Celenite

My third flash game, released a few months ago, based on Lumines but with my own twists. I really, really should have spent more time polishing the game, making it smoother, adding overall polish, and definitely putting in more sounds and graphics. I plan to do so soon, after I finish ga…

Tunnel Syndrome
My second flash game, Tunnel Syndrome, is out.

This is my first flash game that was done completely done by myself. It seems that the number one factor for making a popular game is POLISH. You can have incredibly simple gameplay that has been done over and over, but as long as it is very polished,…

First Flash Game
I released my first flash game!
Stay Up

It was a collab with a buddy of mine. It was just a project to get me up to speed with flash, which is extremely easy to use. Im working on my own project now with it, it should be done in about a month.

Go play Stay Up and give it a good rating!

Game 2
Game 2, my new project, is a "fake" 3d first person shooter, similar to Doom. Though I hope for it to have better graphics and music (I will be posting in the help wanted section for a 2d artist soon) than Doom, it will probably have less features as far as gameplay. Things such as multiple level…

Recap
If you havnt tried out my game, Hypertac, please do. Scroll down for pics. Play through all three levels and beat the boss. It shouldnt take you more than a few minutes! DO IT! Hint: Tapping 'M' allows you to shoot a lot faster than just holding down the space bar.

Now on to a bit of a summary:

Lame Game #1: Hypertac
Hypertac

Scroll down for pics and download link!

My first game, start to finish. Use WASD to move and either hold space to fire (slow) or you can tap M to fire fast. Once you run the game, give it a few seconds to load, sorry its so slow. Also forgive me for the large download size, the sound files…

Im back!
Its been a while but I renewed my subscription, yipeee!

In the next day or so I will be posting about my current project, which is a very crappy shooter, with the only goal being, "complete it from start to finish", and it seems that I have done just that.

After showing off my crappy game and letting…

23 & 1/2 Hours of Spring Break Left!
Adding the features I wanted to the compiler was trivial. Thus im getting bored of this BASIC compiler since I have everything done that I wanted to add except for basic type checking, error checking/reporting, and some optimization. But I know exactly how I would do all of the those, except for …

BASIC Compiler
I am very pleased with the progress I have made on my BASIC to C++ compiler. It is roughly complete, minus a few useless commands and a few things that were left out of the Tiny BASIC grammar I was basing this on, even though they are in the implementations.

I plan on turning this B…

BASIC to C++ Compiler


Input BASIC Code:

LET x = 39 * 2
PRINT "Hello, World!", 50+1, x
IF 5+5 > 123 THEN PRINT "Testing"

Output C++ Code:

//Begin Intro Segment

using namespace std;
int main()
{
//End Intro Segment
//Begin Variable Segment
int x = 0; int a = 0; int b = 0;

Game/Electronic Dev
I have been playing a little bit with my AVR and continued on getting a simple game working with the setup that I already had. The LCD only has two lines so picture it as scrolling. The player is represented as a O and with the press of the button, you move back and forth betwe…

I'll save you guys from having to see another boring picture tonight. But I did have a few exciting things to mention. I added a power switch so that I way I dont have to connect the battery every time I want to turn it on and then disconnect it to turn it off. Well I added the switch and all se…

If youve been reading my journal the last few days, I decided to dive into the land of electronics and microcontrollers. My ultimate goal is to get a keypad wired up and use this simple 8 bit "computer" to learn more about Operating System design. Tomorrow or t…

Fathom Update
I am about to make the third revision to my virtual cpu, Fathom. This last one should support just about everything that I plan to add to it and there shouldnt be any more major changes after its complete.

But there are some design decisions I have come to, specifically about the instruction set. …

Fathom This
I am either too much of a loser or just too dumb too code anything else (or both), so I have been working on an emulator for a VIRTUAL cpu that I made up. It is extremely simple. It has a 8-bit wide data bus and a 16-bit wide address bus. It is based off of the virtual CHIP-8 (without the game as…

I have finally finished typing the 34 files of code found in Appendix A of the latest edition of the Dragon Book. All the files compiled just fine. So tonight I typed up the last package, parser, which is the longest file at 207 lines long. I get 3 errors, one of them was just a typo so I recomp…

Dragon Book
For those who dont know, I have always been into compiler design. Though I have never finished an actual working compiler. I am making yet another attempt at it, this time though I have the Dragon Book on my side.

It has a complete front end in the appendix of the book that I wanted to possibly …

Tale of Two Wastes-of-Time
Ive been sick and just wanted to work on some stuff that ive been interested in, but never had any real use for.

So I made a program that lets me view files in ascii, bin, hex, decimal, and oct. It also shows all the info and attributes of the file.

Now tonight I plan on whipping something up using …

Core
So Core is coming along nicely.

If you dont know. Core is my library that includes a class to act as a Object Manager. You pass it a pointer to your update function and a pointer to your factory function. The factory function uses the library's Object class as a base for everything created using Cor…

Anyone need hosting?
(im going to wait to post anything about my engine til I have the core complete)

Is anyone interested in a Virtual Dedicated Server?
$45 a month + $75 setup will get you 10gb hard drive and UNLIMITED bandwidth.
You can upgrade any of the specs and you can choose which Operating System you want.
