Who says template metaprogramming can produce confusing error messages?

Got in touch with the chap at Chumasoft or whatever it's called and he very kindly dug out my Milkshape key for me. Excellent customer service, very impressed.
Since I'm working on a 3D game I figure I'll need some animated models at some point so started dusting of my Milkshape skills again. Nothin…

Thought since the festivities are nearly upon us and I'm off tomorrow to rural Scotland, the land of limited internet, I should pop my head into [s]bad-tutorial-land[/s] journal-land and say hi.

Might as well post some work related stuff since I'm certainly not doing any other programming.
While Qt is a fantastic library, one of the great things about Win32 is that you can subclass pretty much anything you want to do pretty much anything you want. The downside of a GUI library based on inhe…

Again, long time no post, simple reason is that I've done nothing programming related outside of work.
I've decided tonight that if I'm going to work on games in my own time, I'm going to write Flash games. The reasons for this decision are as follows:

Something I really want to put into Om, my scripting language, is custom types and nested types. This is a for fun project so something being difficult is not a reason to avoid it - quite the reverse really. But it is definitely bringing its own problems.

Might as well post up some more detail on my compiler/VM as I'm bored and home on a Saturday night.
I got concatenation operator working today for arrays. The following works:
[source]
char[][] a={ "one","two","three" };
char[][] b=a;
out a[1]+"\n"+b[1]+"\n";
a[1]="fish"+"four"+"five";
out a[1]+"\n"+b[1]+…

Bit too tired to write this up in detail, but I've got an interesting system working in the VM now where, as per ApochPiQ's advice last post, I'm now using reference counted garbage collection. A buffer is also tagged to say whether it points to a list of allocated buffers and if so, when it is fre…

Hey. It's been a month since my last journal. That's long. Lots of us seem to be posting like this these days.
Work continues well. It has been a big shift from being a solo hobbyist developer to working on a real project as part of a (admittedly small) team but I was kind of prepared for the differ…

So I'm still alive and the job is still going well. Much as I feared though, I've lost all motivation to work on pet projects in my own time, but I guess that was inevitable. May change in the future, who knows.
Actually got my hands on some C++ at work now although I was quite happy messing about w…

So first day in the new programming job today and all went very well indeed. Was just setting the PC up all day today so not really a typical day but the people seem lovely, its a nice office and there is an entertaining dog that dribbles on you while you work.
Looks like the first order of business…

I've got to the point where I'm thinking about plug-in support for Opus and after many hours sitting in a cafe scribbling notes about the pros and cons of DLLs, I decided that a scripted solution was the way forward. I've been looking into various options and, as per usual with a hobby project, bec…

Lesson learned. When dealing with people in the professional world, never ever assume that they know you think your code is crap.
I was emailing back and forth with the guy mentioned recently about this potential project. Now I should know better than this - I'm an experienced B2B salesman and have …

Hmm. So now I have to research Qt. Looks quite impressive.
Now building the library at the command line. Man, this makes me feel like a proper computer programmer. Might full screen the command prompt and dress up like Neo for a bit. Fuck I wish I'd set the prompt font colour to green before I start…

Hmm. So I applied for a job as a C++ Developer recently. Was quite amazed to see one advertised in my home town and am massively underqualified based on the spec (degree, experience, all the usual stuff) but thought sod it, I'll send an email.
The guy came back within the hour to say that while I wa…
