The miss raising the Peace signs got the “Best Listener” award for the day So today I had the pleasure of visiting a local high school in Spotswood to talk about games development. It was the first time I’d stepped into an actual classroom (lectures and stuff at conferences and IGDA meetings held in classrooms […]

Torque 2D
February 16th, 2005 · No Comments · Software
Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So I haven’t been around GG much in the past few months, which is why I missed out on the early stages of Torque 2D development. I just found out about it in the press release I got about it being previewed at DesktopSummit. I was immediately intrigued, since I’ve always […]
The 21st Century, version 5

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So happy new years to everyone and all. I’m kinda excited about this year. I haven’t had a really big year since 2001 (when I joined GI, joined GDNet, wrote for a book, restarted the NJ IGDA chapter, joined the IGDA, and some other stuff) but I think this one will […]

Yey Ebay
December 30th, 2004 · No Comments · Personal, Software
Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll I don’t really know why I’ve never used Ebay before. Thinking back, I can’t come up with any real good reason, except maybe it’s because I’ve always had this thing against used stuff. I can’t explain it really but buying a used item never really made sense to me. I don’t […]
Progress (?)
December 29th, 2004 · No Comments · Software
Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So it’s the middle of the week, which means vacation is pretty much half over, so I figured I might as well post an update. Nothing major lately. I’ve been working on Katana for about 2-4 hours a day since Monday and made some good progress – the listbox widget is […]
Tis the Season to be Busy
December 18th, 2004 · No Comments · Personal
Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll So yea, things have been rather hectic lately with the onset of xmas (1 week!! whoo!!). Today I finished almost all my shopping. I’m getting a lot of gift cards this year, since I’m too lazy to look for individual gifts. Plus I just plain suck at finding things people like. […]
text input boxes
December 2nd, 2004 · No Comments · Software
Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll The GUI expansion continues! Here I have a text input box set up. I’ve always had text that you can change, but I’ve never wrapped it up into something like this. Meaning the input text (standalone) only accepts input after the text itself is clicked, not a certain area (like a […]

So It’s Been a While…

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll Well, so much for debugging and testing on Sunday eh? . I ended up spending the day at a gymnastics meet instead. Then Monday I was shopping all day for a bookshelf for my room and then spent the night catching up on email and forums and doing the GDNet newsletter. […]
