The, nowadays, three editors are all so busy. Michael’s doing lots of stuff at the university considering free open gaming. Maurice is doing a double BSc (Mathematics and Computer Science) and has his own company with a load of work. I have quite a busy job too and need to settle down at a new place (which I really like, but it could use some paint). To give you an idea of how busy I am, I didn’t read Questionable Content, XKCD and Zero Punctuation for over 4 (four) weeks. ZOMG>!±±±!!!1.

Thus, there are very few updates, but here’s futurePosts.peek();

1. The first update I really want to do is work on the Language … thingie. We still don’t have a good name for it. Seeing how it can generate words and such it might be a fun tool to play with. Maybe we can generate a word and use that as a name.
2. The second one is about the electronic drumkit. I want to drum so badly but I can’t fit in in my day, let alone fit enough time to finish the thing, but it shall be done! Sometime in the hopefully near future.
3. There’s no three. But post something you want to read/talk about.

Anyhow, I know we still have some regular visitors (mostly thanks to Michael I think, his articles are almost always at the top of viewed pages in Google Analytics), and don’t leave. Sign up for the rss/atom feed so you don’t have to check each time but get notified. That is if you’re using a decent rss/atom feed reader, I like Google’s.

If anyone has any ideas for the Language thingie do post them by the way! Implementations for ideas, ideas only (don’t feel limited by implementation difficulties), anything really. A little feedback is always nice to get.

Hey folks,

I nominated STFU for “Best New Project” and “Best Tool or Utility for Developers” on SourceForge, so don’t forget to vote for us! Or if you haven’t checked it out yet, please check out STFU and use it in on of your programs. You’ll like it.

Google it! First result, that’s Maurice and me doing another project together. A “simple” RTS. Simple as in that the graphics will be very basic, but the gameplay is quite complicated, but to be honest I don’t know for sure until we start coding and actually playing it. Anyway, most of the gameplay-design is, done, so it’s time to get coding. For more information, keep an eye on our google code page.

We’re doing it Top-Down for this one, starting with main as we’d like to see it and then let main call some non-existant functions, then create those, etc. etc. Hopefully we’ll have a binary in about 6-8 weeks. We also have our final exams though, so it’s quite busy.

See you around!

Long time no post, yeah.

So SSP is making progress, slowly as it is. As you can guess from the SXML parser it’s going to be something with a GUI, but the name is still a secret. I think the alpha version is coming pretty soon, but atm I’m rather busy with finishing up my coilgun project which is looking neat. We definitely killed an apple with the projectiles, I’ll probably add some photos later on.

Byebye for nowz,

I am in great doubt! What would you do when you had a perfectly working library for reading and validating XML files that is somewhat hard to follow and order around? Given that you’re stupid enough to think that designing your own data format and parsing that would be easier? Or not designing your own data format and writing a XML parser? I mean, how hard can it get right?

Heh. I’ll keep you posted. Don’t even dare to check the projects page, it’s shit.
