Sometimes....

Sometimes when I'm coding, I occasionally get the urge to put "I am a genius, teeheehee!" in the code. Then I remember the Brillant Paula Bean. Somethings are perhaps best left unsaid ;)

Coding Into the Wee Hours of Insanity...

I've come to the realization that trying to code while tired is a virtual waste of time. I spent an hour debugging code a few days ago that I solved in minutes just now with a fresh perspective. Better off getting some winks and coming back later :/

About a week before the practicum project is due. I'm doubtful it will be complete (to the extent of my original proposal, that is), but I've pulled off bigger miracles in less time. I certainly plan to keep working on it even after the due date, however. It's just too much fun ;)

Updating....Updating....Updating....Done!

Well, this post is done :P The game is progressing quite nicely. I still don't have a name, but I do have a video now! Youtube royally butchered it, though, so I will have to make another eventually. I'll probably do one once I have more to show. If my current track record is any indication you can expect that sometime next year ;)

Mmmmmm....Juicy!

So I haven't posted in a long time, as usual :P But progress has been made, especially in the last week or so. A lot of what I'm doing right now is "under the hood" so to speak: it'll be very important in the end, but there isn't much to see just yet. Nonetheless I felt like posting a screenie. Obviously everything is subject to great change ;) I still don't have a name yet, as you can see by the title of the window. If anyone has any ideas by all means share them!

The Game: A Teaser

I threw together a quick MSpaint teaser concept art for my upcoming semester project. It's only meant to be half serious. Just serious enough that you get the subject :) This Friday is the due date for the first draft of my project proposal, so expect something more substantial than MSpaint after then.

Google Chrome-A first impression

So I'm trying out Google Chrome, Google's new open source browser which is now in open beta (Windows only, so far). I have to say, it's only been 5 minutes, and I'm already in love. This thing is FAST. Plus it has a slick UI that really doesn't waste screen space. Only time will tell if my first impressions hold up, but I'm pretty impressed thus far.

7 Steps to Bungie Domination

1) Attend state university to avoid attracting unwanted attention. After all, while ninjas are noble creatures, they work in secret.
2) Using super sneaky ninja skills, lie low and scope out the video game industry for 4 years while learning how to kick coding ass and how to rock the guitar drums.
3) Create a monument to all your sins, aka "The Game" (the name is still being worked out).
4) Send fruit basket to Jerome the security guard.
5) While Jerome is busy chowing down on a Washington Red Delicious, sneak into a board meeting and use a classic "Bet you can't stick it" zinger to gain attention.
6) Use super flaming ninja skills to blow faces off prospective employers using "The Game" as an example of my mad super coding skills.
7) Beg until they cave. Repeat as necessary.
