Computer Woes
First, I am back. I was away because of computer problem. I re-built my computer and it would not work. I tried three different motherboards and none of them would work. They would all give me the beep code that the memory wasn’t right. So, I tried three different sets of RAM. The beeps continued. …

Sorry For Being Absent
Apologies for being absent the past few days. I’ve been busy writing, just not game programming related topics.

It serves as a …

Loooonnnngggg Day
It’s been a very long day. I’ve been working tirelessly on a project for a client at work. It is automating processes for them to analyze data. It is pretty dry, not near as enjoyable as working on a game or writing something. I have a few minutes to spare so I thought I would …

Well, I’ve been doing some work on my game in preparation for a new tutorial. I want to cover deploying to iPhone and Android. iPhone is the harder platform of the two. I’m still thinking about making it a video tutorial instead of a text tutorial. What’s Next? I’m working out the details for a …
I’m Back!
Wow, it’s been well over a year. Things have been very strange. However, I’m settling back into a routine and I want to get back to game programming and writing. I have been doing game programming. I’ve created a card game that I spend more time playing than writing. 😛 I’ve started work on making …
