Sorry for the long time no post! I promised an abstraction tutorial. It isn’t coming, still can’t find examples. The articles I write just spin around my mind a bit, evolve in there and then come out with some reviews. And besides half of my review crew is currently unavailable (Maurice is on a vacation), they aren’t spinning in my mind.

“But Nick,”, I hear you say, “what ARE you doing, programming-wise?”

Glad you asked! However, it’s very, very little. I’m busy with Pixlings. I realized that this is a much bigger project than I anticipated. There are so many parts doing different things that need to work flawlessly together. In contrast, all of my programs until now had one objective and were no longer then a few hundred lines perhaps. I wrote tons of those, but bigger projects are really a lot harder. Therefore, I’m now focusing on game-development in general, development on Pixlings has seized until I am a better game programmer. Can’t tell a couch potato to run the marathon eh.

Besides programming there are many, many parties. This weekend wrecked me, slept very little and when I did it was at unfortunate times. I leave it up you to figure that one out for yourself.

In unrelated news, I got my VWO diploma and my driver’s license! So it’s time to party hard and drive other people back home safely. My mother’s car is really hard to drive though, the clutch is one annoying motherlover.

Meanwhile I rediscovered WoW which kills all and everything and lots of time. Can somebody pull the plugs out of every WoW server in existence so I can continue working on more useful stuff and make Blizzard finish Diablo 3? kthnxbai
