned a lot by building the small games and preparing the code for the high school classes.

So I got all of the pieces and parts Wednesday night. Everything goes together fine in about 20 minutes. I plug it in, hear one beep from the BIOS, but nothing on the monitor. My monitor is dead!!!
Yesterday I bought another monitor, the same one I had. I set up the BIOS and try to boot my syste…

So I have been off doing other things for the last several weeks. My computer blew up (literally, blue smoke) 3 weeks ago, I got married 9 days ago and was on my honeymoon all last week. So after much perperation for the wedding, it turned out great.

This took me 4 hours in Blender.
Gingerbread Man
The learning curve is tough, but I think without the book it would be almost impossible. If you are thinking of starting modeling with Blender, I would suggest the 2.3 Guide. I said I wasn't going to post a picture of the Gingerbread Man, but I wor…

I installed Blender 2.3.7 last week and attempted to use it. It took me about 2 hours to get the windows positioned. After that I was able to make a pointy cube. It only took me 1 hour to do that. I decided to get some help. So I ordered the book from Amazon.com and it was delivered Monday.

I started off tonight thinking of the best way to change the music issue with the Tetris clone. I decided to drop the MIDI files and create WAV files. So I begin surfing the internet for some cheap/free software to do this for me. I find an article that shows how to use Winamp to do this. It tu…

So I'm watching my fiance play the game yesterday, and realize that when restarting the music, there is a small pause in the game. I never made it through an entire song to really see that. So I am going to play the music in a seperate thread, seperating it from the UI (should have been that way …

This game is officially done!!! Tonight I implemented the ability to change the song while playing the game. I also created the icon file for the game and implemented a simple help window. I figured with this game, an extensive help system was not needed. So I went with a simple message box tha…

I finally got the sound implemented into my project. After 4 hours, I have a midi file looping. Using the API to play midi files in .NET is a lot harder than in C++. I really don't know what Microsoft was thinking there. I wound up using the mciSendCommandA API calls to play the MIDI file. The…

So, after reading an excellent article on this website about game programming, I decided to follow the advice in the article by creating a Tetris clone, a Breakout Clone, a PacMan clone, and a Platformer.
My Tetris clone is almost complete. I was looking for a place to "publish" it, and found the G…
