15:35 - 27/01/09 - Pictures

Sometimes pictures tell you more than words ever could...

That's what happens when the game is building the tallest a ballon tower at a boxing day party when one team has 3 guys on, especially when one's a physicist.

... and this is my current working enviroment.

18:30 - 21/01/09 - It's Alive!

After finally getting all the necessary components for a game to be called a game (Rendering, Collision Detection, Enemy AI that can actually shoot you) working yesterday I've been trying to get the program into a form that will run on other people's PCs, which wasn't easy, but through lots of shoving of message boxes into the code and some educated guessing I got it working, yay! Must be because it's my Birthday. Now all that remains is to make it into something of a real game, like with fully working menus, and a couple of levels and AI that's fun to play with (the current AI just kinda of annihialtes you, or at least it would if you actually died when your health reached 0)!

Oh, and just wow at Obama's inauguration speech, it was good on so many levels it was quite breath-taking. The Human race might not destory itself just yet, let's Hope.
