So I've been working on Gorgon 1.1.x off and on (more off than on). And today I wrote up a lengthy entry on the new animation system I've set up for Gorgon (cause the old one was ass), plus I threw up a new video on youtube showing the system in action. I'm quite proud of this technological terro…

As a general rule I think the mods/staff should automatically close all current and future threads started by this guy or just beat this this moron. They seem to have this site confused with another well known troll hangout.

DARTH BALLMER YO!
Note: I actually like Microsoft quite a bit, I just found a picture of Steve Ballmer that was, to me, quite creepy. And I ruined it. - So please, no anti-Microsoft/pro-Microsoft commentary
I'd like to point out something I've been noticing. More so on IRC than on here, but I thin…

So tonight in my boredom I'm just reading back through the IRC log for the last couple of hours in #gamedev. I don't have to search far to find two things that made me execute a perfect 10.0 facepalm:

So I got a message on my forums a long time back from this guy who had plans to use Gorgon as a 2D layer in a 3D environment. In theory this should work. In reality there was absolutely nothing to allow the user to do this. So I made a half-assed interface to allow the usage of Gorgon's Direct 3…

Says BlueEbola. It's never enough says I.
Anyway, so in case you didn't know, I remixed a song that Ysaneya posted in this thread. So of course, I decided to take a bunch of backing tracks I got from Harmony Central and mix in some over the top guitar.
The results can be had here. Some are fucking…

A new version of Gorgon has been released.
This is the first so-called Stable release of Gorgon. So now I'm out of beta. I'm going to be sorry for that I just know it.
Go now and feel the pain.

They do.
Anyway, if anyone can answer this question (it's very easy I'm sure), I'll give you an un-cookie. I'm just unable to think of why it's doing what it's doing, I feel I should know the answer, but it's escaping me. So, answer it. Now.

So last week I went out and laid down some cash for proper web hosting at HostGator. I heard about them through one of the users here on Gamedev and decided to check them out. They looked pretty spiffy and clearly much better than the hosting you get at sourceforge (you get what you pay for I sup…

another X vs. Y thread (I'd supply a link but they're everywhere, if you can't find one you're blind) or a "OMG VISTA = TEH SUX0R BECUZ SLACHDUT TOLD ME SO EYE YAM L33T!!! PLEEZ G1BB0R ++RATINGS ONLEE!!" posting I'm going to go on a killing spree. Really now, why don't mods just start suspending/…
February 10, 2008
For some odd reason, I get an error when I try to visit my Gorgon page (which is hosted on source forge). If I refresh the page it works just fine. I've run into this with other pages hosted on sourceforge, including the sourceforge site itself. So if you've tried to get Gorgon, and you got an e…
February 10, 2008
Because I've not heard anything, I want to know: Who's tried out Gorgon? I know people have downloaded it and whatnot (unless sourceforge is lying to me). I'm wondering if anyone is actually using it, and if they are, what's broken? What needs improvement?
I know the design is a little... fucke…

In the fucking face.
Tonight two movies appeared on TV. One was War Games. And the other, Hackers. For those of you who've never seen War Games, you're probably entirely too young for your own good, but it's a fun little movie. Definitely hasn't aged well, but that's part of the fun I think.

I made some small corrections to Gorgon, namely in the TextSprite object. You can read the changes file to see what's been done.
It's now available for download from my webpage. I also updated the pre-compiled demos.
Be sure to uninstall gorgon/the demos before installing this one. Not that it'l…

But I've updated the installer for Gorgon (using the NSIS installer, quite flexible, and quite painful to use in my opinion).
I've bundled the x64 and x86 versions together and the installer will ask you if you want to install either one or the other (you can install it twice if you want both). T…

So I had to fix up the installer, and of course this caused some major fuckups with SourceForge.net. So if you had a corrupt download or a broken link, try it again, it should be working now.
With that said here are some updates:

I've finally released a BETA version of Gorgon. It's only been .. what? 2 years?
The documentation as I expected is horrid. And furthermore, I don't care. Suck it up. Back in -my- day we had to code by disassembling other people's code. You kids today have it too easy...
But I digress, it's ava…

So while I'm waiting to have my previous Gorgon example image show up on IOTD, which, should be around June 19th 2183 given that it's kind of broken (sorry, an image from 2006 showing up after an image posted on 12/17/2007? That's a bug kids). But I'm not bitter... [grin]

Here.
That video is an example of a quick and dirty game I did with Gorgon tonight. Nothing special, and of course, very unpolished (you'll notice the collision detection is lacking).
So yeah, it works. Finally, after all this time, it's doing what I intended for it to do.
Joy.

Just try and prove me wrong.
3870
So I finally got my Diamond Radeon HD 3870. The new card from ATi.
I paid $269 in total for it, the competing card, the GeForce 8800 GT was going for $289 at the cheapest places I could find. That is, $289 base price. The $269 includes tax, quick-rma fees, and…

It really is.
I mentioned the game in passing to my brother last weekend or sometime before that and last night he tells me that his wife is now obsessing over the game. Poor guy, he's being driven to insanity because the end game song is never ending... Well, never-ending in that it's being played…

Dog the Bounty Hunter is the ultimate apologizererer.
With that, I made a small addition to Gorgon tonight, namely a "StaticTextSprite" object.
What is it? It's basically a Text sprite object that doesn't change. Similar in principle to a static vertex/index buffer. The idea is for large amounts o…
