gamedev has clothes?????
I desperately need some.
linky

also I really want to buy some new books
1. about 5 XNA books. there is a lot of stuff on the webs about xna, but I really enjoy owning books (even if i don't need them)

2. The entire shaderx series (for no particular reason, i just lust after these).

3. More of the *Gems books. I have one of them and it kicks some major butt.


To bad I'm super frickin poor at the moment

game programming news:
I wrote mouse support for my xna gamework (like a framework, but really more of a generic game than a dedicated engine).
It was really nice to finally write some of my own code, as I had been spending a lot of time lately adapting code samples to do what I want.

Next I want to work on some kind of generic context menu (think the right click window in Microsoft products)

I have all of the Game Programming Gems series (1-6 currently). They're pretty good, but they generally go downhill (slightly) as the series goes on. Or maybe it's just the new sections in the later editions don't appeal as much to me, I don't know.
Still, they're definitely worth getting, full of cool stuff. I need to invest in some of the GPU Gems series at some point...

heh
most of them are actually rather beyond my level at the moment. More than anything I just like to read them and imagine ways to use the techniques. Plus they're big and hardcover. there's something undeniably cool about large hardcover books.

One of the reasons I got all 6, they look cool all together [smile]
