I've decided to try to use PyGame for my entry. I have some experience with Python and PyGame looks (and I hear is) easy to use so hopefully that will help speed up my development process.

I havent done much personal programming in a long time. Due to a number of reasons it's probably been about six months since I wrote any code for myself but inside I've been starving for a reason to code again.
Maybe 4e6 will help me out with this?

Just a short bit of what I've been playing with recently.
I still work on my CMS off and on and recently I've been experimenting with REST. In my old design each module had a function called GetContent() which would be passed an array of POST variables and an array of parameters coming from the URI.…

I'm going to try to create at least one game for 4E5. I think last year my project was too large artistically for my abilities and so this year I've greatly scaled back my plans for how much artwork is necessary. Hopefully this will allow me to focus on the part that I can actually do.

I almost completely forgot that yesterday was April Fools! The only reason I remembered was when I saw the Flipcode-style forums. In light of the celebration here is a very clever April Fools prank

I'm trying to work out the concept behind a small puzzle game. The general idea that I want to work with is this:
It's a 2D game in which the user is presented with a row of bamboo shoots of varying height. There is a panda on the bottom which can eat the shoots, one section at a time. When a sectio…

As a gift from me to you I updated a game that I originally wrote a couple of years ago. I present Herman and the Falling Rocks - now with physics!

I've taken quite a break from my journal and programming in general [sad]. I'm going to try to get back into the game by working on my CMS some more (I've made quite a few changes since the last time you saw it) and possibly writing a small game and submitting it as a showcase entry. Maybe some oth…

I havent been coding too much lately. School just burns every desire I have to work on my own projects unfortunately. This piece of code is actually one of the last things I worked on, finishing it last month.

Way back in June I applied for a web designer job at UC Berkeley. After more than a month without reply I figured that they had forgotten about me [sad] But about two weeks ago I got an email acknowledging my application and asking me for an interview!
My interview was on Friday and they asked me to…

So I have this old Compaq Presario 4712 that I wanted to donate. I've tried to use it as a Linuxbox for learning but its 166MHz P1, 40MB RAM, and 2.1 GB HD were too limiting especially when I got to use an HP Pavillion 8565C for that instead. I figured I'd do a good deed and put Win95 back on the m…

I've become really unmotivated recently so I think I'm going to take a break from programming. Hopefully I'll still be able to produce a 4E4 entry but I dont think it will have all the features that I've described.

The latest system I have is an N64 (well, if you exclude my DS) and generally I'm pretty satisfied with not having anything newer but every time I see that commercial for Destroy All Humans I cant help but want a new console so that I can play it. According to evolutional it has the voice of Zim!

Yay #1: Today was my birthday. Last year I gave all of you ASCII Pie but since I gave you ASCII Pie not too many entries ago as well I wanted to give you something cooler.
Some time ago I broke my ASCII-Art editor program which brings me to Yay #2:

Long story short: which do you prefer, a hierarchical representation of a discussion (like the comments on LiveJournal) or a single-threaded modal (like the Gamedev forums)?
Long story long:

To be honest I've lacked a lot of motivation to work on this project [depressed]. I usually code a little something every couple of days but there hasnt been any major progress. I think I'm at one of those "so now what do I do?" points, you know what I mean? There's a lot I know I can do but I thin…

Thus far I've been using MySQL 4 for my CMS but it doesnt support sequences and I need them. Fortunately my host also supports Postgres SQL 7.4 which does have sequences. Yay!
I need sequences because I've made a change to my blog's database schema: an entry and a comment are now the same thing. Eac…

A long long time ago (maybe summer of 2003?) there was a lounge minicontest involving ASCII animation. I participated and began what would later become ConsoleLib: a Win32 console wrapper/utility package. The other day I wanted to update an old VB6 gravity simulator to include electromagnetism but …

So, I tried to draw some of the graphics I'll need for my game but that just ended in disaster. I guess I'm ok at drawing things from directly above or directly across but once I try to add in a little perspective my drawing goes from bad to worse. [sad]

I've started working on my 4E4 game. This is the final storyline (at least this is what I plan on being the final storyline [smile])
You're a programmer who has just finished creating your very own humanoid robot. Since you've been working all day on it, you hit the hay after you put the finishing t…

I have a basic version of the CMS up. If you decide to play with something and find out a way to break it please email me.
I'm also going to start using Smarty since I found out my host has it. This will allow me to remove the ugly HTML that currently lives in the PHP files and place it elsewhere. T…

I have a storyline now. The game will be about a programmer who has been taught in the martial arts who will be searching his city for the parts of his stolen robot. The city will be infested with zombies because, well, what else are you going to fight? Pirates? Let's be realistic here, pirates don…

At this point I can administer the categories, owners, and entries of the blog. Privacy levels seem to work right now (although I did squash a few bugs where they wouldnt take effect). InnoDB is a lifesaver with its foreign keys and cascading deletion! I havent yet implemented the comments because …

It looks like the administration of the blog is nearly complete. I just need to add in the creation/modification/deletion of entries and I should be done with that. Hopefully that will happen tonight.
Next I have to write the part that generates content for normal uses, that is the area to add/modif…

I've been trying to think of game ideas for 4E4 all day. At first I thought it would be fun to make a game that was primarily based on a good story about a hero's journey but then I realized that it takes a lot of hard work to first create a story and second to make it not suck. All of that comes b…

First, the paging class worked nearly perfectly out of the box. I only had to change the condition on the for loop when showing the page numbers but otherwise it was smooth sailing. Yay!
In other news, the core of the CMS (the administration of modules and users) is in a working state. Double yay! T…

So it looks like I've completed all the login/registration stuff and I've implemented member profiles and member profile updating (by the owners and admins). While writing the profile system I've decided that in some later version of the CMS modules will be required to supply member information (if…

I decided to try to force each module to implement a very specifically named class with some very specifically named members. The name of the class is based on the file name that the module is defined in: admin.php's class name is admin_interface, cudb.php's class name is cudb_interface. Each class…
