Wow has it really been this long since I posted a journal entry. Man time really flies right by it is just insane.
Over the last few months I have been going through the motions of designing a project. The project is rather over ambitious for sure and
99% of the worlds population would probably ca…

One thing I have noticed over the years is that software development is becoming ever more fragmented. When I say fragmented I mean the platform choices are expanding rather dramatically. Years ago if you wanted to develop a piece of software you mainly had one choice the desktop. Whether it was…

This is a rather short blog post. I have had some ideas for a project recently with some of the various endeavors I have been contemplating.
One of these endeavors is either a desktop application or web application not sure which but I think it makes more sense as a desktop application due to it's…

The development environment predicament has been a on going thing with developers for years. Constant arguments over the smallest things such as programming languages, version control tools, even the great editor wars. I find it quite intriguing how much developers really like to argue over petty…

It has been a while since my last post for good reason I have been mighty busy. Now that things have settled down I have finally gotten the chance to start to piece together my embedded development environment. Embedded development is a quite an interesting beast in that many of the development c…

Hey guys it has been a while since my last post. So I would first like to give a few little updates to what I have been upto.
First and foremost my attempts to get back into game development was a total fail. It just did not work out. I was starting then I lost interest quickly and proceeded to g…

Hello Everyone,
I feel it is time for some updates on my game as I really did not say much about it. So I would like to introduce you to the concept of a game I have been wanting to make for years. The game is called Orbis. The general idea behind the game is Asteroids with a twist.
So ultimately …

Hello Everyone,
In my last post I was using QTCreator with QMake to build some SFML sample code. In order to get the code to run from the ide if you remember correctly I needed to copy the SFML Runtime dll files to the directory because we were dynamically linking. I did mention that I could not r…

Well so far I made a few decisions and was able to get some basic code up and running to test the environment.
The first decision I made was to use C++ over Python and other languages I know. The main reason for this decision is library support. When I look from the perspective of game developmen…

Hey everyone, finally got all those W8 issues sorted out. Had to do lots of patching for VS2008 for school and had to disable secure boot ect... to get the UEFI layer to allow the video card to function but all is setup and good to go.
Over the past few days I am been really pondering various aspec…

This is just a random rambling I do apologize. In all honesty it really does get under the skin all the time.
Over all I think the OS is great it is very slick and fast much more so then previous versions of the Windows operating system. The speed increases really help with increasing productivity…

As I promised the Mosin Nagant has arrived. The Mosin I have received is 1942 Izhevsk 91/30. I think it would be best to give some background before the pictures.
The Mosin Nagant was originally designed by the Russians in 1891. The approximate pronunciation of Mosin Nagant is (Moseen Nahgahn) due t…

Hey Everyone,
Not many people read my journal as much as they did in the past when I was heavily into game dev but it really does not matter. For one I very seldom even post anymore. The reasoning behind this is I have greatly drifted from game development and focus more on embedded stuff.
Right no…

Ah, Hello GDNet.
It has been a while. My external blog has been shut down because overall I found it rather difficult to write about what I was doing at the time and it was killing my focus. I completed my very first micro controller project which is an Alarm Clock running on a PIC micro controlle…

Hey GDNet,
My new blog is up and running now and I have gotten my first post up. Nothing really interesting just a Welcome post.
There is much more content currently in the pipeline and I think it will really come into being as its own little side project for me.
I will be embarking on my first solo …

Hey GDNet
This is just a quick update on where things stand.
First sorry for not posting more PIC journal entries. There are two main reasons for this.
The first reason was after working my way through a majority of the tutorials I feel PIC is not quite the right micro controller for me. It is a gre…

Hello GDNet
First keep in mind this is a rather long post. I also have images in a entry album for you.
So my PIC Micro Controller starter kit arrive a few days ago and I started to tinker around with it. I really like this piece of hardware.
The circuit build on the development board is very clean.…

Hey GDNet,
I know I don't post often enough a lot of this has to due with me being boged down with school + a full time job. The other reason is that I don't really tinker around with game programming that much anymore either. I still want to learn opengl at some point or another but this has been…

Well my current prog ress state on learning OpenGL is that I currently have gone nowhere. Essentially it is at a stand still. There are a few reasons for this.
First reason is procrastination.
Second reason is more or less the cause of the First.
Right now I am really tied up with another project th…

Hello again everyone.
I am finally after a very long time going to be diving into 3D for my next project.
In order to do this I obviously need to learn a 3D api and after much evaluation I have
decided to learn OpenGL. The main reason for this is not because of its cross platform
support but because t…

Hello Everyone,
After that last rant post I felt obligated to actually post something useful. I feel horrible when I rant like that but sometimes it just feels necessary.
On a side note however, yes I still hate VS 2012 Express. After all these years you think Microsoft would Update their damn C co…

Interesting state of affairs I have come across today. So lets just get into it and try to be short and sweet.
Today I have been doing some research on graphics API's. For the longest time I have been wanting to move to the 3D end of computer graphics. As everyone knows there are 2 API's for this…

Holy crap has it been a long time since I posted here. I have been so tied up with school and work that I kind of just fell of the face of the earth

Wow Hello again GDNet it has been quite a while since I last actually logged into the site. As for what I have been up to; well I have been drowning in school work and honing my development skills. Lately I have mainly been using Python and experimenting with the Python Flask micro web framework…

I figured before I bow out of this excellent community I would give an appropriate farewell. I have been a member of this site since 2006 and enjoyed a lot of moments here. But it is time to move on. The first thing bringing me to this conclusion is the lack of passion I have for game developmen…

Hello GDNet.

Recently there have been some posts around about people considering using C over C++ for god knows what reasons they have. As per usual the forum crowd advises them to stay away from C and just learn C++. This is great in theory because over all despite the insane complexity of C++ it is a much s…

Why hello there GDNet. Once again the odd ball me gets to share something that not may GDNet people get to experience all that often. The topic of today has to do with how Linux has saved the day for me. I am sure many people here already know I am a very avid Linux user. I don't have anything …

Not really journal worthy or at least typical for my Journal.
So I am sitting here right now on my Linux Dual boot getting ready to setup some stuff for the OpenGL SuperBible 5th Edition that I am working my way through. I wanted to get everything set up on my Linux development side of things becau…
