You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

I tried using a particular engine for my latest game idea, but it doesnt seem to be the engine for the job. So I decided id go on a learning trip and make a engine for nothing more than the game I have in mind.

I first planned on working on the compiler today and maybe dabble with a net meeting like program that lets you view other peoples screens.
It turned out I worked on a key logger and making a class for the keyboard hook. Which I also used so that when I press SHIFT+CTRL+ALT no matter what window is …

I attended summer welcome today at the college I will be attending come next month, Austin Peay State University. I finally got to sign up for all of my classes. Though I did get all of the classes I wanted, the days and times of the classes are pretty spread out.

In the process of trying to clean up the compiler code, I made a few pretty useful classes. The classes dont do much, they are basically for the organization of the compiler.
Class Partition I love this. I use it to organize the output code. For example, I could have one for the header, the variable…

Ive been working on a compiler and trying to learn about CIL at the same time.
So I worked up a few examples using a simplified version of CIL and have been working on a compiler to take that simplified CIL (lets call it.. SIL? haha) and compile it into CIL.
SIL so far in my design just makes it so t…

I downloaded MS Visual C# 2008 Express and thought id play around with C# since I havnt used it in over a year.
Then I was thinking about the idea of making a compiler that compiled to CIL so I just wasted my whole day on messing with CIL.
If anyone knows MSIL/CIL out there, please tell me why this c…

4) Secant.
5) Maive.
I dont even want to think about finding a job right now. But for the rest of the night and probably most of tomorrow, ill be working on the hunting site which will bring me…

Revision 4:
SUCCESS!
My goal was to get the running, jumping, and collision working perfectly.
I did it.
It didnt take much time on this revision (experience helps a lot :-p) but as I already knew, I would have to scrap this version because it would be a pain to make jumping the way I want it to be.

Im back from Huntsville!
Tomorrow ill be spending all day on Lask so HOPEFULLY I can get some real progress done.
In the mean time, ive been playing Megaman & Bass, possibly my favorite megaman game. All I have left is Dynamo Man before I go off to face Willy! Ive also completed about 4 bosses …

Oh my, ive actually been designing a little bit of the game before rushing into it!
Ok actually, AFTER I already rushed into it. As a result im going to have to basically redo most of the code since its messy and buggy. But ah well, I think I can get it working RIGHT and be done with this section of…

Like I said, im turning this more into a megaman-like game.
I just spent 6 hours on redoing just about all the code over and over.
So now you can run and jump and it animates it just about right.
Problem is when you land, it looks as if you bounce up a pixel or two then snap back down.
Im not sure whe…

I redid the movement system.
You automatically run and you dont skid.
Other than that, I sat down and tried to design out the game.
I really want to change the game around.
I played the first Megaman game and im leaning towards designing it kinda like that now. Im thinking about giving the main player…

Game: Lask
...or that is will what it will be called for now.
Ive spent quite a bit of time just getting the sprite system set up so nothing really to look at just yet. But heres an in game pic. In the mean time, im going to bed.
More info/pics soon!

Why does it seem like everyone just wants to make their own version of existing games?
I know its hard to come up with an entirely orginal game but still.. but doesnt just coming up with your own story for a rip of an RPG about some guy with a sword or some copy of a 2d side scroller with some added…

I need a game idea.
It seems everyone has thousands of game ideas brewed up in their head but limited by their time and skill.
For the past 3 days ive been sitting around looking at indie games and making little "demos" of different things.

Hello there my fellow..unique people. Its been a while since ive touched a computer with the intentions of programming. But ive been craving it again and decided maybe I should try my hand at a simple game, start to finish.

This morning I decided to grab RakNet and give it a go. I thought a pretty simple chat system would be a nice short project to work on during my Christmas break.
At this point the server just sits there and accepts connections.
The client is able to connect to the server and send messages.

It works. It sill only does absolute links though. I guess im done with it since I dont see any things to use it for.
I like the notion of interacting with websites using a desktop app, I have never done something like that. So I will probaly think of an idea for my next little project based off th…

I have been working on this little web crawler and at this point it gets all of the absolute links (doing relative links will be a pain, ugh...) from the given website. My next task is to make it keep going after finding all of the links from the first page. That will be easy enough. But making it…

In the search of something to do, I thought that I would write a web crawler. And in C#, which I have never really used that much. I have no idea what I will do with it but it seems nifty. Maybe I will adapt it to a more specific task but until I think of one its just going to do a breadth-first se…
